Mouilleron-le-Captif: Judo 2nd Dan Success

Two second dan black belt awards greatly moved Christophe Pérou, the coach of the Mouilleron Judo Club (JMC), on Friday. He is full of praise for these two athletes.

Yvan Cartaud just obtained his 2nd dan: This is not a simple award of belt or rank: this 2e dan represents years of effort and commitment, technical progress and questioning. Indeed, Yvan is persevering, he never gives up… But beyond the athlete, there is the man, Yvan loves the truth and sincere relationships, he remains faithful to his principles of authenticity, respect and honesty. Qualities that appear in his practice of judo.

Stéphane Fritz was also awarded his second dan. It’s a great emotion for the coach : “Judo was the real way for Stéphane to recover from the ups and downs of life. He drew strength and balance from it to move forward. Indeed, Stéphane Fritz does not seek recognition, he advances with perseverance and humility.

Two athletes who found the strength to move forward in life through their practice. Congratulations for this magnificent accomplishment and may the rest take them even further,” wishes them Christophe Peru.
