AN ISLE of Wight judo talent has earned the coveted black belt.

Alex Kujawa, of Totland, gained his British Judo Association First Dan black belt recently. 

Having first started the martial art at Ryde Judo Club, under the study of Sensei, Martin Holt, Alex was presented with a certificate to mark his achievement, at Freshwater Judo Club.

The West Wight club's Sensei, Su Webster, said: “We are so proud to announce Alex’s Dan grade." 

Alex was assisted by his brother, Thomas, for the extensive Kata exam, which is a requirement for the technical grade. 

Freshwater Judo Club is always pleased to welcome new members.
