The Serbian Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community is organizing a fundraising seminar for victims of the recent flood in Serbia, with all Serbian BJJ black belts.
Thousands of people crammed into boats and army trucks have fled their homes in Serbia and Bosnia after record rainfall turned the Sava River into a deadly torrent and caused the worst floods in more than a century.
According to officials in both countries, the disaster has killed at least 44 people.
Some towns have been cut off and rescue teams feared the worst as improving weather allowed them to move in.
Almost 50% of the main roads are under water, about 30% of agricultural land has been destroyed, and several towns are completely under water have to be completely evacuated.
Each instructor will show a few of their favorite techniques. Participation will be a symbolic fee.
The funds will be sent to to local humanitarian organizations.
The date will be Sunday 29th of June at 5:30 pm at BLAGOJA PAROVIĆA 156, DIF (gym).
