Christophe Pinna Brings “Nouveau Round” to Menton: A Show About Karate, Life and Resilience

From the discipline of karate to the spotlight of television, through sporting victories, personal challenges and the strength to overcome life’s toughest moments: Christophe Pinna is bringing an extraordinary life story to the stage with “Nouveau Round”, a show scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, in Menton.

The event will begin at 8:15 pm at the Salle Saint-Exupéry, where the former world karate champion will take audiences on a journey through his life, combining personal anecdotes, surprising stories, humour and moments of reflection. More than a celebration of sporting achievements, the show offers an intimate account of the experiences, challenges and emotions that have shaped the man behind the champion.

Christophe Pinna: From Karate Champion to Life’s Greatest Challenges

After years of training, dedication and international competitions, Christophe Pinna reached the highest levels of karate, winning the world championship title across all categories.

In “Nouveau Round”, he will look back on the most significant stages of his journey, from his early days in the sport to the experiences that took him onto the international stage. His story will also explore his television career, an important chapter that introduced him to a much wider audience.

Another central theme will be his personal battle with illness, an experience that profoundly affected his life. This part of the show brings a particularly human dimension to the performance, highlighting courage, determination and the ability to find new motivation even in the most difficult circumstances.

“Nouveau Round”: Humour, Emotion and Untold Stories on Stage

The title of the show evokes the idea of a new round, another challenge to face in life, much like the rounds of a karate competition.

Through memories, personal revelations and little-known episodes, the performance moves between light-hearted moments and deeper reflections. Humour accompanies some of the most surprising stories, while personal experiences become an opportunity to explore resilience, inner strength and the ability to get back up after a setback.

Audiences will discover a different side of Christophe Pinna: not only the champion accustomed to winning, but also the person who has faced difficult moments and learned to turn challenges into opportunities for growth.
