Jiu Jitsu students in El Dorado Hills take on summer research projects to keep their skills sharp during the summer months.
The main skills we focus on during the summer are the following:
- Researching
- Writing
- Public Speaking
In addition to the three skills mentioned above, the projects also emphasize:
- Creative Expression
- Teamwork
- Leadership
- Anti-Bullying Awareness
These are skills that will last a lifetime as the student matures during the summer months. Here is a video of the first summer project to get the students started. The topic was to find, research, write a presentation, and give a presentation on a 2015 Jiu Jitsu Pan American Champion or World Champion.
In this video El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu student, Alex, gave a presentation on the 2015 Pan American Champion, Alexander Trans. Alex, age 14, wrote an impressive narrative documenting how Alexander Trans got started in Jiu-Jitsu, found out information on his coaches, training and competition philosophy, and the mindset of being a champion.
Every week or every other week, depending on the depth and time of the project, students will be assigned a new topic to think about and share with their peers and the adults class (age 14+) or kids class (age 5-9).
