The feeling of protectiveness that a mother has over her child exists in virtually all species.
In this case, one of these protective mothers invaded the mat to rescue her son from a hold that he was in during a Jiu-Jitsu tournament.
The match was during the Abu Dhabi Jiu-Jitsu Cup held at First Gulf Bank Arena. It was the first day of the tournament, in which the small kids were springing into action.
The mother, Amani Al Hashemi, did not think twice and jumped onto the mat area to save her son, eleven-year-old Nahaim Rashid Abdalla. She thought that her child was injured in the fight, and jumped into action.
What did you think of the attitude of the mother? Have you seen any similar situation?
I think it's a beautiful atittude of her, but she has to understand that this is a competition, and like every competition there are rules that everybody has to follow. Including her.
It's very sweet. After a couple of tournaments she'll be fine.
Mãe é mãe, até dentro do tatame!

Poor kid, live that one down. lol
Understand her wanting to take care of her child, but while that child is on the mat, unless they call her on, that child should be the responsibility of the official and the coaches.
im 35 year old, and my mother don´t like see. rsrsrs
nao perdeu nada !!! kkkkk
ela não gosta de ver eu apanhando rsrsrs
Just because there is a rule does not mean that it is always right to follow them.
Hi Robert Setterberg, we're talking about a tournament here ok. If you dont follow the tournament's rules, you're gonna be disqualified, right?! So, if you sign in and get disqualified cause you didn't followed those rules, what's the point of singing in?
very sweet, but like every one is saying. its competition. she probably did more harm to the kid. imagine how much he's gonna get made fun of by other kids.
you ?
respect à la maman qu'elle est et qui aime
lol
Rodrigo Resende I mean that it can be scenarios were you have to intervene. I got choked unconscious in a tournament 12 years ago, the referee was inexperienced I think it was his first competition. My opponent who was a former teammate of mine held the choke for like 30 seconds when I was out, that idiot. Some people noticed but did nothing to intervene. The referee finally stopped it. I was quite upset with them later for not doing anything. Would they have let me be choked to death if the judge had not done anything to stop. In a case like that I think you are making a crime if you dont interfere.
L'amencouleur Deschamps pas de respect, mere poule rester a la maison
