Wijaya Putra University (UWP) Surabaya lecturers' concern for sports development was again demonstrated in real action. This time, three UWP lecturers focused on supporting Jujitsu Dojo Wijaya Putra athletes by donating fitness equipment in the form of SIT-UP Portable, which is very practical and easy to carry anywhere.

This support is a concrete manifestation of the role of lecturers in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, especially in the field of community service. They want to ensure that Jujitsu athletes are ready to face the Southeast Asia Unesa Open (KJUO) Ju-Jitsu Championship, which will be held on 18-20 October 2024.

“We provide Portable SIT-UP equipment so that athletes can maintain their fitness. This tool is easy to use and transport, so it can be used anywhere. "The aim is to help athletes avoid injuries that often occur due to punches, kicks and locks during training and matches," said Mochammad Muchid, Head of Service, when interviewed.

This service program is chaired by Mochammad Muchid, with Muharom as companion and Krisnadhi Hariyanto as executor. The three hope that with this fitness equipment, athletes can improve their performance and reduce the risk of long-term injury.

"We not only want to help them become champions at the Southeast Asian level, but also open up opportunities for them to achieve achievements that can earn them educational scholarships," added Muchid, on the sidelines of the athletes' training.

This support is an important step in preparing Jujitsu Dojo Wijaya Putra athletes to compete at the international level, as well as showing how serious Wijaya Putra University is in encouraging pupils and students to achieve achievements, both in academics and sports.
