Eliot Kelly, head instructor of El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, is always talking about applying the training on the mat in the day to day life off the mat. Professor Chad Robichaux of Gracie Barra Westcliffe has found a way to apply his fight on the mat in his day to day fight off the mat. When you think about what it means to pursue the life of an ultimate martial artist or pursuing martial arts excellence, it's important to know that you can find people who have figured out a way to do just that. EDH BJJ hosted Professor Chad Robichaux on March 6, 2013 for a seminar and several days of training sessions of before and after the seminar. When Chad returned from Afghanistan after serving in the Marines he was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, most commonly referred to as PTSD.
For Chad his martial arts training gave him the tools to help himself fight with the struggles he had to face as a civilian. Not only did he have to fight to overcome PTSD but also fight to stay with his family and stand up for what was truly important to him.
