Why Teenagers Should Train Jiu Jitsu: More Than Just Physical Training, It’s Education

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe that training isn’t just about mastering techniques—it’s about shaping the entire person. For teenagers, this training becomes a form of physical education that goes far beyond learning how to grapple or defend oneself. Jiu Jitsu teaches essential life skills that foster personal growth, both on and off the mat.

Building Discipline and Focus

Training in Jiu Jitsu requires a high level of discipline. It’s not just about showing up to class, but about consistently working on improvement, setting goals, and pushing past mental barriers. For teens, learning this kind of discipline can translate into their academic and personal lives, giving them the tools to stay focused and manage their time effectively.

Developing Problem-Solving Skills

Every roll in Jiu Jitsu presents a new problem to solve. How can I pass my opponent’s guard? How do I escape a difficult position? Teenagers learn to approach challenges methodically and keep a calm, solution-oriented mindset. This kind of critical thinking is not just valuable in sports but also in navigating life’s obstacles, from exams to peer pressure.

Emotional and Mental Resilience

Jiu Jitsu is hard—both physically and mentally. Teenagers are taught how to handle losses, frustrations, and setbacks, which are natural parts of training. By learning to deal with the emotional ups and downs that come with Jiu Jitsu, they build resilience and grit. Over time, this makes them more capable of handling stress and adversity outside of the gym, whether it’s in school, relationships, or other aspects of their lives.

Physical Fitness and Health Education

Jiu Jitsu provides teenagers with a full-body workout that builds strength, flexibility, and endurance. More importantly, it teaches them about their bodies, helping them understand movement, nutrition, and injury prevention. Rather than viewing fitness as a chore, they begin to see it as a lifelong practice tied to their overall well-being.

Respect, Humility, and Community

Training at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu is about more than individual performance—it’s about being part of a team. Teenagers learn the importance of respecting their training partners and instructors. The camaraderie that develops through hard training fosters humility, as even the best practitioners will have days when they struggle. This environment helps teenagers build meaningful relationships, while understanding the importance of respect and support in a healthy community.

Real-World Self-Defense and Confidence

Of course, one of the most practical benefits is that Jiu Jitsu gives teenagers the ability to defend themselves. The confidence that comes from knowing how to handle real-world situations—whether it’s through actual self-defense techniques or simply learning how to remain calm in stressful situations—can be life-changing.

More Than Just a Sport

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we view training for teenagers as a form of education that teaches valuable life lessons. It’s more than just learning moves; it’s a way to develop mentally, emotionally, and physically. For teens, this can be an essential part of growing up—teaching them how to handle challenges, take care of their bodies, and become better individuals.

If you have a teenager looking for more than just a physical activity, consider Jiu Jitsu. It’s a path to personal growth that extends far beyond the mats.

Anthony Hernandez Shines in Main Event Victory with Eliot from El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu in His Corner

El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu is celebrating an incredible achievement with Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez, who has trained with our coach Eliot Kelly, secured a dominant victory in his UFC main event. This win represents the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to improvement.

Anthony’s performance in the Octagon showcased not only his grit and heart but also his technical mastery. His striking and ground game were on full display, but perhaps the most impressive aspect was his ability to stay calm under pressure—something that’s been a cornerstone of his training.

Coach Eliot has been a part of Anthony’s journey since 2021, helping to refine his Jiu Jitsu skills and prepare him for the top levels of competition. As a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a respected coach with a wealth of grappling knowledge, Eliot’s guidance has made a contribution to Anthony’s success in the cage. Whether it’s drilling submissions, refining transitions, or developing fight strategy, Anthony is a constant student of the sport.

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe in building not only strong competitors but also strong individuals. Anthony’s victory is a testament to the perseverance, discipline, and dedication that martial arts instills in its practitioners. We are incredibly proud to have been part of his journey, and we look forward to seeing even more success in his future.

For anyone inspired by Anthony’s win, remember that the path to success starts right here on the mats. Join us at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, whether you’re looking to compete or just improve your fitness, discipline, and mental strength, we’re here to help you on your journey.

Congratulations to Anthony Hernandez on this amazing accomplishment! The entire El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu community is behind you as you continue to make waves in the martial arts world.

The Importance of Consistency in Jiu Jitsu Training: 2-3 Days a Week on Average

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, one of the keys to long-term success on the mats is simple but powerful: consistency. Whether you’re a beginner just learning the basics or a seasoned practitioner fine-tuning advanced techniques, showing up regularly is essential to improvement. While life can be busy with work, family, and other responsibilities, committing to training just 2-3 days a week can make a significant difference in your progress.

