Congrats Olivia on the gray white belt promotion. Olivia came to jiujitsu with a great level of understanding how to control her body. This ability has given her a jump start to learning and understanding the technical movements on the mat. She is fierce in her competition and welcomes challenges. We are excited to see her further develop her jiujitsu senses and welcome additional challenges on and off the mat.

Congratulations to Joseph on his gray-white belt promotion! Joseph always displays a great attitude and outstanding manners whenever he is on the mat. He is attentive during lessons, intense with his sparring and is a fierce competitor. We’re excited to see his continued motivation at the next level of his Jiu-jitsu education!

Post from Chris:

I’ll be putting on a charity event for startreatments.org. Star Treatments is an amazing charity founded by Matt DiRito, the bass player for the rock band Pop Evil. What they do is provide VIP transportation for children fighting cancer as well as their family and friends. One of the big expenses that often doesn’t get talked about for these unfortunate families is the the time and money spent on going to and from treatment facilities. Star Treatments helps to alleviate some of these burdens by providing tour busses and drivers to these families to transport them. On top of that the children get the “Star Treatment”, receiving care packages from other bands. It may not sound like a big deal but it can be a very large burden lifted from parents and a big morale boost for kids struggling with something many of us couldn’t even imagine. Matt definately puts it into better words than I can so I encourage you to click the link and read all about them.

So what we’re going to do is create “Star Jars” to collect funds to donate to their cause. This will be an event that the children who attend the kids classes are highly encouraged to attend as well as their parents, anyone else who would like to participate are more than welcome as well. You’ll need to bring

A jar to decorate, anything from a mason jar to one of those cheetos puff jugs, so long as it’s cleaned out beforehand.

• Construction paper
• Tape
• Glue sticks

Any other craft materials you think would be fun, just avoid anything too messy like hot glue or glitter

I’ll be bringing some jars and other materials myself as well but they will be first come first serve basis. I will also be bringing several pairs of safety scissors as well to hopefully avoid accidentally cutting the mat.

We’ll meet at the gym on Sunday, September 22 at 11 AM. Together we’ll decorate our jars, have fun, and I’ll give a small speech about Star Treatments and their mission. After the event, everyone will take their star jars home and collect any spare change or cash you would like to donate and put in the jar. We’ll meet again on Sunday, October 27. Everyone will bring their jars and count up what they’ve collected and write it down. We’ll collect all of the amounts written down and add them up to find out how much we raised! Afterward I will give everyone the url for the Star Treatments donation page and everyone can donate the money they collected. Everyone who attends the first event, I will have a sign in sheet for you to write down a number or email you would like me to use to contact you and remind you of the second event. Let’s all come together to help out a great cause and I look forward to seeing you!

Gray White Belt Promotion tonight!

Colin doesn’t need to say much because he actions speak for themselves. He brings a focused spirit to class to learn and improve. In doing so, the people around him follow. This is leadership.

Colin shares the mat with his father and older brother at The Hills, and motivate one another to train. It’s great to see them all on the mat at once on occasions!

This was an event led by one of our students Jamie. She is currently a purple belt and is an avid leader in community events and projects, always looking for opportunities to volunteer her time and energy.

Thank you to everyone who came out today and supported our event, to benefit Troy Goodsell’s family! Thank you Michael Fong Yoga for leading an awesome yoga session, and to Professor Kiet Se for teaching some grip fighting and a Judo throw! You both are very appreciated!

Many of you know that the Sacramento Jiu-jitsu community lost a student and friend, Troy Goodsell to a hard battle against cancer. Troy was an inspiration to everyone. One thing I love about Jiu-jitsu is how supportive the communities are towards each other. Thank you EDH Jiu Jitsu for welcoming this event at the dojo.

Profits of the event today was donated to the Goodsell family.

Thank you again to everyone for your kindness and support!

Yellow Black Belt Belt Promotion for Slater the creator of “the nacho.”

Slater moved to EDH from the islands of Hawaii and came with a great level of experience in training and competition.

As he enters high school it’s fun to see him take on more responsibility, mentor his peers, and train with his father and other adults at the dojo.

Slater is stubborn…. He refuses to give up, he will fight and fight to get his way. Sometimes his stubborn nature gets him in a pickle, but he knows it and understands it as a strength and weakness.

Slater is genuine. Always ready to help the new or younger student. His kindness to help others has only grown with his personality.

We’re excited to see him continue to grow both on and off the mat!
