Ramadan: Jiu-Jitsu Champion on the Rise

My name is Ramadan, and I'm 23 years old. I lived in Amman Children's Village. After graduating from the village, I moved to the Bayader Youth House. I took a course in physical therapy at the University of Jordan, and currently, I'm a Jiu-Jitsu player in a sports team called "Mirza." It's the first Arab team in the Middle East and ranks fifth globally in this sport.

I want people to know that Jiu-Jitsu is a self-defense sport that relies more on thinking and strategy than being purely combative.

Despite suffering a shoulder injury during one of the combat championships, I persevered, took a brief hiatus from sports, and returned even stronger. None of my achievements would have been possible without the unwavering support of the village. I've secured numerous championships, including the West Asia Championship, Abu Dhabi Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship, and the Grand Slam. Additionally, I earned an MMA championship belt from EFC and another from AUFC

My ambition is to continue achieving top positions in championships, and I'd like you to get to know me better through my TV interviews on YouTube.

One last thing I'd like to say is, "Even if you have nothing, work on building yourself up, rely on yourself, and persevere toward a positive and bright future.
