My 4 year old grand son, Alex completed the introductory class. He was thrilled. Mr. Kelly and the other instructors were very kind and patient. I look forward to Alex continuing to train at EH BJJ.

Great community of people at EDHBJJ. They are welcoming to new people and do a great job with the kids classes. If you are looking for high level competition or just want to add some skills to the belt and get a sweat, this is the gym.

When I first started looking around for a place to learn jiu jitsu, I wanted to find a gym where I could learn and train hard without worrying about getting hurt or training in an atmosphere of machismo. I found what I was looking for at El Dorado Hills BJJ.

The culture is welcoming and encouraging, while the curriculum and training is designed to turn you into a proficient BJJ practitioner. There are comprehensive classes for kids, hobbyists and folks interested in competition. I've been training now at EDH BJJ for 8 years and couldn't imagine going to another gym. My wife and daughter now also train here. I would highly recommend El Dorado Hill Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!!

Had a great session at EDH BJJ. Traveling up here for work from SoCal and they allowed me to do a drop-in. Awesome people, good structure to the class and strong technique focus.
