Diago "A Fighting Art that cannot be challenged easily"
Jiu Jitsu's teacher Diago Moraes, who informed the students about the history of Jiu Jitsu, said that the martial art is way of defense.

Describing the reason why this martial art developed especially in Brazil, Moraes said: "Someone goes to Japan and learns Jiu Jitsu in samurai art, and returned to Brazil. Upon his return to the country, organized various training activities to reach wider masses. He invites famous people from other fighting sports to show that Jiu Jitsun is actually an effective fighting art that can not be easily be overcome. "

"With Jiu Jitsu, you can defend yourself against stronger, overweight and tall people than yourself," says Diago Moraes. "Anyone who does not have any health problems can do this sport and help develop lungs at an advanced level. This sport is a self-defense art ", he said.

Erdağ; "We have been providing trainings for this sport to our friends for 3 years with supports of Dr. Aziz Günsel"
Deniz Erdag also said in his speech, "With the supports and contribution of Dr. Aziz Günsel, we have been providing training opportunities for this sport to our friends for 3 years at the Near East University. Diago joined us a year ago, and we have traveled a lot in terms of both technical and sporting aspects from since we have started. People do not know much about it because it is a sport that has fallen behind other sports branches in terms of popularity, but you can not leave it once you start.".
