Dear Friends in sports,

I like to take this opportunity to talk to the enthusiastic students in Pakistan and the friends of Ju-Jitsu around the World.Martial Arts ( Ju-Jitsu ) has gained an increasing popularity in our region, particularly in Pakistan and shall undoubtedly contribute towards the promotion of sporting activities and create the awareness of healthy lifestyle.

The success of recent World Games Akita-Japan is the prime example for the popularity of Ju-Jitsu in Asia.Thus, Ju-Jitsu is no more confined in the four corners of Europe only,but,had spread all around the World. The official recognition of the World Games by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has given more authentication to JJIF (The World governing Body). The inclusion of Ju-Jitsu in World Games 2005 at Germany is the evidence of its popularity.

In Pakistan,recent past was very hectic and busy session in respect of Ju-Jitsu activities. The visits of Mr. Jacques Noris (8th DAN from France) and Dr. Keyvan Dehnad (8th DAN from IRAN) and their respective training sessions with local players have tremendously increased the interest of other martial artists into ju-jitsu learning. More particularly, their encouraging comments telecasted ON-AIR at PTV-World about Pakistani players and their level of excellence has inspired our youth. Master Noris has even offered his scholarship for training at France to one of our young female player.

PJJF has arranged the live training program to educate the general masses/public about the importance and rules of ju-jitsu through Pakistan Television World (A Satellite channel being watched around the World). Beside it, a series of summer training camps have been launched by PJJF in the schools/ colleges. The qualified male and female coaches have been deputed to train the nursery and to get a strong Pakistani nation.

An opportunity has been provided to the national players to judge their level of excellence in the World Championship 2002 at Uruguay. The recent changes of office bearers in JJIF board will certainly bring the new wave of fresh ideas in uplifting the standard of Ju-Jitsu in our region. PJJF has already played a vital role in popularizing this sport in Asia and now rigorously busy in promoting the same by extending the hand of cooperation to the neighboring countries more particularly in central Asian region. It is our sincere belief that this particular sport would get its due place in the Olympic Arena very soon.

Before concluding, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation and compliments to the technical and Web team of PJJF as their untiring and hardwork had brought the PJJF Website on the TOP Ranks of the Martial arts in the World as well as in Pakistan.
