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

Under the organization of Claudio Franca, Renato Tavares, Marcos Vinicios and Event Director Alvaro Mansor, the West Coast World Pro BJJ Trials were a success. More than two hundred athletes fought for the opportunity to participate in the Abu Dhabi Pro BJJ event to be held in April in the United Arab Emirates.
Several high-energy match ups drew a crowd that filled the gymnasium. One of the most anticipated was between Clark Gracie and Reylan Gracie to decide the winner of the 83kg division. Clark didn't waste any time and pulled guard early, and within two minutes had swept to mount and gained a 6-0 lead. From there Clark continued his work to ensure the gold and his ticket to Abu Dhabi in April.
Participating in the debut of the women's divisions in Abu Dhabi Pro BJJ, purple belt Kiri Liao from Saulo Ribeiro suprised her competition and took home the gold for the white-black belt women's lightweight division.
But it's not over yet! Next weekend the United States will host a second trials to take place in Boca Raton, Florida. Renato Tavares and Helio Moreira are hosting the trials in Florida for the second time and are expecting a full house.
Athletes including Roberto Traven, Hillary Williams, Marcelo Salazar, and many others will compete for more spots in the Abu Dhabi Pro tournament. More information at www.nafafighters.com

WHITE & FERTITTA ON CNBC: SALE SPEEDS GROWTH
Tuesday, January 12, 2010 - by MMAWeekly.com Staff
UFC president Dana White and CEO Lorenzo Fertitta were on Tuesday's First on CNBC to talk about Tuesday's announcement that they had sold a 10-percent stake in the company.

They were clear in pointing out that they believe Flash Entertainment, a live entertainment company wholly owned by the Abu Dhabi government, will be an active partner, accelerating the UFC's efforts to expand in the Middle East and Asian markets, including China.
Despite earlier comments from White saying, "I’m gonna have a certain amount of time (with the UFC) and then my time will be done and I will have done my part. And then somebody else will carry it on after me," he assured everyone that he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Abu Dhabi firm buys 10% stake in UFC
Flash Entertainment deal aims to increase championship's value
Las Vegas: An Abu Dhabi-owned entertainment promotion company has bought a 10 per cent stake in the Ultimate Fighting Championship for an undisclosed sum.

UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta said that the deal with Flash Entertainment, a subsidiary owned by the emirate's government, was done to create increased value for UFC and help the mixed martial arts league expand in the Middle East and Asia.

Neither Fertitta nor Ossama Khoreibi, chairman of Flash, would estimate UFC's worth or say what Flash paid for the newly issued shares in Zuffa LLC, its parent company. Fertitta says terms of the deal are confidential.

Fertitta said he believes Flash — a promoter known for bringing high-profile concerts and other events to the Middle East — can accelerate UFC's growth there and in China, India and other countries.

Flash's new shares mean Fertitta's 45 per cent stake in Zuffa dropped to 40.5 per cent. His brother, Frank Fertitta III, owns the same amount.

Dana White, president of UFC, saw his stake go from 10 per cent to nine per cent after the deal. Fertitta would not say what would be done with the money Flash invested or whether it would stay in UFC.

Station Casinos Inc., where Frank Fertitta is chairman and CEO and Lorenzo Fertitta is vice chairman, has a pending bankruptcy case in Nevada that is separate from UFC.

Fertitta said day-to-day operations at UFC would not likely change.

Khoreibi said in an e-mail that its role will be to support UFC as it keeps growing. "The sport has incredible potential and the commercial opportunities were very obvious to us," Khoreibi said.

Self Confidence
For many children, self confidence doesn't come naturally. Confidence is developed over a period of time. As a child accomplishes new goals, his or her confidence level increases. Children become more self confident in Martial Arts because they progress at their own pace and are not compared to others.

Better Grades
Being a Martial Artist also means being a better student. Every child learns to follow directions, pay attention in class and participate in class activities. These skills help them to become better students.

Coordination
Martial Arts challenges the entire body, developing coordination, balance, agility and poise. These traits are often neglected and not fully developed in team sports.

Discipline
Martial Arts will help your child to discover that through self-discipline and perseverance he or she can accomplish almost anything.

Self Defense
Martial Arts teaches children to think instead of panic in potentially serious situations as well as how to react to threats from other kids. Your child will also be taught not to be a bully. For life threatening situations only, your child will learn practical self-defense.

The word "impossible" is not in leaders dictionaries. No matter how big the challenges, strong faith, determination and resolve will overcome them.
Impossivel nao existe no dicionario dos lideres !
