Chris Pikis has been training with Tactical Defence Studios in Kobudo since 2009. As he continued his Martial Arts journey, his fascination of action packed movies and Martial Arts heroes continued to include the legendary Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and many more all of which incorporate traditional weapons in countless movie scenes. Chris could not wait to be a part of such training, but was held back to achieve the highest of standards and quality with his Karate training. At the age of 12, he pleaded with his father to allow him to take up the art, in such little time the grades achieved, Tournament results, understanding and application of the art speaks for itself. Today Chris continues to train side by side with his sister Andrea.
