GRACIE BOOK :
'Gracie Jiu-Jitsu' launch a success
Fans and friends filled the bookstore to greet Helio Gracie
Surrounded by his sons Rolker, Royler and Rickson, Helio received the affection of his long-time friends, among them the doctor Pedro Valente, and patiently attended to, smiling throughout, each of those that braved the, on average, two hour wait in line for a chance to arrive at the table where the Master sat beside his son Rorion.
From the fight world, such well-known names as Roberto Gordo, Dede Pederneiras, Bebeo Duarte, Fabricio Morango and Leticia Ribeiro were present. Of the admirers and fans, the sheer number of people circulating in the bookstore was such that even ballpark estimates were unquantifiable.
After the marathon ended, Helio could once again be certain of how much he is adored, and the book "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu" since last night, in Rio de Janeiro, is already a best seller.

INSIDE UAE:
Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan
Following the establishment of the UAE on 2 December 1971, Sheikh Khalifa became deputy prime minister of the federal state under his father, who was president. In May 1976 he became deputy commander of the UAE armed forces. He also heads the Supreme Petroleum Council, which enjoys wide powers in energy matters.
Sheikh Khalifa is known for his interest in sports traditional to UAE, chiefly horse and camel racing. A building in the theology department at Lampeter is named after him, due to his being a benefactor. He is generally regarded as a pro-Western modernizer. Early in his term, in April 2005, he authorized a 15-25% salary increase for employees of the state.
On 1 December 2005 the President announced that half of the members of the Federal National Council, the closest body the country has to a parliament, will be indirectly elected. However half of the council's members will still need to be appointed by the leaders of the emirates. The 40-member FNC serves in an advisory capacity. The elections have been set to take place in December 2006.

JIU-JITSU FOR KIDS IN JORDAN:
Martial Arts for kids in JordanePhotos Spreading
The Brazilian black belt of Judô and BJJ Samy Muhyeddin has a new project in his new land, Jordane. The BJJ professor, who lives in Amã city for three years, did begin a new project called as “Straight edge Fighters”, inside of the academy The Source, which has the objective to prepare amazing athletes. Samy traveled to and did visit the TATAME team and explained to us what he wants with this new project leaded by him and by the professor Tarek Kalimat. “These came from which means like preparing the best athletes. This is more than a simple project, this is a concept, a movement, we want to reach every kid of the country”, explained him.
The project has begun five moths ago and the success has been increasing a lot. “We have now 22 children, and there are still some kids at the waiting list. Our next step is bringing this project for the poor kids of the Jordane; kids there are living in Palestine camps. We want to support them 100% with the sport”, guarateed the excited black belt, who also commented about the main goal of this project under the country: “We want to reach the whole country, I want to educate them, their culture. The children and oung people in Jordane smokes a lot, they watch much television, they don’t have a healthy life and I think the BJJ and the martial arts are a great way to change it”, finished him. To kow more nformation about the project and the academy in Jordane, contact themn by the phone 962-79-5644402. Check out the complete interview with Samy Muhyeddin tomorrow here at site TATAME.

USA WRESTLING:
USA Wrestling hosted a Grappling Summit at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. on March 10, bringing together many leaders from wrestling and Grappling to discuss the future of the sport.
FILA, the international wrestling federation, recently recognized Grappling as a form of international wrestling. FILA has appointed a World Grappling Committee to oversee the development of the sport on the international level.
USA Wrestling, as the national governing body for wrestling in the United States and a member of FILA, hosted this Grappling Summit to organize its involvement in Grappling moving forward.
FILA will host the World Wrestling Games in Antalya, Turkey on Sept. 7-9. Grappling will be included in the competition, along with Beach Wrestling and Sombo. USA Wrestling invited a number of respected Grappling organizations and leaders to discuss the process for selecting and training a U.S. Grappling team to compete in the World Wrestling Games.
In addition to leaders and staff from USA Wrestling, the meeting featured representatives from the following organizations:
* International Submission Wrestling Association
* Grapplers Quest
* World Grappling Games
* North American Grappling Association
* No Limits
* FILA World Grappling Committee
* On The Mat.com
Other organizations were invited and have expressed an interest in participating in future organizational activities with USA Wrestling.
USA Wrestling President Jim Ravannack of Metaire, La. announced the creation of an ad-hoc committee within USA Wrestling for Grappling. Included on the Grappling ad-hoc committee are Ravannack, Art Martori of Phoenix, Ariz., John Bardis of Alpharetta, Ga., Stan Dziedzic of Roswell, Ga. and Bill Scherr of Glenview, Ill. The ad-hoc committee will make recommendations to USA Wrestling’s Board of Directors concerning the management and direction for the sport.
The leaders at the Summit, after prolonged discussion, decided to work together on a USA Wrestling Grappling World Team Trials to determine the U.S. team for the World Wrestling Games. A system of qualification for this event was also agreed upon. Final details on the World Team Trials and the qualifying series will be announced shortly. Many other topics were discussed, with an agreement to work together to build the sport in the future.
“This was an exciting and meaningful meeting,” said Ravannack. “Getting people together to discuss an emerging wrestling style and deciding to work together is very rewarding. The Grappling community is looking for a new avenue working with USA Wrestling. This is also an area where USA Wrestling can grow.”
A Grappling Sub-Committee is also being formed, to work on sport-specific issues within Grappling, including officiating, coaching, promotion, marketing and rules, to bring proposals to USA Wrestling’s ad-hoc committee.
“I am very excited we were able to get together in the same room and work towards the process of building Grappling under a legitimate national governing body like USA Wrestling,” said Jason Townsend of the International Submission Wrestling Association. “Without USA Wrestling and FILA, it would take another 20 years to get this sport where we are going. I am excited to be a part of this.”
“The last 11 years, we have watched Grappling grow into an amazing competitor and spectator sport. Now, working together with USA Wrestling, we can final take a big step to take the sport to the next level,” said Brian Cimins of Grapplers Quest.
“We are really excited to see the Grappling community come together and give the athletes an opportunity for world recognition and work toward a common goal of joining the Olympic family,” said Ryan Gregg of the World Grappling Games.
“By uniting wrestling and the submission disciplines to compete and display their skills in events sanctioned by USA Wrestling is a huge step for this sport,” said Jim Santaniello of No Limits.
USA Wrestling will make additional announcements concerning its programs within Grappling in the upcoming weeks.
