UAE adds two jiu-jitsu golds and bronze at Asian Games

At the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games in Japan on 2 October, the UAE national jiu-jitsu team won two gold medals and one bronze. Mahdi Al Awlaqi won the men’s 77kg title, Asma Al Hosani retained the women’s 52kg title, and Amaar Al Hosani took bronze in the men’s 94kg division. The result raised the UAE jiu-jitsu tally at these Games to eight medals: five golds, two silvers and one bronze. The competition was still under way and scheduled to continue on 3 October, so the tally was not a final event total.
