Federação de Jiu-Jitsu: In this Tuesday's Resenha PVT, Marcelo Alonso spoke with Pedro Duarte, a Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Murilo Bustamante, who has been teaching in Abu Dhabi since 2014. In the conversation, he gave an overview of the project that began with the first ADCC, which made the sport mandatory across the entire country — in schools, the armed forces, and now the police — employing more than 3,000 Brazilian black belts.

Besides talking about the entire sporting and cultural revolution started by Jiu-Jitsu in the country, Pedro also spoke about the progress made by local entities seeking to bring BJJ to the Olympics, and explained how a Brazilian black belt can sign up for the project, which you can do by clicking here.
