PKCC Episode 107 - Vic Thériault

Punch Kick Choke Chat

Join us this week on PKCC as we sit down with Vic Thériault. Vic Thériault started martial arts in 1972, at 15 years old, with his brother Jean Yves at Therien Jiu Jitsu in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and became a Black Belt at the age of 18. Jiu Jitsu fighters were not accustomed to winning open karate tournaments but that changed in Canada after Victor won the first Wally Slocki Invitational at the Etobicoke Center in Toronto in a grand championship bout. Vic Thériault trained for over 45 years under Hanshi John Therien, and has been teaching martial arts for over 10 years. He holds a 3rd degree Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu, and is a 5th degree Black Belt in Professional Karate Association (PKA) Kickboxing. Joe Corley, Vic`s mentor and friend said, “Victor Thériault is a ‘Promoters Promoter’ with a promotional mind racing at 200 miles-an-hour, connecting dots and ideas and fighters and managers and media all at once. He is a pleasure to watch, and his results are among the best ever!” Today Vic Thériault is still considered one of Canada's top striking coaches and for more than two years he has worked closely with Georges St Pierre in Montreal. #PKCC #jujistu #karate
