Hikmah Youth: Nusaybah Gi Open 2026

"The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though there is good in both." (Sahih Muslim)

Rooted in the Sunnah, we seek to cultivate strength of body, mind, and character in our young sisters. Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we encourage discipline, perseverance, and the pursuit of excellence for the sake of Allah.

🥋 Nusaybah Gi Open 2026

Bismillah.

Hikmah Youth is honoured to present the Nusaybah Gi Open 2026—our first girls-only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competition, taking place, in shaa Allah, in Huddersfield.

Hikmah Youth is a house-based madrasa initiative dedicated to nurturing strong Islamic character through beneficial activities rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as a modern form of wrestling, provides a unique means of developing resilience, confidence, discipline, humility, patience, and perseverance alongside physical wellbeing.

The Nusaybah Gi Open has been established to provide girls with the opportunity to compete in an environment that reflects Islamic values, encourages excellent character (akhlaq), and celebrates sincere effort and personal growth.

🌱 Our Vision

The Nusaybah Gi Open is more than a competition.

It is an opportunity to encourage young Muslim women to develop:

• Confidence through challenge

• Discipline through consistent effort

• Resilience through perseverance

• Respect and humility through good sportsmanship

• Brotherhood, community, and mutual encouragement

• Excellence (Ihsaan) both on and off the mat

We hope every competitor leaves stronger in body, richer in character, and inspired to continue their journey.

🔒 Female-Only Environment

The privacy and comfort of our competitors is one of our highest priorities.

As many participants observe hijab, the Nusaybah Gi Open operates as a female-only event with enhanced privacy measures.

To help maintain a respectful environment:

• Mobile phones and personal recording devices will be secured in touch-screen lock pouches upon entry.

• Devices remain with their owners throughout the event.

• Photography, filming, livestreaming, and video calls inside the competition area are not permitted.

• Official event photography will be undertaken only by authorised female event media under strict privacy guidelines.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's cooperation in preserving a safe and dignified atmosphere for all.

🏅 What to Expect

Competitors can look forward to:

• Professionally organised Gi-only Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu matches

• Medals and awards

• A welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere

• Fair officiating and structured divisions

• A competition experience centred on growth, respect, and excellence

Whether it is your first competition or your fiftieth, our aim is that every athlete leaves with increased confidence, valuable experience, and memories to cherish.

🤲 Final Message

We ask Allah ﷻ to place barakah in this gathering, accept it as a means of benefit for our young sisters, strengthen them in body, mind, and faith, and allow this event to inspire excellent character, sincerity, and perseverance.

"And whoever strives, only strives for the benefit of himself. Indeed, Allah is free of need from the worlds." (Qur'an 29:6)

We look forward to welcoming competitors, coaches, volunteers, and families to the inaugural Nusaybah Gi Open 2026.
