The Shin Dojo Herblinois is preparing its facilities across three municipal districts in Saint-Herblain as the club opens registration for the 2026-2027 season, shindojo.fr reported.
Class Schedules and Facility Openings for September 2026
Adult classes resume on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, while children’s programs and family judo sessions start on Monday, September 7, 2026, shindojo.fr stated.

Expanding Disciplines With New Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Women-Only Classes
The club offers traditional judo, leisure and competitive training, jujitsu in traditional, combat, and ne-waza formats, and taïso—a conditioning workout performed without falls, lesportanantes.fr noted. New additions for the 2026-2027 schedule include Brazilian jiu-jitsu (ne-waza) for participants aged 14 and older, held every other Thursday at Bourgonnière, alongside a bi-weekly 100 percent women’s judo class restricted to female practitioners aged 12 and older.
