On October 1st, El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu celebrated a significant milestone in the journey of one of its dedicated members—Jon Chan. After 15 years of hard work, perseverance, and dedication to the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Jon was officially promoted to black belt. This achievement not only marks a personal triumph for Jon but also reflects the values of discipline, resilience, and growth that our gym strives to instill in each of its members.
A Journey of Hard Work and Dedication
Jon’s promotion to black belt represents a journey that began years ago with a white belt and a dream. Like many, Jon started at the bottom, learning the fundamentals, honing his technique, and pushing through challenges along the way. His commitment to improvement and his consistent presence on the mats have been an inspiration to everyone at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu. As a competitor and a leader, Jon exemplifies the tenets of martial arts and has become a role model for students of all levels.
In addition to his promotion, Jon taught his first black belt seminar, sharing some of his favorite techniques and concepts that helped him reach this level. Students were treated to insights from Jon’s experience as both a competitor and a technician. His seminar offered an opportunity for everyone in the room to learn from someone who has walked the path from white to black, with countless hours of training and a deep passion for the art.
A Family Moment: Promoting Logan to Blue Belt
In what made the day even more special, Jon had the honor of promoting his son, Logan, to blue belt. Watching Logan’s own growth in the sport has been a joy for the entire gym. Father and son have trained side by side for years, pushing each other to improve and sharing countless hours on the mats. To see Jon, now a black belt, present Logan with his blue belt was a touching moment for everyone in attendance. It was not just the celebration of one promotion but the continuation of a family legacy in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
As Jon shared, “There’s nothing more meaningful than being able to pass on what I’ve learned to the next generation. To promote Logan to blue belt on the day I received my black belt is an experience I’ll never forget.”
Looking Ahead
Jon’s black belt is a testament to his perseverance, dedication, and passion for Jiu Jitsu. At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we are incredibly proud of Jon and look forward to seeing him continue to grow as both a martial artist and a coach. His seminar marked the beginning of a new chapter in his journey, and we are excited to see where it takes him and his family.
Congratulations, Jon, on your black belt and Logan on your blue belt—both incredible achievements that reflect the strength and unity of our Jiu Jitsu family!
