At just 15 years old, Milo Transon-Huet has become the newest black belt trained at the Arçonnay judo club in Sarthe, near Alençon, achieving the sport’s most coveted rank a mere five years after his very first steps on the tatami.
Stepping Onto the Tatami in Arçonnay
When Transon-Huet first walked through the doors of the dojo in September 2021, his stated goals were simple: to try a new sport and learn how to defend himself. Reporting from local media indicates that the connection was instantaneous, leading to immediate involvement in club activities.
After early promising performances in interclub competitions, he captured the Orne departmental championship during his second year of training. That regional success paved the way for him to enter the departmental sports section in Sées, accelerating his technical development under regional coaching frameworks.
Climbing Through Regional and National Ranks
His steady rise through youth divisions eventually earned him a spot at the Caen regional hopefuls training center (pôle espoirs de Caen). That transition yielded immediate competitive dividends when he claimed the Normandy hopefuls championship title.
Building on his regional gold, Transon-Huet advanced to the round of 16 at the French championships in his respective category. Reflecting on his ascent, the young judoka noted that he never doubted his trajectory because he knew his daily training efforts would eventually translate into results on the mat, aiming to show his family what he could achieve by giving his best.
Setting Sights on Cadet First Division
With his promotion to black belt officially formalized, Transon-Huet has outlined clear targets for the upcoming competitive season. His immediate athletic goals include securing podium finishes at national tournaments and earning qualification for the French Cadet 1st Division championships.
He has publicly credited his foundational club, his coaching staff, and his parents for providing consistent support through both victories and defeats. On Friday, September 11, 2026, club volunteers and members formally recognized his milestone achievement during the association’s open house event, cementing his status as a prominent ambassador for local martial arts development.
