The excitement begins this Saturday, August 27, 2022, with the experienced competitors of the Masters Divisions. The best purple belts, brown belts and black belts aged 30 years old or more will be at the Watsco Center.
His Excellency Abdulmunam Al Hashemi, Chairman of the AJP, sent a message to all athletes in the Masters division, which is always a source of thrills. His excellency said “The warriors in the Masters Division have honored and carried the flag of Jiu-Jitsu for years. We at the AJP feel a great level of pride to offer them the stage to perform their art. Best of luck to all athletes.”
Among the many talented athletes, we found several household names in the brackets. Competitors that for years achieved the highest praise in the AJP circuit.