Building Muscle Memory and Technique

Jiu Jitsu is a highly technical martial art that requires repetition to master the various movements, transitions, and submissions. Training 2-3 times per week allows you to build the muscle memory needed to react fluidly in live situations. With consistent practice, techniques begin to feel more natural, and your body learns how to instinctively respond to different positions.

Avoiding Burnout and Overtraining

Some students, especially early on, may feel the urge to train every day, thinking more equals better. However, overtraining can lead to burnout or injuries, slowing your progress in the long run. By sticking to a schedule of 2-3 days per week, you’re giving your body enough time to recover while still maintaining the regularity needed to improve.

Steady Improvement Without Overwhelm

Training Jiu Jitsu consistently, even if only a few times per week, allows you to gradually build on what you’ve learned without feeling overwhelmed. Each class reinforces the previous one, and over time, you’ll notice that techniques that once seemed difficult begin to click. This steady, incremental improvement is the key to long-term growth in Jiu Jitsu.

Consistency Over Perfection

It’s easy to feel frustrated when you don’t feel “perfect” in a particular move or technique, but it’s important to remember that consistency is more important than perfection. Every time you step on the mat, you’re learning, whether you’re winning or losing in sparring. Even on days when things don’t go your way, showing up is half the battle.

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we encourage our students to adopt a sustainable approach to training. Coming to class 2-3 times a week, week after week, builds discipline, improves skills, and fosters a lifelong love for the art. Keep showing up, stay consistent, and the progress will follow.

The Reality of Competition and Learning Healthy Competitiveness Through Jiu Jitsu

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we often see new students come in with mixed feelings about competition. Some are excited by the challenge, while others feel a sense of pressure or anxiety. It’s easy to fall into the trap of seeing competition as a win-or-lose scenario, where victory means everything and defeat feels like a failure. However, Jiu Jitsu teaches us that competition is far more complex—and, when approached correctly, it can become a tool for personal growth and learning how to be competitive in a healthy, sustainable way.

Facing the Reality of Competition

The reality of competition in Jiu Jitsu is that you won’t always win. Even at the highest levels, athletes experience losses. It’s part of the game. But that doesn’t mean failure. Instead, each match—win or lose—is an opportunity to learn more about your technique, mindset, and approach. Whether you’re competing in a small in-house tournament like our Ruckus in the Hills or stepping onto the mat at the IBJJF Nationals, you will always face moments that test your patience, composure, and skill.

What Jiu Jitsu reveals is that success isn’t just defined by standing on the podium but by the progress made on the journey. Every time you step on the mat, you have an opportunity to be better than you were before. Sometimes, the biggest gains come from facing the toughest losses.

Healthy Competition Starts on the Mat

The beauty of Jiu Jitsu is how it teaches you to be competitive in a healthy way. Training on the mat isn’t about dominating your opponent every round; it’s about improving yourself. You develop grit, learn how to handle pressure, and push beyond your limits without sacrificing respect for your training partners or yourself. The competitive environment in Jiu Jitsu fosters camaraderie—everyone is there to help each other get better.

Healthy competition in Jiu Jitsu means that you compete to improve, not to “beat” the other person. Your teammates are your biggest supporters, and together, you lift each other up. By sharpening each other’s skills, you develop a mindset that goes beyond a need to “win at all costs.”

Learning to Lose Gracefully

Jiu Jitsu teaches you that losing is inevitable, but how you handle it can make all the difference. In life, just like in Jiu Jitsu, setbacks happen. What matters is how you bounce back from them. After a tough loss, it’s important to reflect on what went wrong and how you can improve, rather than focusing on disappointment. This process builds resilience, confidence, and a sense of humility that goes far beyond the mat.

For example, one of our members, Jon Chan, faced numerous challenges on his journey to becoming a black belt, including moments where things didn’t go his way. But through perseverance, reflection, and dedication to improving his craft, he not only became one of our top competitors but a role model for what it means to embrace competition with a growth mindset.

Applying This Mindset Outside the Gym

One of the most important lessons Jiu Jitsu can teach is how to apply this healthy competitiveness to life outside of the gym. Whether it’s in your career, relationships, or personal projects, Jiu Jitsu instills a mindset that values progress over perfection, humility over arrogance, and resilience over short-term success. You learn to compete against yourself first and foremost, always striving to be the best version of you, rather than worrying about how you compare to others.

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe in fostering an environment where students, from our Peewees to our adults, learn how to handle competition in a way that builds them up rather than tears them down. It’s about developing mental toughness, discipline, and an appreciation for the journey, both on and off the mat.

