At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe in more than just teaching martial arts—we aim to instill confidence, resilience, and character in every child who steps onto our mats. Our youth program is thoughtfully designed to empower kids, fostering not only physical fitness but also critical life skills like discipline, teamwork, and self-respect. Whether you live in Cameron Park, Folsom Ranch, or right here in El Dorado Hills, our program is a welcoming space for children of all backgrounds and experience levels.
Why Choose Jiu Jitsu for Your Child?
Jiu Jitsu is often called the “gentle art” because it emphasizes technique, leverage, and problem-solving over brute strength. It’s a fantastic way for children to develop physical and mental agility while having fun in a safe, supportive environment. Beyond the techniques, students learn to:
• Build Self-Confidence: Overcoming challenges on the mat translates to real-world confidence.
• Practice Self-Control: Our structured classes teach focus and patience, crucial skills for school and beyond.
• Develop Resilience: Kids learn how to fail gracefully, get back up, and try again—a valuable lesson for life.
Program Highlights
Our youth program is tailored to meet the developmental needs of three age groups:
1. Peewees (Ages 4–7): Classes focus on basic motor skills, playful drills, and building comfort with movement.
2. Kids (Ages 7–10): Students begin learning foundational Jiu Jitsu techniques while reinforcing teamwork and respect.
3. Juniors (Ages 11–17): Advanced training prepares young grapplers for competitions and life’s challenges.
Each class incorporates our monthly “Mat Chat,” where we discuss key life skills such as integrity, humility, and bravery. These conversations tie martial arts training to everyday situations, helping our students grow into well-rounded individuals.
