Around fifty young fighters at the youngest, minimal and chick level took part in the afternoon in the traditional spring tournament organized each year. “A friendly tournament, by pool and by morphological group with 3 to 4 fights per age category”. All were rewarded: a gold medal for the winners, a silver for the second and finally bronze for the others.
This tournament was also an opportunity for the minors to prepare for the regional championships which will take place next weekend in Quétigny (Côte-d’Or). “Seven young people from our club were selected for this event last week during the departmental championships of Migennes”, rejoices Corinne Nicolas.
