Located in the heart of the sports complex, and born under the leadership of the French Judo Federation, the departmental council of Mayenne, the municipality and the judo club, this new place reveals a space of 200 m² (instead of 120 m² previously), white walls, LED lighting, new boxes, a black and white photo of Jigor Kan, the father of judo, surrounded by the 8 values of judo such as respect or politeness and a royal blue tatami . “ It is an excellent work tool. It’s made of foam underneath. For falls, it hurts less. Before, we put mats with holes and it was dangerous for the toes and ankles. », analyzes with a smile Christophe Dutertre, black belt and teacher for 5 years.
“We hope to reach 100 licensees”
Created in 2017, with 35 children in particular, the club has 66 members. “ With this new dojo we hope to reach 100 licensees and progress sportingly », Explains Philippe Rayniere, the president of the club.
