In a proud moment for Pakistan’s sports community, Isra Wasim has been elected as a member of the Jiu-Jitsu International Federation (JJIF) Athletes Commission, marking a major milestone for the country’s representation in the global martial arts arena.
The JJIF Athletes Commission plays a key role in representing athletes’ interests worldwide, ensuring that their voices are heard in all international decision-making processes related to the sport. Isra Wasim’s election to the body underscores Pakistan’s growing influence in combat sports, particularly in the field of Jiu-Jitsu, which has gained popularity in recent years.
Isra Wasim’s achievement highlights the dedication and talent of Pakistani martial artists, who continue to perform impressively on international platforms despite limited resources and training infrastructure. Her selection reflects not only her individual excellence but also the country’s commitment to fostering young talent in emerging sports disciplines.
As a commission member, Isra will be actively involved in discussing policies that promote athlete welfare, fair competition, and global cooperation among Jiu-Jitsu practitioners.
