And he was able to develop their skills within a short period of time by performing the required movements with precision.

Ramadan added: With the passing of the first stage of training, we moved the players to the atmosphere of competition by setting up a local championship for them at the governorate level. Their performance impressed the experience of the game and showed a high ability to compete, and most of them participated in remarkable performances in the Disabled Festival, calling for attention to this category and providing participation. Required for them to increase their experience to compete in the future in international forums, especially in light of the great will that they arm with.

Al-Nasr club is considered one of the distinguished clubs in judo at the level of results in the local tournaments, because its players are competitors for the first places in the central tournaments, in addition to the brilliance of a number of its players in the foreign tournaments.
