Biggest jiu-jitsu events in November

Abu Dhabi will reinforce its status as the global home of jiujitsu in November with the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation (UAEJJF), the governing body of the sport in the nation, hosting back-to-back mega events.

The Jiu-Jitsu World Championship returns to Abu Dhabi’s Jiu Jitsu Arena from November 3-11, bringing the world’s best athletes together for nine days of top-level competition. Then, just days later, the Arena will host the 13th edition of the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship (ADWPJJC), the largest and most prestigious event on the global calendar, with more than 2,000 athletes from over 30 countries taking to the mats in junior, adult and masters’ categories from November 13-16.

The Jiu-Jitsu World Championship gives UAE athletes the perfect platform to continue developing their skills against the world’s best. The championship represents the last opportunity to qualify for the World Games 2022, in the United States.

Healthy lifestyle

Mohammad Salem Al Dhaheri, Vice President of UAEJJF, said: “As we celebrate the country’s 50-year journey we also look forward to how we can support the vision of our leaders for the next 50, including promoting healthy, active lifestyle.

“Furthermore with the UAE hosting Expo 2020, it has provided us with great inspiration and confidence in our organisation to host the two biggest jiujitsu championships in the world in the space of two weeks.”
