16 Dec. 2015 – Chabeb Al Batroun Club added a newly certified sport to their list: Judo! Therefore, a new club will be fighting for achievements in the Lebanese Judo society!
The club has already three sports in their list: Basketball, Volleyball and Table Tennis. Judo will be the first martial arts discipline to be added and the second individual one!
Francois SAADE, the president of the Lebanese Judo federation visited the Club and the training court in which the athletes will be training in with the coach and international referee Andre MACHLAB. They all finally headed to a dinner together in “Batrouniyat”.
We should note that judo, as well as other martial arts disciplines, do not need a huge surface nor a lot of equipment to be played. Therefore, it is easier for the clubs to invest in such indoor sports that don’t need a 400m track for example.
We encourage other clubs to take this initiative in order to develop this sport in Lebanon!
