Il devient à 17 ans champion de France juniors. C'est en 1986 qu'il part effectuer son service militaire au célèbre bataillon de Joinville (Ecole Interarmées des Sports) il deviendra cette année-là champion de France militaire, champion de France et d'Europe juniors. Les années passent et il ne cesse d'accumuler les titres. En 1993, Christophe PINNA décroche son premier titre mondial à Alger en remportant la Coupe du Monde. En 1994 en Malaisie, la France, avec Christophe PINNA, remporte le titre de champion du monde par équipe. La France, toujours avec Christophe PINNA, renouvelle l'exploit en remportant pour la seconde fois le titre suprême à Sun City en 1996. Le 4 mai 1997 à Ténériffe, Christophe PINNA entre de plein pied dans l'histoire du karaté en remportant son troisième titre consécutif de champion d'Europe "toutes catégories". Ce qui lui fait un total de six titres européens. Quelques mois plus tard à Manille, il décroche le titre mondial "toutes catégories". Un an plus tard, jour pour jour, la France remporte pour la troisième fois consécutive les championnats du Monde. C'était un vendredi, le 16 octobre 1998 à Dès son retour du Brésil, le Président de la République, Monsieur Jacques CHIRAC, nomme par décret au grade de Chevalier dans l'Ordre National du Mérite, Christophe PINNA, pour couronner sa brillante carrière sportive mais aussi pour les excellents services rendus à la cause de la jeunesse, ainsi que son engagement dans la lutte contre la drogue et la délinquance. Le 14 octobre 2000, à Munich, Christophe remporte le titre suprême de champion du Monde « toutes catégories » et décide de mettre fin à sa carrière de sportif de haut niveau. Il part aux U.S.A. pour entraîner l'équipe national, puis rentre en janvier 2001 en Europe pour être entraîneur national de l'équipe Grecque. En juin 2001, sous contrat de cadre d’Etat au Ministère des Sports, il rentre en France pour occuper le poste d’entraîneur national. En novembre 2001, il est nommé par la Fédération Mondiale de Karaté, Représentant Mondial des athlètes. En Aout 2005, Christophe PINNA quitte ses fonctions d'Entraîneur National des Equipes de France. Dans la foulée, il est sollicité par TF1 pour assurer les cours de sport auprès des élèves de la 5ème promotion de la Star Académy. En novembre, Christophe PINNA est promu Officier dans l'Ordre National du Mérite par le Président de la République. Actuellement, en qualité d'expert mondial de karaté, ce passionné partage son temps à enseigner le karaté de compétition à travers le monde et participe activement à son entrée en tant que sport Olympique. Parallèlement, Christophe est le "coach" personnel de différentes personnalités issus du monde sportif, de l'entreprise et du spectacle. … A MATTER OF "STYLE" "Invented” Kata. Various thoughts. The solution: tolerance and respect. By Carlo Henke I was not a kata champion but I had good masters, I arbitrated five World Championships and about fifty Continental Championships at a top-level and, first and foremost, my dojo gave rise to different experts and athletes, who are now famous all over the world. Therefore I believe, without false modesty, to have the necessary requirements to tackle a problem which is as knotty as current: "style's" wars between different schools. A long time ago, Shoto, Shito, Goju and Wado competed together. Since then a lot has changed. In Italy the experiment of the so-called "invented kata" was performed, other organizations divided the styles bypassing the comparison between charming and rude kata typologies. Let's start from what we consider to be an untrue cliché, the invented kata. I saw athletes following this line both live and on video. They performed style kata with slight variations. They performed them good, with a marked athleticism but with a considerable perfection and interpretation. Invented things were rare: but great athletic performances induce inevitably to leave out details connected with fundamentals. And the others? Some ultra-traditional organizations retreated on talebans positions: this is the way it must done, full stop! Who bends the finger more than the due is wrong. Other divided the styles avoiding that wado or shotokai athletes compete with shotokan, shito or goju: a valid system to allow everyone to aspire to a medal and to safeguard, with this stratagem, styles which are in visual crisis as far as the beauty of kata, end in itself, is concerned. This is the line I personally suggested years ago and which the Wuko of President Osvaldo Messias De Oliveira adopted with great satisfaction of the member nations. At first seemed that problems were over, competitions passed quickly with great satisfaction of everyone, the first impact brought a wave of new ideas and a flush of enthusiasm: styles were no longer mixed among them, everyone had the same opportunities competing within the ambit of a sole style: their style. Praises were wasted but in the last Championships things started to go wrong again. Let's see how and why. After an initial euphoria the various styles began to raise complaints again forgetting that today in the Shotokan exist substantial differences between kata taught by Nishiyama and those taught by Kanazawa or Shirai, that in the Shito the great Keiji Ogasahara and the departed Teruo Hayashi promoted two different systems, that in the Wado the kata by Suzuki are different in comparison with the ones of other schools: only the clever Kando Shibamori, emerging leader of the Wado, showed himself to be tolerant towards the teaching methods of the various schools. Even the Okinawa goju has substantial variations, not only in comparison with the Japanese goju of Gogen Yamaguchi's (called "the cat") heirs, but also in comparison with other goju schools: in the Jkf, Japan Karate Federation, athletes perform the kata they want. Wakai Atzuko, female World Champion in the Goju ryu style, in her competitions performs the kata of master Sakumoto's school. The World Union of Karate do Organizations has an explicit rule: the Wuko recognizes the small variations of all karate schools in the world provided that the kata bunkai is respected. A logic solution, which is not always considered. To many experts lobbys referees trying to enhance the features of their "schools" regarding small, irrelevant variations. In the kata absolute certainties do not exist, masters are different, athletes are different: nobody, as good as can be, can arrogate to him/herself the right to claim "I'm the sole repository of truth". Which are the possible solutions to be adopted before that the situation gets worse? First of all to follow the rules: if it is fixed, that the major world schools have to be respected, this has to be done. Which are the assessment criteria to observe? Always the ones set out by the rules, avoiding to get lost in questions about being open-handed or tight-fisted. And the criteria to value the best athlete? First of all interpretation and martial expertise, then the athletic performance based on power, rhythm, kime, precision and so on, following every point of Wuko rules. Last but not least, the common sense. It's easy to identify the champion without being afflicted by personal advantages connected with schools or self-interests but it is even easier to identify the champion with a good deal of sense, moderation and tolerance towards other people. Sympathy and respect to the work done by others are the basis of concordance and good harmony. Little would be enough to give to the discipline of karate a stimulus, to unite instead of dividing. Yes, but only if financial selfinterests, once and for all, are packed away forever. After all, it's just a matter of www.wacoku.com style……….
