Starting BJJ as an Adult: The 6am Class at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu

Taking up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) as an adult can seem intimidating, but for many, it’s the beginning of a rewarding and transformative journey. At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, our 6am class offers a unique opportunity for adults of all levels—whether you’re completely new to martial arts or looking to rekindle your competitive spirit.

Why Choose the 6am Class?

The 6am class is designed for those who want to start their day with purpose and discipline. Many of our students are working professionals, parents, or busy individuals who need to fit training into their packed schedules. This early morning class offers the perfect solution, providing an environment where adults can focus on their personal growth before the rest of the day unfolds.

People from across the greater El Dorado County region, including cities like Folsom, Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, and Placerville, gather early in the morning to attend our 6am class at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu. This dedicated group of individuals travels from various areas to start their day with purpose, discipline, and the shared goal of improving their Jiu Jitsu skills. The camaraderie built within this community extends beyond the mats, as people from different cities come together to challenge themselves, learn, and grow in a supportive environment.

What to Expect in the 6am Class

Our 6am class runs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It’s open to all levels, so whether you’ve never put on a gi before or you’re a seasoned grappler, you’ll find a welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Each session focuses on key techniques, drilling, and live rolling, tailored to meet your skill level. We often work on fundamental positions like escapes, guard passes, and submissions, ensuring you build a strong foundation from day one.

What sets this class apart is the camaraderie. We have members driving from different cities in El Dorado County to make these sessions, forming a tight-knit group that supports each other on and off the mats.

Starting as an Adult: Embracing the Journey

Beginning BJJ as an adult can feel like stepping into the unknown. You’re learning a new skill, challenging your body in new ways, and stepping outside your comfort zone. But that’s where the magic happens. With every class, you’ll feel your body getting stronger, your mind getting sharper, and your confidence growing.

The 6am crew embodies the mindset of kaizen—constant improvement. We don’t focus on where you are today, but on where you’ll be six months from now, a year from now. BJJ is a journey that rewards consistency, and the early morning class is the perfect place to develop that habit.
