Jeanne Gall

Jeanne Gall passed on her Brazilian Sport Club responsibilities to continue her studies.

Biography

Jeanne Gall, Coline Dubreu and Léona-Lou Yves co-founded Brazilian Sport Club and organized a Brazilian jiu-jitsu seminar with Laurence Cousin, Le Télégramme reported in June 2019. The club traces its origins to schoolgirls who wanted to continue grappling and krav maga after introductory sessions in 2018. Mats laid outdoors made practice possible locally, without traveling to Brest. In the first season, training rooms had no permanent mats; the equipment arrived by van. In its 2019–20 history, the club records Gall and her fellow founders passing responsibility to others so they could continue their studies.
