Often described as the heart and soul of the EMA community, Pierre first joined Evolution Martial Arts in 2001 where his steadfast drive and dedication to training instantly attracted the attention of his instructors.
 
A stand-out student showing immense spirit, he has since developed into an equally impressive instructor possessing an old-school training attitude and a determination to see his students succeed.
 
In 2006, Pierre participated in both the NSW and Australian Championships and was also graded to 1st Dan Black Belt by Shunshuke Takahashi of the Japan Karate Association (JKA).
 
Outside of the dojo Pierre devotes much of his time to inspiring and educating young people through his involvement with the local youth swimming community, which earned him the 2004 Australian Lifeguard of the Year award.
