Abu Dhabi gets set to become the new home of #BJJ @UAEJJF @readyfg
I tell EVERYONE that the UAE is the HOME of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu…lol. Not California, not Miamia…and no longer Brazil.
With Superstars like Pablo Popovitch, Marcos Oliveira, Paulo Pinto, Igor Silva, Felipe Sagat, and Alex Trans already living in the UAE as instructors and competitors, its hard to argue that they are recruiting some of the top players from around the world.
recently Fighting Lifestyle caught up with Chief Operating Officer of Palm Sports Ms. Dima Najjar interviewing her about the growth of BJJ in the UAE and the rest of the Middle East. Ms. Najjar explained that Palm Sports is the main body in the UAE responsible for the Jiu Jitsu programs in the Emirates, which has been instrumental in the growth and expansion of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu around the world
Big changes are expected for Palm Sports in the next few months as more than 200 Black Belts are going to be hired to fill the demand for coaches and instructors. With more than 200 coaches already living and teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the UAE full time, this will almost double the size of the program, which is a big statement in regards to the amount of demands their are in the UAE for premium Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling training.
