Sharjah 24: The Abu Dhabi Jiu-Jitsu Professionals Association (AJP) has announced a significant surge in registrations for the upcoming UAE National Jiu-Jitsu Championship, scheduled for June 12–14 at the Mubadala Arena in Abu Dhabi.

As a cornerstone of the regional jiu-jitsu calendar, the three-day event has finalized all technical and logistical preparations. Highlighting its expanding global appeal, the tournament is set to host roughly 1,500 male and female athletes from 85 countries, eclipsing last year’s turnout of 1,405 competitors from 73 nations.

The championship will feature a diverse lineup of divisions, including Cadet, Youth, Junior, Amateur, Masters, and Professional categories. To ensure elite officiating and seamless competition, matches will take place across seven mats under the supervision of 25 international referees. This year's record-breaking growth further solidifies Abu Dhabi’s status as the global capital of jiu-jitsu.
