At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe in more than just teaching martial arts—we are building a legacy. When we think about the future, we imagine a thriving community where the principles of Jiu Jitsu extend far beyond the mats, shaping lives, families, and the world for generations to come. Our vision is strong, looking 100 years ahead, to a time when the seeds we plant today have grown into something truly extraordinary.
A Legacy of Excellence
One hundred years from now, we envision a school that continues to uphold the highest standards of martial arts education. Our structured curriculum, which already sets a high bar, will evolve to include new techniques, philosophies, and methods, while staying rooted in the timeless principles of Jiu Jitsu: efficiency, mutual benefit, and adaptability.
Generations of students will pass through our doors, each learning not just the art of Jiu Jitsu but the discipline, respect, and resilience that come with it. We dream of black belts who will look back and say, “This is where it all started,” as they carry our legacy forward to new heights.
A Stronger Community
A century from now, our impact on the local community will be immeasurable. El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu will remain a cornerstone for personal growth, leadership, and connection. Families will look to us as a place where values are cultivated and where people of all ages come together to pursue a shared goal of self-improvement.
Through programs like our youth ‘mat chats’ on life skills, adult mentorship, and initiatives like the Guardian Scholarship, we will continue to shape confident, compassionate leaders who make their mark on the world.
Global Reach, Local Heart
In 100 years, we see our school’s influence stretching beyond El Dorado Hills, with alumni teaching and training around the globe. Yet, our foundation will remain steadfastly local—a place where beginners and world champions alike feel at home.
Imagine a network of Jiu Jitsu practitioners, all tracing their lineage back to our small town, each spreading the values we hold dear: integrity, humility, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Innovation with Purpose
The art of Jiu Jitsu is constantly evolving, and so will we. One hundred years from now, we envision embracing new technologies and teaching methods to ensure that the art remains accessible to all. From virtual reality training tools to advances in biomechanics, we will use innovation to preserve the art’s purity while enhancing the learning experience. Who knows what things could look like if we continue to incorporate technology and scientific principles into our program!
A Vision Rooted in Tradition
As we look to the next century, we are inspired by the words of Jigoro Kano, the founder of Judo, who emphasized “Jita Kyoei”—mutual welfare and benefit. This philosophy guides everything we do. Whether it’s on the mat, in our community, or in our personal lives, we strive to build a culture where everyone grows stronger together.
Our 100-year vision is bold, but it is also grounded in the daily work we do right now: coaching our students, fostering a positive environment, and building a culture of continuous improvement. Each day, we lay a brick in the foundation of a legacy that will stand the test of time.
Join the Journey
We invite you to be a part of this vision. Whether you’re a brand-new student or a seasoned practitioner, your journey at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu contributes to something much larger than any one of us. Together, we are building not just a school but a legacy—one that will inspire and empower generations to come.
Let’s train for today. Let’s dream for tomorrow. And let’s build for the next 100 years.
