As a way to celebrate his blue belt promotion, raise awareness, and give back to the community, Ryan is hosting a great event for everyone interested in learning about self defense. Below are the details:

———————

I am putting on a self-defense workshop at El Dorado Hills BJJ on August 11, 2019.  The workshop will run from 10:00 to 11:00 Sunday morning.

Attendance is by donation only, with a suggested donation of $10.00. All proceeds from the workshop will be used to purchase school supplies for kids attending El Dorado County Charter School.

I think this community event serves dual purposes.  On its face, it will hopefully educate folks within the community on basic concepts that might help them physically defend themselves, but also teach them how to evaluate their surroundings and make safe/smart choices.  I don’t necessarily think that self-defense (physical or mental) is intuitive and I don’t feel that there are a lot of opportunities for our most at-risk community members to learn about how to protect themselves.

The proceeds will be used to further help our most at-risk community members by providing them with the tools necessary to aid them in their educational endeavors.  These are children from families who often cannot themselves afford to purchase school supplies.
