Jiu-Jitsu event begins
FROM OUR ABU DHABI BUREAU
THE Asian Jiu-Jitsu Super Cup championship got underway on Friday at the UAE Wrestling, Judo and Jiu-Jitsu Federation hall in Abu Dhabi.
It has drawn 175 fighters from 25 countries.
The two-day, event is being held under the patronage of Sheikh Zayed Bin Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the chairman of the competition is Lt Gen. Mohamed Hilal Al Kaabi, with Brazilian Carlos Santos as the event-organiser. The event is another chance for international and Emirates jiu-jitsu fighters to prepare themselves for the biggest Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu event ever -the World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Cup 2010 -- that is also organized by Carlos Santos and approved by Federation International Jiu-Jitsu Association.
Three-time world champion Santos who has been in Abu Dhabi for the last eight years said Jiu Jitu has gained momentum and there are many Jiu-Jitsu enthusiasts in this part of the world. "It has been a year of great achievements for Jiu Jitsu in the emirate. The martial art is being taught from school level. "The 'school jitsu project', which now comprises 42 schools and 14,000 children, are undergoing Jiu-Jitsu training in Abu Dhabi. The capital has arguably established itself as the capital of professional Jiu-Jitsu with the inaugural Mundial Pro being a huge success and the 2010 trials have already begun," said Santos who is also the head coach of the Emirates Team.

Abdulrahman bin Mohammed Al Owais - Minister of Culture, Youth, and Community Development and President of the General Authority of Youth and Sports Welfare - amending the name of the UAE Wrestling and Judo Federation to become the UAE Wrestling, Judo, and Jiu-Jitsu Federation in accordance to the Federation's letter dated 29/1, which specified the inclusion of Jiu-Jitsu from Higher Authorities to take care of the sport that saw the light in Abu Dhabi in 1998 with the support and attention directly from its founder, H.H. Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Godfather of Emirates Jiu-Jitsu.
The sport's base has expanded ever since at the state level, with the support of His Highness, the attention of the the Armed Forces Officers Club in Abu Dhabi and direct follow-up of Lieutenant-General (R) Mohammed Hilal Al Kaabi - Club Chairman, and the efforts of world-renowned Brazilian Coach Carlos Santos as the sport continues to boom and interest rises under the the umbrella of the Federation's Council, which unanimously welcomed the inclusion of the sport so it can get more attention and care in preparation to host the World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Cup next May in the United Arab Emirates Capital, Abu Dhabi and reflect the bright side of Jiu-Jitsu in the U.A.E., which has achieved many accomplishments at local, regional, and International levels and requires maintaning the good reputation that have been made during the last period in support of the individual sports, which also gets all the support from the leadership.
The upcoming World Cup will be the real start with the birth of the training centers around the country, especially student centers, which saw the light recently with the support from the Ministry of Education and the Abu Dhabi Education Council under the Emirate of Abu Dhabi with a view to sustain the activity in coordination with all parties to create a broad-based development with opportunities for refinement and friction for all training centers, with the ultimate goal of bolstering the national teams after the elite group of players have benefited from periods of training to learn the basics of the game, which guages the success of the sport so far between school students who represent the starting point to a bright future in Emirates Jiu-Jitsu with its new look.

EMIRATES TEAM WIN:
Sheikh Tahnoon’s supported boy debuts in MMA with quick win
For more than ten years GRACIEMAG has been following Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed’s passion for Jiu-Jitsu.
His passion for the gentle art is so intense that it bore gigantic fruits like the ADCC and infected his brother, Prince of Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mohamad Bin Zayed – the one to provide the greatest incentive for Jiu-Jitsu projects in schools in the Emirates and professionalization of the sport through the Abu Dhabi Pro tournament.
Over the past ten years Tahnoon has provided his adoptive sons, then just kids who are now grown up in the army, with an intense training routine. These youths have conquered several medals in important tournaments from Japan to the USA. But, there was still one challenge left for the boys.
And it was on the evening of Saturday, the 28th, in Holland, at the Showtime MMA Gala event, that Hassan Alrumaithi, one of those adoptive sons of Tahnoon’s, needed exactly 28 seconds to sink a triangle on Dennis de Jong, Melvin Manhoef’s training partner, and prove that Tahnoon presented his country with the most effective fighting style invented by man.

Carioca ensina o esporte à família real e estudantes de emirado árabe
POR JOÃO RICARDO GONÇALVES
Abu Dhabi (Emirados Árabes) - Parece história das ‘Mil e uma noites’, mas não é: um carioca levou o jiu-jítsu para a realeza de um dos países mais ricos do Oriente Médio. Carlos Santos, 33 anos, conhecido como Carlão entre os lutadores, e sua equipe não só dão aulas da arte marcial para o filho do príncipe herdeiro de Abu Dhabi, capital dos Emirados Árabes, como implantam o esporte em aulas de Educação Física de 42 colégios públicos da região.