In Jiu Jitsu, as in life, competition is inevitable. But the way you approach it can shape your experience. At our gym, we encourage students to view competition as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than just a way to measure success. With the right mindset, Jiu Jitsu can teach you how to be competitive in a healthy, sustainable way—one that helps you thrive both on the mat and in life.

Incorporating Judo and Wrestling into Our Jiu Jitsu Program

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we’re committed to offering a well-rounded grappling experience that goes beyond traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. By incorporating techniques from Judo and wrestling, we’re not only broadening our students’ skill sets but also enhancing their overall effectiveness on the mat. Both disciplines bring unique elements that complement and elevate Jiu Jitsu, providing our students with a more diverse and complete game.

Why Incorporate Judo?

Judo, with its emphasis on balance, leverage, and throws, offers key advantages in transitioning from standing to ground. Many Jiu Jitsu practitioners find themselves starting in positions where both opponents are standing, and Judo provides a structured, efficient way to take the fight to the ground while maintaining control. Classic techniques like hip throws (ogoshi) and sacrifice throws (hikikomi gaeshi) give our students the ability to execute dynamic takedowns with precision and power. By mastering these moves, students learn how to control the momentum of a match right from the start, gaining an edge in competition or self-defense situations.

Why Wrestling Matters

Wrestling’s contribution to our Jiu Jitsu program lies in its unparalleled focus on takedowns, control, and explosiveness. The application of single-leg and double-leg takedowns provides our students with efficient ways to bring their opponents to the mat without compromising their own base or stability. Wrestling also emphasizes positional dominance, which is a key concept in Jiu Jitsu—being able to control your opponent from top positions like side control or mount is crucial to setting up submissions.

Additionally, the grit and work ethic emphasized in wrestling help develop mental toughness, persistence, and the ability to scramble out of tough situations—all important traits for success in Jiu Jitsu.

The Integration at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu

At our gym, we have the unique advantage of having coaches with high-level experience in both Judo and wrestling. Barrett, a former Division 1 wrestler, leads our efforts to incorporate these powerful elements into our curriculum. His expertise in setups, chain wrestling, and transitions ensures that students not only learn the techniques but also understand how to apply them in live rolling situations. For those interested in Judo, we offer classes that explore essential throws and grips, connecting them directly to the Jiu Jitsu game, so students can apply these skills in real time.

We believe that by offering a mix of Judo, wrestling, and Jiu Jitsu, our students develop a more dynamic and adaptable style. Whether you’re competing in tournaments or training for personal development, this integration allows you to be comfortable standing or on the ground, increasing your chances of success in any grappling situation.

The incorporation of Judo and wrestling into our Jiu Jitsu program is about offering the best possible training environment. We want our students to be complete grapplers, capable of handling any position, whether standing or on the ground. By embracing these disciplines, we not only honor the roots of Jiu Jitsu but also push the boundaries of what’s possible in grappling.

If you’re ready to expand your game and learn how to seamlessly blend these powerful arts, join us at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu. Let’s take your training to the next level.

Is after 50 Too Old to Start Jiu Jitsu? Absolutely Not!

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we often get asked if there’s a class “for older adults,” especially from people in their 50s or beyond who are just starting out. And while we don’t have a specific class labeled for older adults, we have great news: you won’t need one! Out of the 100 or so adults training with us, only 5 are under 30. That means most of our students are in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, training and improving every day.

Jiu Jitsu is a lifelong art. It’s not about brute strength or being the fastest person in the room—it’s about technique, strategy, and patience. Our students, many of whom began their journey in their 40s and 50s, prove that age is no barrier to learning and enjoying the benefits of Jiu Jitsu. The community you’ll find at our school is supportive and understanding, and your training partners will work with you at a pace that suits your fitness and skill level.

If you’re worried about being too old to start, consider this: some of our members are in their 60s and thriving on the mats. Jiu Jitsu provides a fantastic way to stay active, build confidence, and develop self-defense skills—all while being part of a community of people with similar goals.

So, if you’re in your 50’s and wondering if there’s a place for you, the answer is a resounding yes. You’ll fit right in. There’s never a perfect age to start Jiu Jitsu—there’s only the perfect time: now!

Youth Classes Back in the Gi at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu – Plus Our Gi Swap and Teen Scholarship!

This month marks an exciting return to gi training for our youth classes at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu after a summer of nogi training. Students will now have the chance to build upon their nogi skills by adding the intricate techniques of gi training, where grips, fabric control, and different submissions come into play.

To ensure all of our students are ready for this transition, we’re hosting a Gi Swap. Here’s how it works:

  • Trade: Swap your old gi for one that fits better.
  • Leave One: Got an extra gi? Leave it for someone else to use.
  • Take One: If you need a gi, grab one for free from the swap pile.

