“This result confirms that Tajikistan's Jiu-Jitsu school is now among the most competitive on the world stage. This achievement is not the work of one person but the result of daily efforts from all the coaches, athletes, and the new leadership team. We see that the system is beginning to work, and we will continue to jointly develop our sport,” commented Tajikistan’s national team coach Komil Boymurodov to Asia-Plus.
