He started judo 2 years later. Very gifted, he joined the CREPS of Ch\u00e2tenay-Malabry in 1990.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He became French Champion in 1992 and joined the INSEP in 1993. That same year, he set a record by winning the European Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He finished 3rd at the World Championships, in the -78 kg category. He was again French Champion in 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1996, he won the Paris Tournament, and took part in the Olympic Games in the -86 kg category, but was unfortunately eliminated in the quarter finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Darcel in warrior mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Various injuries prevented Darcel Yandzi from returning to the podium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in 2001, he made a winning comeback by obtaining his <strong>3rd French Championship<\/strong> title. He also placed 7th at the World Championships in the -81 kg category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yandzi decided in 2003 to retire and move to the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He became coach of the England and then Scotland teams and stayed there for ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He returned to France in 2013, mainly at the request of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alljudo.net\/judoka-3097-legrand-ugo.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ugo Legrand<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alljudo.net\/judoka-722-riner-teddy.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Teddy Riner<\/a>, to whom he is very close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DARCEL-FF-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DARCEL-FF-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DARCEL-FF-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DARCEL-FF-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DARCEL-FF-920x518.jpeg 920w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/DARCEL-FF.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Darcel and Fighting Films<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the launch of Fighting Films in France in 2017, Darcel Yandzi has been one of those ambassadors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proudly wearing the <a href=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/\">Fighting Films<\/a> logo everywhere he goes, he makes instructional videos of his favourite moves for the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always with his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightingfilms.shop\/en\/product\/judogi-superstar-original-920-gr-fighting-films\/\">Superstar Original<\/a> from Fighting Films during his workshops or during his classes, he is one of our most loyal customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Darcel-Yandzi-1-1-1024x682.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Darcel-Yandzi-1-1-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Darcel-Yandzi-1-1-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Darcel-Yandzi-1-1-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Darcel-Yandzi-1-1-1536x1022.png 1536w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Darcel-Yandzi-1-1-2048x1363.png 2048w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Darcel-Yandzi-1-1-920x612.png 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">A judogi in the image of Darcel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Darcel&#8217;s Superstar Original judogi is fully customised and branded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the level of the heart, there is the flag of France which represents his homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8282\" style=\"width:354px;height:159px\" width=\"354\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-1024x462.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-768x347.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-1536x694.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-2048x925.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fightingfilms.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220112_160736-1-edited-920x415.jpg 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>On the sleeves, below the Fighting Films logo, there are Bible verses written.
