The Kodokan Pamiers judo club launched its competitive season with a series of strong performances at the Grand Prix d’Occitanie in Lavelanet, according to a report by La Dépêche du Midi.
The club’s athletes competed across multiple age categories, including cadets, seniors, benjamins, and minimes, while also participating in youth development events for the youngest judokas.
In the senior division, the club saw consistent results as Daphné finished in first place, Christian took third, Imran placed fifth, and Alexis finished seventh. The cadet competition yielded mixed results for the male representatives: Mishel secured a first-place finish, Khalil and Hugo both earned third-place spots, and Ryam finished seventh, while Félix and Nolan were unranked. In the women’s cadet category, Neirmine finished first in her division.
Beyond the performance of the club’s judokas, Kyllian Ruiz-Digoude achieved a new milestone in his martial arts career. Already recognized as a cadet vice-champion of France and a bronze medalist at the European Ju-Jitsu Championships, Ruiz-Digoude was awarded his blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This promotion follows his recent gold medal performance at the national open in Toulouse.
The Kodokan Pamiers judo club is inviting new participants to experience both judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu throughout the month of November. The club is hosting these trial sessions to encourage interest in martial arts within the local community.
Interested individuals can find further scheduling information on the official website of Kodokan Pamiers Judo.
