Welcome to the Aussie Karate Kid
KARATE exponent Chris Pikis has been dubbed by a TV network as the new “karate kid”.
The 13-year-old from Preston’s has become a media star since the Leader broke the story on October 7, 2009 about Chris using his karate skills to fend off an attempted abduction.
Chris featured in a story broadcast on Channel nine news followed by a live interview in the studio by Today show host Lisa Wilkinson. He has also appeared on the Kerri-Anne Morning Show, taken part in a re-enactment for Channel nine reporter Chloe Bugelly, and recently interviewed by Kristie Carter on Weekend Today.
Dubbed the “Aussie Karate Kid”, in reference to the US cult movie series Karate Kid, starring Ralph Macchio as the karate kid Daniel LaRusso and Pat Morita as Mr Miyagi, Chris has become an instant celebrity.
As the media attention continues and general public interest grows Chris with the help of his Father have developed this site. To keep everyone informed with the latest news and to make, other children more aware of stranger danger. He hoped he would be able to give others the confidence to say no to a stranger.
"If they do not know karate, they should be confident and scream for help and do anything they can to get away."
"[It] has completely changed me and the way I think. It makes me want to help other people avoid what happened to me," Chris said.
He has recently swapped his karate weapons for hamburgers appearing as The Karate Kid, putting a smile on dozens of children’s faces at the Prestons McDonald’s McHappy Day, helping support the annual fundraising event which raises money for sick children and their families.
Chris kindly asks for your support with his latest challenge ahead, of raising funds for The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, please spread the word to as many people possible as every dollar counts. 100% of all donations go directly to fund.
Remember, The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.
