Summer is here, and that means it’s time for a new season of training at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu! Starting Monday, May 12th, our youth no-gi Jiu Jitsu program officially kicks off for the summer months. All students in our Peewee (ages 4–6), Kids (ages 7–10), and Juniors (ages 11–17) programs will transition from gi to no-gi Jiu Jitsu through the end of the season.
Why No-Gi Jiu Jitsu for Kids?
No-gi Jiu Jitsu helps young athletes improve their speed, agility, and positional control. Training without the traditional gi encourages students to develop strong body mechanics, better grips using underhooks and clinches, and a more dynamic grappling style. This summer shift gives our students the opportunity to enhance their self-defense skills, mat awareness, and confidence in a new environment.
Whether your child is new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or a returning student, no-gi training provides valuable cross-training that complements their overall martial arts development.
What to Bring to No-Gi Class
Students should come prepared with:
- A rash guard (short or long sleeve)
- Athletic shorts (no zippers, pockets, or loose fabric)
If you’re looking for high-quality no-gi gear, stop by our shop to order what you need.
