From May 11 to 17, Arnaud Grisier, national U15/U18 coach, and Sébastien Girardey, High Performance National Technical Director, took part in the IJF Academy Instructor Certification in Pindamonhangaba, Brazil .

Organised by the International Judo Federation, this training is a mandatory step to be eligible to coach at IJF international events. It brings together coaches from around the world in a highly demanding technical environment and an intensive learning framework.

Over the course of a full week, the two representatives from Luxembourg followed a dense programme combining on-mat practice, educational exchanges, and practical coaching situations.

With this certification now successfully completed, the national coaching staff further strengthens its expertise, supporting the continued development and structuring of Luxembourg judo at the highest international level
