Feedback from :

I was glad of the opportunity to bring together a large group of both Japanese and French children at INSEP where usually the top athletes of France train for this Sports For Tomorrow Event. I am sure it was a very valuable experience for all the children who participated. I was able to see that there is a special kind of power in judo and in sports.
