SEDA College Online, SEDA College’s English platform, has launched an English course for jiu-jitsu. The objective of the study is to provide and improve the athletes’ communication during international competitions, and even to enable the negotiation of sponsorship support from companies outside Brazil to athletes of this martial art.
The CEO of SEDA College, Tiago Mascarenhas, who is also a fighter and jiu-jitsu practitioner, revealed that the course was one of his goals to encourage athletes to attend international competitions: “Language is an instrument of social segregation. By mastering the English language, athletes will be included in conversations and will have more contact with other competitors and academies”.
English in competitions
Tiago, who also recently returned from a jiu-jitsu competition in Paris, stressed the importance of speaking English during his days there: “the whole world speaks English. You need to get around, talk, and network wherever you are. In the world of sports, it is no different. Mastering the language even helps you understand rules and talk to the judge”.
