By administrator on Sunday, 11 October, 2009 2:36 PM

On the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of October, the Emirates Jiu-Jitsu Team held a seminar in Cairo, Egypt as part of an initiative to develop the art in the Arabic countries with Carlos Santos' full support.

The seminar consisted of 40 students who got to know the art and were anxious after the seminar was over to start developing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Egypt. The Emirates Jiu-Jitsu Team was represented by Leandro Polonio, Pedro Lott and Mohamad Jehad, who were very impressed and grateful for the opportunity.

"For us, it's a great honor to be here spreading the knowlege that was given to us in Brazil, it's a great opportunity to have one more country in the world training in the gentle art! The plan is to hold this seminar 4 times a year in Cairo and the students will also come to Abu Dhabi to keep developing and learning."

The next meeting will be in December in Abu Dhabi at the Asian Super Cup.
