Judo Proud: Enzo Achieves Black Belt Milestone

In a significant milestone for any judo enthusiast, Enzo, a first-year junior, has just obtained the final points needed to validate his Union des Ceintures Noires (U.N.C.) 3 grade, completing his journey to a black belt.

From Colored Belts to Black Belt Status

Enzo’s judo journey began at an early age within the AD 71 club, where he embarked on a normal progression through colored belts. Over time, he secured each grade, including the brown belt, which allowed him to pass and obtain all required U.N.C. points.

Enzo’s journey is not just about earning a black belt; it’s about his passion and involvement in the sport. He has actively participated in competitions such as the BFC juniors and 3D seniors championships. Off the mat, Enzo has shown initiative and responsibility, becoming a young referee and helping out wherever possible within his club.

We’re incredibly proud of Enzo’s dedication not just to his own growth but also to the sport and his club.
