Tai Kung Pao 大公報 Article on BJJ 巴西柔術

Translation:

The competition was organized by Kowloon BJJ and held in Western Sports Park Shueng Wan Hong Kong. Besides Hong Kong competitors, there were also competitors from Brazil, USA and Japan. The competition was divided into white belt and blue belt categories with 10 different weight divisions.

BJJ is descended from Judo. In early 19th century, Japan Judo master, Maeda Mitsuyo, immigrated to Brazil. Repaying the Gracie family hospitality, he taught the family Judo. The Gracie family became addicted to this martial art. They enhanced and modified it, finally they established their own "Brazilian Jiu -jitsu". Bjj is mainly played on the ground. The object is to control your opponent or use joint locks or choke to win.

The organizer of the event, Takizawa Keisuke, reported that BJJ was only founded in HK 6 to 7 years,However, from increasing gyms membership and the references in pop-culture such as movies, it has become an up and coming martial art in HK. The competition is held every year to support the growth of the communication between the BJJ gyms in HK. He also mentioned that the teams will be competing in overseas at the end of year.

Kowloon BJJ and the Copa 5 organizers would like to give a big round of applause to all competitors. All though at the time of the event, most may think differently, in the end winning or losing doesn't matter so much as the willingness to compete and support your team, and to do so with heart, determination and respect for ones opponents. By being willing to step on the mat, you not only serve to improve and give respect to yourself, but to the art of Jiu-jitsu as it is practiced today. Well done to all.

We would also like to cordially thank all participating teams and their coaches: Grips BJJ, Versus Performance Gym, Kylin BJJ, Macau BJJ, Contact Gym, and Gracie Barra Hong Kong. Thank you for your support.

Lastly, we would like to personally thank all volunteer referees of this event. Overall, we believe without a doubt that the standard of refereeing was the highest yet in Hong Kong. Thank you again so much to Silvio Braga, Rodrigo Caporal, Makoto Aramaki, Adam Clarke, Taki, Daniel Charles, Thomas of Kylin (sorry, forgot your last name, but everyone knows who you are, haha), and Henry Chan.

Once again, congratulations and thanks to all, and we hope to see you again on the 4th of September for the Copa 6 No-gi competition, as well as the conclusion of the white and blue belt absolute categories to be named at a later date.

OSU!!!
