ASIAN SUPER CUP 2009 IN UAE ARAB NEWSPAPERS

Brazil beats Switzerland to win 2009 FIFA Beach Soccer
World Cup held in Dubai
Brazil took the cup for the fourth consecutive year





Dubai: Beach soccer giants Brazil have won the 2009 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup crown on Sunday.
Brazil retained its crown with a 10-5 victory over Switzerland in the final.

Brazil, which has now won its fourth consecutive world title, was a class apart despite a gutsy performance from the Swiss.

Buru, Betinho and Andre scored a brace each while Sidney, Benjamin, Bueno and Daniel Souza were also on the scoresheet. Dejan Stankovic, Mo Jaeggy, Michael Rodrigues, Stephan Meier and Angelo Schirinzi grabbed replied for the Swiss, who finished runners-up at the 2009 European Championships.

Brazil opened the scoring through Andre who beat Nico Jung in the Swiss goal with a superb overhead kick. Betinho doubled the lead with a long-range effort and Buru added a third a little later.

The Swiss pulled one back through skipper Jaeggy, but Brazil restored its three-goal lead before the first break when Souza poked the ball home three seconds from time. Luckless Switzerland had a goal ruled out as the ball appeared to have crossed the line after the sounding of the hooter.
Buru scored his second with a powerful shot from a distance and Brazil captain Benjamin made it 6-1 from a free-kick before Andre and Betinho collected their second goals before the break.

The third session witnessed end-to-end football with both sides on the attack. The Swiss were the first to find the net with Meier beating substitute goalkeeper Alessandro with a volley.

Brazil hit back when Sidney converted from the spot, but the Swiss scored their third goal with a shot by Rodrigues from 10 metres. Brazil keeper Alessandro was beaten a third time in the half when Schirinzi headed home following a neat build up with Leu.

Stankovic's header at the end following a corner rounded off the scoring for Switzerland, but Bueno's thunderbolt of a free-hit gave substitute Swiss goalie Valentin Jaeggy no chance.

Portugal skipper Madjer led from the front in the third-place play-off, scoring seven times as his side demolished Uruguay 14-7. It was a repeat performance for the Portuguese, who finished third last year in Marseille, France.

ABU DHABI JUDO GRAN PRIX:



Draw of the first Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi (UAE)2009.11.20

International Judo Federation
Yesterday, the draw of the first edition of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix took place at the Meridian Hotel, in the city center. Abu Dhabi which means "Father of the Gazelle" was chosen by IJF to be the host of one of its Grand Prix tournaments in 2009.
Under the supervision of IJF General Treasurer, Naser Al-Tameemi (UAE), the competition will concern a total of 126 fighters (87 men and 39 women).
Even if it would have been great to have more competitors concerned, the level of the tomorrow and the day after tomorrow competitions will be high. Great judo countries like Japan or France made the trip to come over here, allong the banks of the Persian Golf.
All the categories were validated and drawn properly yesterday evening. For that, a minimum of 3 competitors coming from 3 different countries is needed and that was the case.

Today, on Friday the 20th of November,
the schedule is as follows for Men under 60, 66 and 73kg
and for women under 48, 52, 57 and 63kg:
- 7:00 to 7:30 - official weigh-in
- 13:00 - beginning of the competitions
- 17:00 - opening ceremony
- 17:30 - finals

The new refereing rules will be applied for the third time during a senior event this year. The first time that those rules were presented to the judokas and to the public was in Paris, for the World Junior Championship late October, with the great success that is already well known. Those rules which are still under testing, until the end of 2009, after the Grand Slam in Tokyo, have been also tested recently, for the seniors, at the Samoa and Ulaanbaatar World Cups. Thus, for instance, no direct leg grab under the belt will be allowed and the score will remain valid under the Golden Score period, which will be 3 minutes long.
+++++++

Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to share US$ 200 thousand prize money
International Judo Federation
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which takes place on 20-21 November, in the United Arab Emirates, features 126 (87 male and 36 female) judoka from 36 nations. There will be a record prize money event: US$ 200.000.
Medalists will share exact the same ammount of money as in IJF Grand Slams, instead of the Grand Prix standard of US$ 100.000: in Abu Dhabi the podium offers US$ 150.000, being US$ 5.000 to the gold, US$ 3.000 for silver and US$ 1.500 for each of the 14 weight divisions.

Another US$ 50.000 were added to promote the beautiful judo. The judoka who wins the last three contests by ippon will be eligible to share US$ 20.000 (all the one who do this will share this prize) and US$ 30.000 will be given to the best ranked athlete in each category after the Grand Prix.

