El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was in attendance for another great public demonstration of jiujitsu at the CSU Sacramento Japan Day event.
This is one of the biggest student organized events on campus featuring the Japan Club and activities related to Japanese language and culture.
The BJJ demo showed the many different aspects of jiujitsu, athleticism, art, performance, choreography, technique, discipline, leverage, and more. Each performance was choreographed by the students with little to no input from a coach. The students were challenged to take on the performance to showcase their knowledge of jiujitsu and at the same time help others understand what it means to do jiujitsu. Some emphasized the self defense aspect of the art while other emphasized the sport and exciting movements to captivate the audience. It was also an opportunity to talk about the migration of jiujitsu from Japan, Brazil, and now all over the world. A fitting demonstration sponsored by the department of world languages and literatures at CSU Sacramento.
