Serge Moreau is 68 years old and obtained his black belt of krav-maga last June, in his club of Saint-Jean-d’Illac. He has also published the book “My big tournament”, self-published on Amazon. “At 41, I had a back problem and the orthopedist advised me to play sports, explains Serge Moreau. I am drawn to the Asian side and after testing judo, I turned to ju-jitsu. I was interested in all aspects of this martial art, long practiced by samurai. I realized that this sport had similarities with everyday life. I got my 1ᵉʳ black belt at 48, and my 2ᵉ dan at 53. »
A fight of life
At 62, he wanted to try something else, and in September 2016, he started krav-maga, a discipline that is attracting more and more members, while continuing ju-jitsu. “It was also the year of my cancer, the beginning of a long tournament made up of several fights. I am lucky to be well supported, my wife is a nurse. The advantage of martial arts is that it helps us get up. When I learned about my cancer, I reacted immediately by accepting the disease. I decided to fight knowing that it would be long. »
With his wife, they focused on another project. “We put our house in Saint-Jean-d’Illac up for sale and we went to rent while waiting for the construction of our new accommodation in Martignas. We also got our papers in order, in case the cancer wins the tournament. »
After the operation, Serge Moreau quickly resumed sport and embarked on meditation. “At the end of the treatment, I felt frustrated with my last injection. It made me want to write, like therapy. We then moved in in December 2019 and some time after, I took out my writings. I finished writing and with my wife, we edited the book where I give my secret techniques against different fights. I quit ju-jitsu, but continue krav-maga. »
