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.

Coach Eliot Kelly is awesome. He has been working with my son for almost 2 years. It's a great environment for learning BJJ mixed with just enough fun to keep the kids engaged.

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.

I joined EDH BJJ around 6 months ago and I was the first type of martial arts I had tried. I was very nervous about training and how the process worked. I actually fell in love with BJJ. This school exceeded all of my expectations. The coaching is world class with Elliot Kelly (ranked one of the best in the world) and the other coaches providing the best training out there. The atmosphere is inviting, friendly and fun. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is just starting out or very experienced with the sport already.
