Chris Co - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Unti-unti nang nakikilala ang jiujitsu sa Pilipinas dahil na rin sa kaliwa’t kanang tagumpay ng mga Pinoy fighters hindi lamang sa seniros division maging sa juniors.

Mismong si Steve Shimizu ang presidente ng Marianas Open International and Sports Tourism sa Guam — ang nagpatunay nito.

“With the sport gro­wing, going bigger, jiujitsu has just formulated into a world-renowned sport and the thing about it is that Guam is also growing out of the sport’s popularity in the Philippines,” ani Shimizu.

Dahil sa popularidad ng jujitsu sa Pilipinas, mas pinipili ng mga Gua­manians na magpartisipa dito sa bansa hindi lamang dahil sa matitikas na mga atleta nito maging sa mainit na pagtanggap ng mga Pinoys.

“Most importantly, (jujitsu) it has grown on popularity among Filipinos as well as the Guamanians who love to compete here,” ani Shimizu.

Tinukoy din ni Shimizu ang Pilipinas bilang isa sa mga powerhouse countries sa mundo ng jujitsu.

“One of the awesome things about the Philippines is its athletes who are very well tact, very renowned, and I competed alongside with them in Japan, in Philippines and I tell you they are tough, and the reason why we’re here,” ani Shimizu.

Nasa bansa ngayon si Shimizu para sa Jiujitsu Marianas Pro Manila tourna­ment sa Alabang na ginanap noong Linggo.
