Propuesta para la creación de la primera Federación Ecuatoriana de Jiu-Jitsu en la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

Sports federations are institutions that exist nationally and internationally, among its main objectives are to promote, sponsor and develop competitions and tournaments of a certain sports discipline, these are private entities that are subjected to the government regulations of a country. The development objective of the federations is not only based on the aforementioned objectives, but also involves sports participation both publicly and socially, in order to support athletes in the discipline controlled by this institution, and either through economic inventories closely related to the professionalization of sport or access to scholarships in prestigious universities of the country in order to promote the sustainable development of a nation. (Spain Fitness, 2019), in Ecuador there are 22 sports federations, which fulfill the main purpose of these institutions. (federaciones.org, 2019) In the last decade a sport has stood out for its growth in the national sphere such as Jiu-Jitsu, a martial art that not only teaches self-defense but also discipline and promotes the physical health of the individual. (El Universo, 2018) Despite its growth, it is unfortunate to mention that the practitioners of this sport do not have support from an organization that gives them incentives and recognition for their respective professionalization, as a federation would. The purpose of this proposal is to determine the benefits that an Ecuadorian Jiu-Jitsu Federation will grant to the athletes of this discipline in the city of Guayaquil. At the same time contribute to the generation of workplaces and meet the strategic objectives of the National Development Plan All A Life.
