This is a family that joins the Judo jujitsu club in Coueron. Until last season, Michel Moreau, 80 years old, was the teacher of the club, 5th dan of the French Judo Federation and 8th dan Dojo in France, and Yann Parent, president, also supervisor. But Michel Moreau wants to lead only the youth on Wednesday. At the same time, Yann Parent resigned from the presidency to become a professor. And chance can make things good.
Thierry Ménard, 62, has been at the club for sixteen years. Retired for two years, he helped Michel Moreau manage the children. He explained: “I found Claude Haberzétel, a former teacher at the judo club in Saint-Herblain. He agreed to go to Couëron to teach. Unifier, Claude, 6th dan FFJ black belt, also brought former graduates from Saint-Herblain here, and introduced us to a former student turned teacher: Andy Chauveau 5th dan black belt, who will come to officiate on Friday . »
French champion and international medalist
Claude Haberzétel, 51, likes to fight and submit. French champion, international medalist, he is part of the French team with David Douillet. Now a teacher here and in La Chevrolière, he also created the “Judo Camp” in Treffieux, where stays around judo and other games, even board games, organized for children aged 7 to 17 from across the region. In Couëron, two-day courses will take place around this concept, during all the holidays, open to any child even without a license, he announced.
110 members
Andy Chauveau, 43, also has a good track record. Black belt at 18, after starting at 14, he competed in the French championships, then began training as a teacher with Claude Haberzétel as his teacher. Teacher, elected in the League, Andy Chauveau wants to revive the club of Coueron.
At the same time, Pascal Hardy, 60 years old, ex-treasurer and twenty years in the club, took over as president. He is one of the good examples of volunteerism: he no longer practices judo, because of his job, but remains committed to his responsibilities. With 110 members, the adventure continues. And because of the high level of teachers, we are thinking of relaunching competitions, holding interclub meetings… rebuilding.