Top international judoka, incluiding world and Olympic champions, confirmed their participation such as world champion and world ranking leader Georgiy Zantaraya (UKR, 60kg), Ludwing Pasicher (AUT, 60kg, olympic and world medalist and 3rd in the WRL), Rishod Sobirov (UZB, 60kg, olympic medalist and 5th in the WRL), Dirk Van Tichelt (BEL, 73kg, world medalist and 2nd in the WRL), Flavio Canto (BRA, olympic medalist), Guillaume Elmont (NED, 81kg, world champion), Hesham Mesbah (EGY, 90, olympic and world medalist), Ramadan Darwish (EGY, 100kg, world medalist and 3rd in the WRL), Abdulo Tangriev (UZB, +100kg, olympic and world medalist), Ilse Heylen (BEL, 52kg, olympic medalist), Giulia Quintavale (ITA, 57kg, olympic champion), Gevrise Emane (FRA, 63kg, world medalist), Sabrina Filzmozer (AUT, world medalist), Anett Meszaros (HUN, 70kg, world medalist), Celine Lebrun (FRA, 78kg, world and olympic medalist and WRL leader), Esther San Miguel (78kg, ESP, world medalist) and Maryna Pryshchepa (UKR, 78kg, world medalist and 3rd in the WRL).

There are now more students practicing Jiu-Jitsu in Abu Dhabi schools than any other school system in the world and students are going to have the opportunity to choose what they want from Jiu-Jitsu - from the healthy part of the sport with discipline, life skills, and team work to a much more focused and dedicated approach that might lead to students becoming professional fighters and representing their country in international competitions. School-Jitsu does not have any kind of punches or kicks. It is about throw techniques, control and locks.
The School- Jitsu program is one of Abu Dhabi Education Council’s special projects and is sponsored by HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahayan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
Last year’s trial School Jitsu program took place in 14 schools across the emirate. Because of its success, the 2009/2010 program was expanded. Reacting to feedback given by students, the Jiu Jitsu team has developed more services that will make the program more exciting.
The differences from last year will be that extra after-school classes in each zone will be provided for talented students and will give students a chance to train together.

There will also be an increase in the number of school, inter-school, regions and inter-region competitions. Last year there were three competitions, but this year there will be more including those in the girls’ schools.

أبوظبي في 1 نوفمبر 2009. يعمل حالياً حوالي 80 مدرباً لرياضة الجيو-جيتسو في 42 مدرسة حكومية لطلبة الحلقة الثانية بغرض تقديم دروس تعليم هذه الرياضة لحوالي 20,000 طالب من طلبة الصف السادس والسابع والثامن.
وقد ازداد عدد الطلبة الذين يمارسون هذه الرياضة في مدارس أبوظبي مسجلةً بذلك المعدل الأعلى عالمياً من حيث عدد الطلبة المشاركين في هذه اللعبة، وسوف يصبح في إمكان الطلبة اختيار المهارات التي يريدون اكتسابها وتعلمها من هذه الرياضة بدءً من ممارسة التمارين الرياضية الصحية المنضبطة واكتساب المهارات الحياتية ومهارات العمل الجماعي وصولاً إلى احتراف هذه الرياضة وتمثيل الدولة في المسابقات الدولية كلاعبين محترفين. وتجدر الإشارة إلى أن برنامج رياضة الجيو-جيتسو المدرسي لا يتضمن اللكمات أو الركلات بل يتركز حول أساليب الإطاحة بالخصم والتحكم في حركته وتقييدها.
وجدير بالذكر إن برنامج الجيو-جيتسو المدرسي هو أحد المشاريع الخاصة التي ينفذها مجلس أبوظبي للتعليم برعاية كريمة من سمو الشيخ محمد بن زايد آل نهيان، ولي عهد أبوظبي ونائب القائد الأعلى للقوات المسلحة ورئيس مجلس أبوظبي للتعليم.
كان العام الدراسي الماضي قد شهد تجربة تقديم هذا البرنامج في 14 مدرسة بإمارة أبوظبي، ونظراً للنجاح الكبير الذي حققته هذه التجربة فسوف يشهد العام الدراسي الحالي 2009/2010 زيادة عدد المدارس المشمولة في البرنامج، وتم التخطيط لتقديم مزيد من الخدمات بناءً على الملاحظات التي أبداها الطلبة بهدف جعل البرنامج أكثر جاذبية وإفادة للطلبة المشاركين.
ومن بين الأنشطة التي أضيفت للبرنامج هذا العام تخصيص دروس إضافية للطلبة الموهوبين بعد انتهاء اليوم الدراسي في كل منطقة تعليمية بغرض تمكين هؤلاء الطلبة من التدرب معاً، إضافة إلى زيادة عدد المسابقات التي تقام بين الطلبة والتي بلغت ثلاث مسابقات في العام الماضي إلى عدد أكبر من المنافسات على مستوى المدرسة وبين المدارس المختلفة وأخرى على مستوى المنطقة وبين المناطق المختلفة، ويشمل ذلك أيضاً المسابقات الخاصة بمدارس البنات.

