The official supplier of the best sampled judokas. One of the clubs that has the largest number of licensees in France also enters into the category of young people.

Several disciplines are available: Judo, ju jujitsu, Aikido, Iaido, Chanbara and Taïso.

This French boxing club, which is essential on Nantes, offers a complete approach to its sport, poorly publicized and highly technical for a combat sport. However, the educators, led by Thierry Bocquel, do not hesitate to work and often act in their space, on the first floor of the superb Coidelle Hall. The room releases smells of another time, old wood, worn varnish. Leisure or competition, courses are performed with the same passion every evening and Saturday. Progress is assured.

Aikido, Japanese martial art, mixes different techniques: the sword, the stick and the techniques of concentration, breathing. All techniques are designed to control the opponent, leading him to a fall and/or a capital asset. It is about channelling the movement, speed and strength of the opponent, using them without opposing them. From the traditional Japanese teaching of aikido of the founder Moriheï Ueshiba, the courses and courses offered by the Nantes association offer courses accessible to everyone, whatever the level. Old and beginner practice together in all friendliness. The club is affiliated with the French federation and offers adult and child courses.
