Our Hybrid Grappling Program: Combining wrestling with jiujitsu

Are you looking for an effective way to sharpen your grappling skills? At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, our No-Gi Jiu Jitsu program blends traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with wrestling techniques, giving you the perfect mix of control, takedowns, and submission mastery.

  • Submissions – Learn how to attack and defend in fast-paced scrambles, a key skill in nogi jiujitsu.

Who Is This Program For?

  • Beginners – No-Gi is an excellent starting point if you’re new to grappling or coming from a wrestling background.
  • Wrestlers Transitioning to Jiu Jitsu – If you have a wrestling background, our program will help you apply those skills effectively in submission grappling.
  • Jiujitsu Practitioners – Many of the best competitors in Jiu Jitsu excel because they chose to develop their wrestling foundation.

Pro Practice at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu: Training

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, our pro practice sessions are where high-level athletes sharpen their skills alongside some of the best in the game. These invite-only sessions bring together professional MMA fighters, active Jiu Jitsu competitors, and elite grapplers for an intense, competition-focused training environment.

What Makes Pro Practice Special?

Unlike regular classes, these sessions are designed for high-level performance and fight preparation. The intensity is higher, the rounds are longer, and the training partners are experienced competitors. This is where strategy meets execution, and every round is an opportunity to test yourself against some of the toughest athletes in the region.

Our pro practices focus on:

✅ Wrestling for MMA and Jiu Jitsu – Sharpening takedowns, transitions, and positional dominance.

✅ Submission Grappling – High-paced rounds that emphasize efficiency under pressure.

✅ Live Situational Drilling – Training specific scenarios that mimic grappling situations in fights and high-level matches.

✅ Fight Simulation – Rounds structured to push each other through the mental and physical challenges of competition.

Training as Professionals

Our mats have hosted UFC fighters, world-class wrestlers, and IBJJF medalists, all pushing each other to new levels. Whether preparing for an MMA fight, a Jiu Jitsu competition , or a major tournament, this room is where competitors refine their craft in an elite training environment.

Our pro practice sessions are known for their high intensity, pushing each athlete to their limits in a competition-focused environment. However, what separates elite training from reckless sparring is the high level of control that every participant must maintain. While the pace is fast and the rounds are demanding, there’s a shared understanding that training partners are not opponents—they are teammates helping each other improve. Precision, technical awareness, and mutual respect are key, ensuring that even in the most intense exchanges, athletes remain mindful of safety. This balance between intensity and control allows for maximum growth with minimal risk of injury, keeping fighters and competitors healthy, sharp, and ready for their next challenge.

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we are committed to building champions—on and off the mat. Whether you’re chasing gold in Jiu Jitsu or stepping into the cage for an MMA fight, our pro practice is where you refine your skills, test your limits, and prepare to win.