BJJ IN ARABIC:

قصة تاريخ رياضة جيو-جيتسو
مرحبا يا أطفال، سوف اروي لكم قصة تاريخية لطيفة حول انطلاقة رياضة جيو-جيتسو هذه الرياضة التي تعلمناها هنا في المدرسة.
تعني هذه الرياضة الفن النبيل، أو بمعنى آخر إنها فن الدفاع عن النفس تستنفذ بها القليل من الطاقة ولا تحتاج للقوة وهي تسمح للشخص الأصغر حجما و الأقل قوة بان يدافع عن نفسه ويهزم خصمه حتى لو كان أقوى واكبر من الناحية الجسدية.
في جيو-جيتسو نجد حالات السقوط والإصابات والالتواء وقبضات الخنق ونقاط الضغط والتثبيت والنهوض على القاعدة والتي تعتبر بمثابة الوضعية القتالية.
ويتم ممارسة جيو-جيتسو وقوفا أو على الأرض.
حسنا لكن الذي نود معرفته هو كيف بدأت جيو-جيتسو.
بدأت جيو-جيتسو منذ وقت طويل جدا في الهند حيث تمت ممارستها من قبل الرهبان البوذيين الذين انتابهم القلق حول الدفاع عن أنفسهم لأنهم كانوا يقومون برحلات طويلة سيرا على الأقدام والصلاة من اجل آلهتهم، وقد تعرضوا للسرقة باستمرار ولم يتمكنوا من حماية أنفسهم، وبهذه الطريقة طور الرهبان فنا يعتمد على مبادئ التوازن بين نظام المفاصل ومبدأ الروافع، دون الحاجة لاستخدام القوة أو السلاح التي تعتبر غير مسموح بها في ديانتهم.
وقد اعتبرت هذه الطريقة لزمن طويل بمثابة الوسيلة التي كانوا يباغتون بها مهاجميهم، ومع ظهور البوذية عَبَرَ الرهبان العديد من البلدان المختلفة ونشروا ديانتهم ومعتقدهم إلى أن وصلوا اليابان حيث تم تطوير جيو-جيتسو وذاع صيتها.
وقد سافر العديد من معلمي جيو- جيتسو منذ أواخر القرن التاسع عشر، إلى اليابان وقارات أخرى حيث كانوا يتكسبون رزقهم من التعليم والانضمام إلى حلبات الصراع حيث كانوا يواجهون منافسين آخرين من مدارس الفنون القتالية المختلفة.
المعلم ايساي ميدا كوما المعروف أيضا بكونت كوما كان واحدا منهم، فبعد السفر مع فريقه للقتال في بلدان عديدة في أوروبا وأمريكا، وصل إلى البرازيل عام 1915 وأقام في مدينة تدعى بيليم في ولاية بارا. وبعد عام التقى جاستياو جرايسي الذي ساعده على الاستقرار في هذه المدينة.
رزق جاستياو بثمانية أطفال هم خمسة صبية وثلاث فتيات وأصبح أحد مشجعي لعبة جيو-جيتسو فاصطحب ابنه البكر كارلوس ليتعلم جيو-جيتسو لدى كونت كوما. كان كارلوس صبيا ناحلا وضعيفا يبلغ من العمر 15 ربيعا، إلا أنه وجد في جيو-جيتسو وسيلة لإثبات الذات، حيث تمكن من فعل ما عجز رفاق جيله عن القيام به. وحين بلغ التاسعة عشر ذهب إلى ريو دي جانيرو مع عائلته ليصبح مقاتلا محترفا ومعلما لهذا الفن القتالي، وقد سافر في أنحاء البرازيل ليقدم الدروس يهزم خصومه الأقوى منه جسديا.
وفي العام 1925 عاد إلى ريو دي جانيرو وافتتح أول صالة له سميت صالة جرايسي للجيو-جيتسو. ومنذ ذلك التاريخ فقد استمر بنقل مهاراته وعلومه إلى إخوته وقام بتعديل وتحسين الفن ليتلاءم مع الجسد الهزيل الذي كان سمة مميزة في عائلته، كما علَّم أيضا فلسفته عن الحياة ومفاهيمه عن التغذية الطبيعية سيما وأن تناول الطعام بالشكل الأمثل يعتبر بمثابة أمر هام للغاية لمن يرغب في ممارسة جيو-جيتسو وقد حوّل نظام جرايسي للحمية، من جيو-جيتسو إلى رمز صحي. وبعد ذلك بسنوات، أصبح الفن القتالي الياباني يعرف باسم جيو-جيتسو البرازيلية وبدأ معلمو هذا الفن بتعليمه عبر العالم وكانت تلك الطريقة التي وصل بها المعلم كارلوس سانتوس إلى هنا في مدرستكم بحيث يمكنكم أن تصبحوا أصحاء أقوياء.
إليكم فيما يلي بعض النصائح لتحظوا بفائدة كاملة من دروس جيو-جيتسو :
- يتم غسل اليدين قبل دخول الحلبة.
- المحافظة على نظافة الرداء.
- يمنع دخول الحلبة والحذاء في القدم.
- يمنع الخروج من الحلبة حافي القدمين.
- المحافظة على نظافة وقصر أظافر اليدين والقدمين.
- احترام المعلمين والزملاء.
ولا ننسى تناول الطعام بالشكل الأمثل لان الطعام وقود جسمنا. مع تناول الخضار والفاكهة وشرب الكثير من الماء.
أتمنى أن تكونوا قد استمتعتم بهذه القصة وتذكروا أن جيو-جيتسو رياضة تمارس على بساط الحلبة مع الزملاء والمعلمين وليس الغرض منها تشجيع العنف.
أطيب الأمنيات لكم.
