Aloha🤙🏽 I came to visit family from Las Vegas and train at Aliiance/Cobrinha 🥋 I learned that my nephews have been training here and love learning from Professor Elliot and Coach Danny ❤️ EDHJJ has also allowed me to bring my two girls on many occasions to train with their cousins and thought it was only fitting to drop in myself 😜 Professor Elliot and his team has cultivated a family friendly and conducive learning atmosphere for all ages 🙌🏽 The instruction engages students and focuses on sound techniques, but most of all, makes it enjoyable 👊🏽 The gym is very tidy which speaks volumes for those worried about cleanliness 😅 I highly recommend you stop in and see for yourself🫵🏽 You will quickly see how welcoming EDHJJ is and soak in the positive vibes. Oss🤜🏽🤛🏽

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.

I have been a member of the gym for close to three months now. I came from another gym and I have 9 years of BJJ experience, I am ranked at brown belt. I moved to EDH Jiu Jitsu because of the quality of instruction and the community that Eliot has built around the dojo is second to none in Sacramento. I travel from downtown Sacramento to El Dorado Hills to learn specifically from Eliot because of the strength of his technique and the character of the dojo. EDH BJJ has my highest possible recommendation.

Overview: High quality instruction Solid lineage Knowledgeable instructors Clean space Supportive environment, in depth curriculum! Eliot and the coaches he has selected are extremely talented and experienced (look Eliot up) and do an outstanding job helping students reach their goals, whether hobbyists, police and self defense practitioners, or preparing for competition. I've been going to EDHBJJ for a year and a half and the environment is supportive, fun, and challenging. The white belt curriculum that they utilize is also extremely in depth and ensures everyone gets a solid handle of the basic positions and techniques. The environment is diverse with men and women of different sizes, strengths, experience levels all focused on self betterment and happy to help others. Hope to see you here!
