ABU DHABI, 30th September, 2022 (WAM) — The latest edition of the AJP Tour Asia Continental Pro jiu-jitsu competitions, organised by the UAE Jiu-Jitsu Federation in partnership with Abu Dhabi Jiu-Jitsu Pro (AJP), will be held at the Jiu-Jitsu Arena, Zayed Sports City on 1st and 2nd October.
Hundreds of players from various clubs and academies will engage in intense mat fights over two days for attractive prize money and points in the annual AJP ranking.
Open to all nationalities, the championship will draw the world’s top-ranked players to compete in the Kids, Youth, Amateurs, Professionals and Masters divisions, as they find it a perfect opportunity to test their skills ahead of the upcoming Jiu-Jitsu World Championship and Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

He added, “We are just a few weeks away from the start of the Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship, and the participants are keen to sharpen the technical prowess that qualifies them to compete at the highest levels. The two-day event on the weekend is an ideal platform for them to train and will take them a step closer to achieving their goals.”
In turn, Tariq Al Bahri, General Manager at the AJP, said, “The Asia Continental Pro is part of a series of championships AJP organises across multiple locations in the world. This year we have planned five AJP Tour events in the UAE, attracting the top-ranked players. We have experienced an increased demand from the players for the Asia Continental Pro Championship as the winners could win 1,400 ranking points.”
