    In this research project, I have conducted a research about the group concepts of "Kana Kao" (old group) and "Kana Mai" (new group) in order to elucidate the various Islamic ideologies of each group. Furthermore, I aimed to clarify how these ideologies generate friction and lead to exclusion from opposing groups. As a result of this research, the following points were primarily clarified: (1) the group concepts of "Kana Kao" and "Kana Mai" and their transition, and the mechanism of generating friction and conflict between both groups, (2) the friction, conflict and coexistence among "Saai Sufi" (currents of Sufism), "Kana Kao" and "Kana Mai," and regional differences, and (3) "Kana Kao" and "Kana Mai" in the Shia Islamic society.

    In the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Martial Art that has been promoted the most is the Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which was introduced into the physical education in schools. It is compulsory for male students from grade 6 to 12 and an elective subject for female students. Actually about 80% of them took lessons. In Abu Dhabi Emirate, the introduction of jiu-jitsu is seemingly expected to contribute to the youth’s mental growth, the improvement of their health, furthermore, the enhancement in patriotism of the emirate through developing world-class jiu-jitsu players. Its introduction into physical education is presumed to have caused some change to the women’s educational philosophy and entertainment outlook associated with martial arts. The investigation shows that a small number of women in Abu Dhabi did martial arts so far, however, at present a large number of women participate in jiu-jitsu games.
