Alexander, Judoka of the Month April 2026, on the mat at Todmorden Judo Club

Congratulations to Alexander, our Judoka of the Month for April 2026!

Alexander recently earned his yellow belt, and nobody deserves it more. He is disciplined, focused, and one of the hardest workers we have on the mat. When things get tough, he does not back down. He gets back up, resets, and goes again. Every single time.

There is a Japanese saying that captures Alexander’s spirit perfectly: Nanakorobi Yaoki. Fall seven times, rise eight. It is one of the great principles of budo, and Alexander lives it naturally. That is a rare and wonderful quality in any judoka, let alone one so young.

We are very proud of you, Alexander. Your yellow belt is well earned, and this is just the beginning.
