El Dorado Hills Grappling and Martial Arts Teaches Leadership

     While seeing our kids class grow from only a few students to almost 30 active students, I'm reminded of how special it is to be able to train and make an impact on our youth. Jiu Jitsu has taught me so much about myself and helps me stay centered with other areas of my daily life. At El Dorado Hills Grappling and Martial Arts, we focus not just on becoming the best on the mat but also on applying those lessons in our daily life.

     As of late, I've become more and more excited and enthusiastic about teaching and working with the younger kids. Seeing them soak up the material from each lesson like a sponge and seeing them walk with confidence, respect, and humility gives me so much joy. These changes don't happen overnight. They take time and consistency. A mutual effort to teach these lessons by the instructors, coaches, and parents have made a significant impact on the effectiveness of our martial arts program in El Dorado Hills.
     As we surround ourselves with a community of people who work very hard to make a difference on a daily basis, some of our youngest students have taken it upon themselves to help the newer, younger students. This is the ultimate form of leadership as kids instinctively assume responsibility to help and nurture those who are new to martial arts in El Dorado Hills, CA. However, it is not something that just happens, it is the result of a group of leaders, a team of people wanting to make an impact on the future of our community and country. I feel very fortunate to be able to be apart of this community to help make a difference in each one of our student's lives.
