Join Us for El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu’s 15th Anniversary Black Belt Seminar!

As we celebrate 15 years of training, community, and growth, El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu is excited to invite you to a special Black Belt Seminar in honor of our anniversary. The seminar date is to be determined, but we couldn’t wait to share the exciting news with you!

Our Humble Beginnings

Fifteen years ago, we started as the first Jiu Jitsu gym on the western Sierra slopes along the highway 50 corridor without a resident black belt instructor. Back then, we relied on our passion and dedication to learn and grow. What started as a small group of grapplers has evolved into a thriving academy with a team of black belts and dedicated practitioners who train hard and support each other.

Why This Seminar is Special

Reaching our 15-year milestone is a testament to the dedication of our members, coaches, and the families who have supported us along the way. To commemorate this journey, we’ll be hosting an exclusive Black Belt Seminar, led by our highest-ranking instructors and special guest black belts. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to the mats, this event will offer valuable insights into Jiu Jitsu techniques, mindset, and the martial arts lifestyle.

What to Expect

  • World-Class Instruction: Learn from experienced black belts who have spent decades refining their skills and developing their teaching methods.
  • Exclusive Techniques: Get access to high-level strategies and moves that will take your game to the next level.
  • Community Celebration: This seminar will not just be about training, but about coming together as a team. There will be time to connect, share stories, and celebrate how far we’ve come as a school.

Who Can Join?

The seminar is open to all students, regardless of rank or experience level. Whether you’ve been training with us for years or just joined, this is an opportunity to be part of something big.

Stay Tuned!

We’ll be announcing the exact date for the 15th Anniversary Black Belt Seminar soon, so keep an eye on your email and social media for updates. This is an event you won’t want to miss.

Let’s celebrate 15 incredible years of Jiu Jitsu excellence together—on the mats and in the community! From a small gym without a black belt instructor to becoming a hub for Jiu Jitsu in the area, this milestone is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of everyone who has been a part of our journey.

Jon Chan’s Black Belt Promotion and Seminar at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu

On October 1st, El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu celebrated a significant milestone in the journey of one of its dedicated members—Jon Chan. After 15 years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication to the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Jon was officially promoted to black belt. This achievement not only marks a personal triumph for Jon but also reflects the values of discipline, resilience, and growth that our gym strives to instill in each of its members.

A Journey of Hard Work and Dedication

Jon’s promotion to black belt represents a journey that began years ago with a white belt and a dream. Like many, Jon started at the bottom, learning the fundamentals, honing his technique, and pushing through challenges along the way. His commitment to improvement and his consistent presence on the mats have been an inspiration to everyone at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu. As a competitor and a leader, Jon exemplifies the tenets of martial arts and has become a role model for students of all levels.

In addition to his promotion, Jon taught his first black belt seminar, sharing some of his favorite techniques and concepts that helped him reach this level. Students were treated to insights from Jon’s experience as both a competitor and a technician. His seminar offered an opportunity for everyone in the room to learn from someone who has walked the path from white to black, with countless hours of training and a deep passion for the art.

A Family Moment: Promoting Logan to Blue Belt

In what made the day even more special, Jon had the honor of promoting his son, Logan, to blue belt. Watching Logan’s own growth in the sport has been a joy for the entire gym. Father and son have trained side by side for years, pushing each other to improve and sharing countless hours on the mats. To see Jon, now a black belt, present Logan with his blue belt was a touching moment for everyone in attendance. It was not just the celebration of one promotion but the continuation of a family legacy in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

As Jon shared, “There’s nothing more meaningful than being able to pass on what I’ve learned to the next generation. To promote Logan to blue belt on the day I received my black belt is an experience I’ll never forget.”

Looking Ahead

Jon’s black belt is a testament to his perseverance, dedication, and passion for Jiu Jitsu. At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we are incredibly proud of Jon and look forward to seeing him continue to grow as both a martial artist and a coach. His seminar marked the beginning of a new chapter in his journey, and we are excited to see where it takes him and his family.

Congratulations, Jon, on your black belt and Logan on your blue belt—both incredible achievements that reflect the strength and unity of our Jiu Jitsu family!
