“Our judo club aims to become the best in Val d’Oise within five years. “
By creating the Bold Academy Judo – an English-speaking Enghiennese club that values daring and rigor -, Rayane Hamdaoui think big.
The 24-year-old judoka, who completed his 15 years of competition and his first four years as a coach at theAM Saint-Gratien, brought back former national-level Valdoisiens (from Escales Argenteuil, Beaumont and VOI Judo) who had left elsewhere in Île-de-France, welcomed friends from the Pôle France and began to train very young (3-5 years) at Dojo Leveillard (Enghien).
“My best friend, the only license holder from Am Saint-Gratien that I accepted, and a promising youngster trained at Jc Montigny-lès-Cormeilles, partner club, thanks to our 2e Professor Tarak Hakiri, where our seniors train three times a week, are the only exceptions ”, explains the president, who was a member of the Pôle France de Strasbourg and of the French team, champion of France by cadet teams in 2013 and 3rd in the Eindhoven junior tournament in 2015.
Return of wonders
From its first competition, at the Senior Departmental Championships, Bold Academy Judo won as many titles (3) as Am Saint-Gratien (No. 1 in Valdois since 2016). “We would have obtained seven of the possible seven podiums without the injury of Salem Boumallah,” he said. Fulfilled Zoba Casi (3rd in France cadets 2018 in +70 kg and 3rd in the 2021 Cadet European Cup in Bucharest) won in +78 kg. Goran Jankovic (vice-champion of France by cadet teams 2013) and Hermann Djiguiba (3rd of France juniors 2016 in -100 kg) were titled in -81 kg and in +100 kg.
