Dear EDH Jiujitsu Team,

We are just coming off a tournament weekend at the NoGi Worlds. Unfortunately we didn't bring back any medalists this year. However, Eliot had an impressive win in the absolute division to multiple world champion, Roberto Alancar, and brought back some valuable experience after a 2-0 loss to Metamoris veteran Gary Tonnon and 2-0 loss to ADCC Champion Joao Assis.

There are several tournaments coming up this month. Make sure to check in with your coach on the details.

TACTICAL MOVEMENT WORKSHOP

This Sunday, EDH JiuJitsu will be hosting a Tactical Movement Workshop for those in law enforcement. After about a year of curriculum planning, the two hour workshop will touch on basic movements and positions helpful to all law enforcement. Please share if you have a family or friend in law enforcement who might be interested. Thank you!

Every visiting instructor and seminar at EDH is our effort to bring in talent from every corner of the world to give our students in El Dorado Hills the best experience on and off the mats! Professor Steve is not only a instructor but also an elite level competitor. We hope you were able to train with him or learn from him during his visit!
