A technological revolution is underway in the global martial arts community with the official launch of Ujitsu, the world’s first comprehensive digital ecosystem specifically designed for jiu-jitsu practitioners. Originating in the United Arab Emirates, where jiu-jitsu holds status as the national sport, this innovative platform addresses a critical gap in the martial arts world: the absence of unified digital infrastructure for its rapidly expanding global community.
The application represents a significant advancement in sports technology, offering living digital profiles that allow athletes to document their entire jiu-jitsu journey. The platform features global academy mapping, intelligent event discovery systems, and specialized tools supporting coaches and training facilities of all sizes. With an estimated 20 million practitioners worldwide across more than 100 countries, Ujitsu arrives as a timely solution for a sport experiencing exponential growth.
What sets Ujitsu apart is its sophisticated integration of artificial intelligence across multiple training dimensions. The platform features Coach AI for technical development, Nutrition AI for dietary planning, and Body AI for physical conditioning and recovery guidance. These AI-driven tools provide personalized recommendations that support a balanced and sustainable approach to training, reflecting jiu-jitsu’s core principles of mental discipline and technique over brute strength.
The platform’s social connectivity features enable practitioners to locate training partners locally or while traveling through its Find and Invite Sparring Partners function. This encourages real-world collaboration and maintains training continuity regardless of geographical location.
Ujitsu has garnered support from elite ambassadors who embody the discipline’s values, including multiple-time IBJJF World Champion João Miyao, recognized for his technical innovation, and young phenom Daniel ‘220v’, a four-time Abu Dhabi World Pro Champion. These athletes represent the platform’s commitment to authenticity and community-driven development.
Beyond individual training benefits, Ujitsu serves as a bridge between athletes and commercial opportunities, enabling sports brands to identify trusted ambassadors and create sponsorship pathways that strengthen the global jiu-jitsu ecosystem.
As the platform expands into European and American markets, its development remains guided by ongoing dialogue with practitioners, coaches, and academy owners worldwide. Ujitsu represents not merely another fitness application but long-term digital infrastructure designed to support the sustainable growth of jiu-jitsu as both sport and lifestyle for generations to come.
