With less than one week left to the competitions, the UAE Jiu-Jitsu national team is at a training camp and aiming to maintain the continental title and build on previous achievements, especially the recent accomplishment at the Asian Games in China at the end of last year, which culminated in achieving 10 historic medals for the UAE.
