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?
