Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been gaining popularity in the
recent years in Ukraine.
Thus, for example, only in Kiev there are several dozens
of the BJJ sections. Moreover the first Ukrainian Academy of Brazilian
Jiu-Jitsu will be opened in Kropivnitskii city in the nearest future.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu changes not only the country's sport
map, but also people's lives. The programmer Ievgen Skyrda even left his IT profession
because of his new passion – BJJ. Now he is a coach in the SC “Borets” (Kropivnitskii).
Ievgen Skyrda has already raised the champion of Europe and three World
champions. Moreover, recently three more sportsmen have become champions during
the tournament that took place in Great Britain.
“I was engaged in the IT sphere for more than 10
years, but had left it about two years ago,” - Skyrda said. – “I have completely
devoted myself to my club and fighters. I think that person must do what he wants
and loves. Even though now I earn less, but I am really happy person”.
Before the coaching carrier Skyrda had practiced judo.
But after a knee injury, he started to go in for BJJ. He received a great experience
from the Ukrainian masters and even studied BJJ in Brazil.
The ex-programmer plans to create the Academy of
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for children in Kropivnitskii city. It will be a three-floored
school for about 500 people. Now the club is visited by more than 150
participants.
It is worth noting, that BJJ is very popular in the
Western world. For example, the headquarter of Google has a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
gym. Office workers are coached by Milton Bastos (the owner of the black belt).
The same BJJ trainings are also conducted for the Facebook employees.
