The year 2021 ended beautifully for the Judo-club of the Entente des dojos du Gard (EDG). Indeed, after obtaining the black belt for Mathis Gautier, at the beginning of December, three other young judokas, Tom Roig, Maxime Fournier and Quentin Avakian, validated their first dan the following week.
They all fought admirably and validated all the tests allowing the obtaining of the black belt (technical test, kata and fights).
The awarding of the belts, by their teachers, Jessie Vinette and Ludovic Germa, took place at the start of the season. It is a real source of pride for the club, because these young judokas have shown not only their patience, forced by the suspension of competitions for almost two years, but above all their motivation, with unfailing involvement despite the current constraints. The resumption of competitions allowed them to quickly put all the experience gained to use to complete their initiatory cycle. The real learning of judo begins with the black belt, and there is no doubt that this youth promises a bright future for the club.
