On September 28, 2024, the Malaysia Jiu Jitsu Federation’s hosted a JJIF (Ju-Jitsu International Federation) Referee Certification event.
The certification aimed to raise the standards of refereeing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with participation from many practitioners, including our very own Professor Marco Oliveira. Prof. Marco excelled in the exams and was one of only three individuals to achieve a double promotion to the prestigious Continental B referee level.
The following day, on September 29, the Federation held an exhibition competition where newly certified referees could demonstrate their on-field officiating skills. Several MYBJJ students—Nurul, Faidzal, Rhydil, Ariff, Wei Wen, and Itan—competed, showcasing their dedication, skills, and passion for the sport. Each student performed admirably, making us proud as they represented MYBJJ on the mats.
Additionally, our very own Amin played a crucial role in the event, serving as the staff member responsible for tracking the points during the matches. His efforts were key in ensuring the smooth running of the competition.
The event was a fantastic opportunity for both the referees and competitors, and MYBJJ was well represented in all aspects of the event. A big congratulations to everyone involved!
