Ruckus in the Hills: In-House Tournament and Fundraiser for Guardian El Dorado Hills

On Friday, September 27th, El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu is proud to host the highly anticipated Ruckus in the Hills, an in-house competition that promises to be an exciting showcase of skill, determination, and community spirit. This event is not only a chance for our members to challenge themselves on the mats but also a meaningful opportunity to give back through our Guardian El Dorado Hills project.

A Competition with a Purpose

Ruckus in the Hills is more than just a friendly tournament—it’s a fundraiser aimed at supporting the Guardian El Dorado Hills initiative. This project provides scholarships for students in need, allowing them to train and grow through the transformative art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We believe that everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances, should have access to the life-changing benefits of Jiu Jitsu, including discipline, confidence, and community.

What to Expect

The in-house competition will feature divisions for all skill levels, from beginners to intermediate practitioners. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or it’s your first time stepping onto the mats, the event is designed to foster growth and sportsmanship in a supportive environment. Plus, it’s a great way for our gym community to come together, test their skills, and cheer each other on.

Spectators are welcome to attend and show their support! All proceeds from the event will go directly to funding Guardian El Dorado Hills, ensuring that more students have the chance to step onto the mats and begin their martial arts journey.

How You Can Help

If you’d like to contribute to the Guardian project but aren’t competing, you can still make a difference. We’ll be accepting donations throughout the event, and all funds raised will go towards providing scholarships for underprivileged youth. Every bit helps to bring the empowering lessons of Jiu Jitsu to those who need it most. Or you can donate here: https://givebutter.com/edh

Outside Jiu Jitsu at Folsom Aquatic Center

EDH Jiu Jitsu trained outside at the Folsom Aquatic Center at the Folsom Sea Otter swim-a-thon event on Monday. The outdoor training was a great way to break up the routine of training indoors and an exciting evening of drilling and rolling on the mat.

The event began at 6:30 with students from the juniors jiujitsu class practicing their submissions and eventually rolling. Following the Juniors class students from the adults jiujitsu class showed up to drill and roll.

The event finished at 9:00 and turned out to be a cool and fun evening outside next to the pool of swimmers! We sincerely appreciate the Folsom Sea Otters for having us join them on their swim-a-thon and looking forward to the next opportunity we have to join them!

Thanks to everyone who showed up early to set up and stayed after to clean up the mats!
