First Abu Dhabi Trials to be Held in China
Yesterday was quite a momentous day for Jiu-jitsu in China. ShanghaiBJJ’s own Ryan Melchiano and Stanley Tam were appointed Vice Directors of Jiu-jitsu within the Chinese Judo and Wrestling Federation. This is a huge progression for jiu-jitsu in China as it means that China is going to be supporting Jiu-jitsu and will be holding their first Abu Dhabi Trials this year.
Why this is even bigger news for local Chinese practitioners, is it now means it will be possible for a local Chinese to get a Visa to be able to travel to compete in competitions world wide.
I can say, having trained in China for 5 months, that the level of Jiu-jitsu in China is impressive for the small amount of people training but its about to get a whole lot more intense, as this brings new opportunity for local Chinese.
