Arnaud and Simon Hadida

Arnaud and Simon Hadida, father and son, are both chess enthusiasts. Simon, 16 years old, passed on this passion to his father :"when he was little, we used to play chess by video when I was away. When we arrived in Deauville, he continued to practice during the extracurricular activities of the Fracasse school". And the training paid off: at only 14 years old, Simon became vice-champion of chess in Normandy and was selected several times for the French Championships. As a matter of course, Arnaud Hadida took over the presidency of the Echiquier Deauvillais club, of which his son is a member.

CHESSBOXING COURSES

They team up to teach and transmit their passion during Chessboxing workshops. In addition to boxing, the participants will learn to use the pieces well, to memorize simple technical schemes with a pedagogy that favors speed in order to win over his opponent. Their common objective: to desacralize chess and boxing, one seen as a game for intellectuals, the other as a sport for roughers.
