Our Mission: Martial Arts Excellence in Rural Communities

Durance Sports de Combat is a registered non-profit association (Loi 1901) dedicated to the teaching and development of martial arts in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region. Since our founding in November 2012, we have worked to make combat sports accessible to everyone, with a specialized focus on promoting athletic opportunities in rural areas.

Our club is a center for personal growth where the values of respect, courage, and solidarity are at the core of every training session.
