Under the patronage of H.H SHEIKH MOHAMMAD BIN ZAYED AL NAHYAN and
H.H. SHEIKH ZAYED BIN MOHAMMAD BIN ZAYED AL NAHYAN, CHAIRMAN OF SCHOOL-JITSU PROJECT

27 of September 2009 been a big day for the history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not only in the UAE, but all over the world!
It was the beginning of the school year in public schools in the UAE (ADEC-ABU DHABI EDUCATION COUNCIL). This is the second year of the project School-Jitsu, where students in grades 6 and 7, from 9 to 12 years old, have their school curriculum grades changed. Instead of having Physical Education classes, they will be learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Last year this project covered 14 schools. Now it has tripled for 42 schools, including 6 female schools, that totalize approximately twenty thousand students (around two thousand girls) training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

The project manager and Head Coach of the Emirates Jiu-Jitsu National Team, Mr. Carlos Santos say that today is the marc of the introduction of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as the National Sport of the UAE, as he is very close to the main objective - to found a good base, training kids in the schools and make inter-school’s tournaments in order to develop the interest of the locals for the sport. And in the future we will be able to have a solid and stronger national team in all categories of the sport.

Jiu-Jitsu students develop a deep understanding of the mechanics of the human skeletal and muscular systems, so they are able to subdue an attacker, causing him no injuries. Acquiring these skills is not easy, and requires mental and physical effort from the student. The rewards however are great, and include massive improvements in strength, flexibility. Social skills as respect, discipline and common sense are improved as a result of interacting with individuals and the group as a whole.

Next month, the project will organize the regional championships, separating schools from Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Western Region in April will be organized a national championship by teams, where each school will take 5 representatives and two weeks after will be the big national championship, where we will know the best mirim athletes in jiu jitsu the country.

March 7th - Abu Dhabi Zone Jiu Jitsu School Cup
March 11th - Wester Zone Jiu Jitsu School Cup
March 14th - Al Ain Zone Jiu Jitsu School Cup
April 8th - Jiu Jitsu School Cup by Teams
April 26th - National Jiu Jitsu School Cup
