Mattox Pugh
Nikyu
Mattox began judo at the age of five and has spent the last two years serving as an assistant instructor. A rising student at Uni High, he’s become a favorite among the kids’ class thanks to his patience, energy, and sense of fun. Known for his impressive knowledge of Pokémon and anime, Mattox brings as much enthusiasm to the mat as he does to his other interests. He has competed in both kata and shiai, with tai-otoshi as his favorite throw. Outside of judo, Mattox plays in the youth orchestra, competes in archery tournaments, and enjoys drawing.
