The third round of the Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship begins today in Fujairah

Today, all eyes are on the Emirate of Fujairah, with the start of the third round of the Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship for the “Without Suit” category.

The third round gains special importance in the course of the season, as it constitutes a vital platform for testing the technical and physical readiness of the players, in light of the nature of the fights that depend on fast pace and instantaneous interaction, which enhances the value of tactical discipline and the ability to read the course of the fight accurately, and contributes to refining the players’ skills and raising their technical levels. The tournament also stands out as an advanced competitive space that contributes to accelerating the development of players, through direct contact and the exchange of experiences between various groups, which supports the direction of the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation in building a sustainable system capable of supplying national teams with talents qualified to compete at the highest levels, and continuing the process of achievements achieved by the UAE on the international arena.

Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications at the Emirates Jiu-Jitsu Federation, Abdullah Salem Al Zaabi, said: “We notice a continuous expansion in the scope of participation in the tournament, which is a clear indication of the success of the efforts made to spread the game and attract wider segments of players. This diversity enhances the quality of competition and gives talents a real opportunity to prove their presence and develop within a professional environment.”

For his part, Thiab Al Nuaimi, Al Ain Club player in the adult category, 62 kg, brown/black belt, said: “The competition in this round has a special character, because the fights in the (without suit) category depend greatly on the speed of reaction and the accuracy of decision-making inside the mat, which forces the player to maintain high concentration throughout the fight.”
