Nacim Adelin, a 22-year-old Moroccan and France’s number one in his category, divides his days between Brazilian jiu-jitsu, his studies and supporting children in difficulty in France. He is currently taking part in an international championship in Abu Dhabi and explains his commitment to young people in an interview published by the Emirati agency WAM.
Nacim Adelin, a Moroccan living in France and ranked first nationally among adult men in the blue belt gi category for the 2025-2026 season, supports children facing family or social difficulties at a French care home where he regularly spends his evenings and sometimes nights. He helps them with their homework, organises activities and supports them in their daily lives, he told the Emirati agency WAM in an interview published on 10 November.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu also plays a role in this support. Faced with children who struggle to manage their frustration or anger, Nacim Adelin encourages them to take part in physical activity and has installed a small mat at the home to teach them the basic movements of the discipline. According to the official ranking of the French Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Confederation, the MK Team representative has 326.50 points.
