Match Night: A Fun and Exciting Experience for Youth at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe that learning goes beyond drilling techniques. It’s about building confidence, testing skills, and fostering a love for the art of Jiu Jitsu. That’s why we host Match Night for our youth students once a month during class—a thrilling event where our young athletes get the chance to experience live matches in a supportive and fun environment.

What Is Match Night?

Match Night is an opportunity for our Peewee, Kids, and Junior students to put their skills to the test in a structured yet relaxed setting. Coaches create matchups based on size, age, and skill level to ensure fair and exciting rounds. These live matches help students gain valuable experience, develop mental toughness, and practice sportsmanship—all while having fun!

For many kids, Match Night feels like a mini-tournament, but without the pressure. Parents can cheer from the sidelines while their children showcase what they’ve learned. It’s not about winning or losing—it’s about growth, effort, and having the courage to step onto the mat.

Why Match Night Matters

1. Skill Development: Live matches help students apply their techniques under real-time pressure.

2. Confidence Building: Overcoming nerves and performing in front of others boosts self-esteem.

3. Sportsmanship: Kids learn how to handle wins and losses with grace and respect.

4. Collaborative learning: Match Night is a way for students and to connect, fostering a sense of teamwork to learn from one another.
