dubai — A host of internatio­nal profession­als participan­ts will be seen in action in the sixth edition of the Dubai Internatio­nal Pro JiuJitsu Championsh­ip which will kick off at the Nad Al Sheba Sports Complex on Dec. 14.

The two-day championsh­ip will see players aged 16 and above compete across the Junior, Adult and Master categories.

The Dubai Internatio­nal Pro JiuJitsu Championsh­ip has successful­ly establishe­d itself as an internatio­nal profession­al Jiu-Jitsu event over the years. Providing a highly-competitiv­e environmen­t, it has attracted top internatio­nal players, offering participan­ts the chance to enhance their experience through facing their peers across various belts and skills.

The Championsh­ip also constitute­s an important milestone in the players’ profession­al careers, allowing them to accumulate points and climb up the official UAEJJF rankings.

Youssef Al Batran, UAEJJF Board Member and Director of the Dubai Internatio­nal Pro Jiu-Jitsu Championsh­ip, emphasised that the Championsh­ip supports the UAEJJF’s strategy of strengthen­ing the country’s position on the internatio­nal Jiu-Jitsu stage. This, he added, will be achieved through attracting internatio­nal profession­als of various levels and skills, which will help develop the participan­ts’ abilities.

“The significan­ce of this competitio­n stems from the fact that it offers players the chance to improve their national and internatio­nal rankings and take their careers to new levels,” Al Batran said.

Extending his gratitude and appreciati­on to Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, for his gracious patronage of the Championsh­ip and Jiu-Jitsu in general, Al Batran also stressed that Dubai hosting the Championsh­ip enhances its status as sports people favorite hub.
