Second round of Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship kicks off tomorrow in Dubai

The second round of the Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship, featuring competitions in the No-Gi division, will take place at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai tomorrow.

Organised by the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation, the championship will gather elite athletes from leading clubs and academies across the UAE.

A significant addition to this round is the inclusion of the under-12 category in the No-Gi competitions for the first time, aiming to attract a broad spectrum of emerging talents that represent the future of the sport in the UAE.

Fahad Al Shamsi, Secretary-General of the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation, said, “The second round of the Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship, dedicated to the No-Gi division competitions, marks a significant step towards the sustainable development of the sport. Introducing the under-12 category is a significant step, fostering young talent and cultivating a culture of excellence among the next generation of athletes.”

“We anticipate that the second round of the championship will build on the unprecedented success of the first, with strong public attendance, athlete and club participation, community engagement, and extensive media coverage. We look forward to witnessing the impressive skills, strategies, and unique techniques showcased in the No-Gi competitions. We are confident that this platform will nurture a promising new generation of champions,” Al Shamsi added.

“The Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Jiu-Jitsu Championship is organized over 5 rounds across various emirates, offering a unique platform that encourages wide participation from athletes, fans, and families. Beyond talent discovery and the creation of champions, it fosters a community that pursues healthy and active lifestyles. The championship plays a pivotal role in preparing future champions who will continue to lead the UAE’s achievements in Jiu-Jitsu at the continental and global levels.”
Al Shamsi further highlighted the championship’s comprehensive ranking system which promotes investment in talent and skills development, involving the maximum number of competitors across diverse age and weight categories. This system enables clubs and academies to accumulate points and vie for the title at the final round of the championship.
