BJJ IN ABU DHABI SCHOOLS!


Jiu-Jitsu in Abu Dhabi schools
Start sunday 12/10/2008
Gentle art is now part of the official curriculum

Jiu-Jitsu is more and more becoming a part of the everyday life in the United Arab Emirates. Thanks to GMA member Carlao Santos, the gentle art has gained in importance in the country.
Another big step has been taken this last few days, as is informed in the Gulf News online publication. As part of a educational reform, several new activities are being introducted to UAE schools. Jiu-Jitsu is one of them. At first, 14 facilities will offer the gentle art. Five in Al Ain and Abu Dhabi and two in Al Gharbeya, of which two are girls-only schools.
