E-mail Print PDF
“I have a dream”, what of an Africa serving as example of unity, technical ability, organization and development in the fields of Jiu-Jitsu/ Self-Defense. I also strongly believe in the certain contribution of Jiu-Jitsu/ Self-Defense to the African development, as well as the prevention, anticipation and non-violent & efficient management of conflictual and dangerous situations; this would be done through specialized programs dedicated to the educational & social training of our society (children, women, disabled persons, army/ police/ security agencies, etc.). That is why i invite the whole African Jiu-Jitsu family, to a real mobilization which lonely could allow us to:
  • Overcome our continent poverty, and present to the World a better image of unity and total harmony among our nations’ members;
  • Increase significantly and faster the number of African members of JJAFU and JJIF;
  • Become a strong factor of Jiu-Jitsu/ Self-Defense development and promotion for JJIF, through our constructive ideas, technical and financial contributions;
  • Give back to Jiu-Jitsu/ Self-Defense its position as the leader of Japanese martial arts;
  • Exploit the Jiu-Jitsu philosophy and ethic for building a new awaked society able to lead us to a positive revolution similar to the actual Chinese one in the World.
