school-jitsu start:


Under the patronage of H.H SHEIKH MOHAMMAD BIN ZAYED AL NAHYAN
and H.H. SHEIKH ZAYED BIN MOHAMMAD BIN ZAYED AL NAHYAN,
CHAIRMAN OF SCHOOL-JITSU PROJECT
Today is a big day for the history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, not only in the UAE, but all over the world!
27 of September 2009 - Is the beginning of the school year in the government schools in the UAE (ADEC-ABU DHABI EDUCATION COUNCIL). This is the second year of the project School-Jitsu, where students in grades 6 and 7, from 9 to 12 years old, have their school curriculum grades changed. Instead of having Physical Education classes, they will be learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Last year this project covered 14 schools. Now it has tripled for 42 schools, including 6 female schools, that totalize approximately twenty thousand students (around two thousand girls) training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
The project manager and Head Coach of the Emirates Jiu-Jitsu National Team, Mr. Carlos Santos say that today is the marc of the introduction of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as the National Sport of the UAE, as he is very close to the main objective - to found a good base, training kids in the schools and make inter-school’s tournaments in order to develop he interest of the locals for the sport. And in the future we will be able to have a solid and stronger national team in all categories of the sport.
Jiu-Jitsu students develop a deep understanding of the mechanics of the human skeletal and muscular systems, so they are able to subdue an attacker, causing him no injuries. Acquiring these skills is not easy, and requires mental and physical effort from the student. The rewards however are great, and include massive improvements in strength, flexibility. Social skills as respect, discipline and common sense are improved as a result of interacting with individuals and the group as a whole.
