FUJAIRAH: Round three of the Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship (No-Gi) will get underway in Fujairah on Saturday, marking another key stage in the season as top clubs and athletes continue to vie for the leading positions in the overall standings.
Abdullah Salem Al-Zaabi, director of marketing and corporate communication at the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation (UAEJJF), said in a press release: “We are seeing steady growth in participation at the championship, which shows the success of efforts to expand the sport and attract more athletes. This also raises the level of competition and gives athletes a strong platform to develop in a professional environment.”
Al-Ain Club’s brown belt athlete Theyab Alnuaimi said in the same release: “This round is different, as No-Gi matches are faster and require quick decisions. Athletes need to stay fully focused throughout, as even small mistakes can make a difference. At the same time, the championship gives us a good chance to test ourselves against different opponents, which helps us improve our performance and gain experience.”