This is a great way to make sure everyone has what they need, and it reinforces the sense of community we’re building at our gym.

Guardian El Dorado Hills Scholarship for Teens

We’re also proud to offer the Guardian El Dorado Hills scholarship, which provides financial assistance for teen students to train in Jiu Jitsu. This scholarship is part of our commitment to making martial arts accessible to all and helping teens benefit from the physical and mental growth that Jiu Jitsu fosters.

Adults Jiu Jitsu

Starting Jiu Jitsu After 30 and 40: A Journey of Growth and Resilience at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu

Starting Jiu Jitsu as an adult can feel intimidating, especially if you’re stepping on the mats for the first time after 30 or 40. You may wonder if your body can handle the intensity, if you’re too late to start, or how you’ll compare to younger training partners. The truth is, training Jiu Jitsu as an adult offers a unique and rewarding experience that can transform your physical health, mindset, and approach to life.

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we see countless members in their 30s, 40s, and beyond embracing the challenge of Jiu Jitsu and thriving. Here’s what makes this experience so special:

1. A New Beginning: It’s Never Too Late

Whether you’re 30 or 50, starting Jiu Jitsu introduces you to a journey of continuous learning. The beauty of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is that it’s more than just a sport—it’s an art form that promotes problem-solving and strategy, as well as physical conditioning. Age doesn’t limit your ability to pick up new skills or develop a deep understanding of technique. Many of our students say they feel like they’ve uncovered a hidden passion they wish they had found earlier, but also recognize that their maturity helps them appreciate it even more.

2. Physical Benefits: Strength, Mobility, and Longevity

One of the biggest concerns for adults starting Jiu Jitsu is the physical aspect. After 30 or 40, it’s common to notice changes in your body—whether that’s reduced flexibility, nagging injuries, or general wear and tear. However, Jiu Jitsu offers a low-impact way to improve strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. By focusing on leverage and technique, Jiu Jitsu teaches you to use your body more efficiently, which translates into better mobility and resilience in daily life. We have members who started with limited mobility but have seen tremendous improvements in their physical health over time.

3. Mental Growth: Patience, Problem-Solving, and Grit

One of the greatest gifts Jiu Jitsu gives to adults is the mental transformation. Life after 30 or 40 often brings its own set of stressors—careers, families, and responsibilities. On the mats, you’re challenged to stay present, think strategically, and adapt to changing situations. Whether you’re in a tough position or learning a new technique, Jiu Jitsu fosters patience and mental toughness. Every time you push through a difficult roll or master a new skill, you’re training your mind as much as your body.

4. Community and Camaraderie

At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, our adult classes are filled with students from diverse backgrounds and experiences. What unites us is the shared journey on the mats, regardless of age. Training with peers who understand the physical and mental demands of starting later in life creates a sense of camaraderie that’s hard to find elsewhere. Many of our members say they feel like they’ve joined a second family. The support and encouragement you receive from teammates, combined with the guidance of experienced coaches, makes the experience both rewarding and motivating.

5. Setting a Positive Example

For many adults, starting Jiu Jitsu is also about setting an example for their children or showing that personal growth doesn’t have an age limit. At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we often see parents training alongside their kids or inspiring younger members to persevere. It’s a powerful way to demonstrate resilience, discipline, and a commitment to self-improvement, no matter your age. Being a role model for the younger generation—whether it’s your own kids or other students in the gym—reinforces that the pursuit of excellence and learning is a lifelong journey. Your decision to step on the mat can have a ripple effect, inspiring those around you to embrace challenges and growth in their own lives.

6. Overcoming Challenges: It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint

Starting Jiu Jitsu later in life may come with certain challenges. Recovery times might be longer, and you may need to adjust your training intensity to avoid injury. However, the key is consistency and pacing yourself. Jiu Jitsu is a marathon, not a sprint, and progress will come steadily with dedication. At El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, our instructors understand these challenges and work with you to ensure a sustainable training regimen that helps you improve while respecting your body’s limits. The sense of accomplishment you feel with each small victory far outweighs the initial struggles, making the journey deeply fulfilling.

7. Rediscovering Yourself

Jiu Jitsu is a journey of self-discovery, regardless of age. As an adult, you come to the mats with life experiences that shape how you approach training. Over time, you learn to push through physical and mental barriers, building confidence and resilience. You may find yourself becoming more patient, focused, and adaptable, both on and off the mats. For many, Jiu Jitsu becomes not just a hobby but a path to personal growth, bringing new purpose and excitement to life after 30 and 40.

Join Us at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu

Starting Jiu Jitsu as an adult might seem daunting, but at El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu, we believe that age is no barrier to success.
