Instructors
Eric Lemoine
Brown Belt
Eric Lemoine has had extensive martial arts training that has spanned more than 20 years. In 1997, Eric commenced his journey in martial arts with Kickboxing training. In 2000, Eric began his Brazilian Ju-Jitsu (BJJ) training at the Rick Spain Defence Academy. In 2001, he trained under Professor Paulo Guimaraes, the first Brazilian born BJJ black belt teacher in Australia. Eric was thrilled to be one of Professor Guimaraes’ first Australia students and trained full time until he joined the Australian Army in 2005.
During his 9 years of service in the Army, Eric was deployed to numerous overseas locations. He also had the opportunity to be a Military Self-Defence Instructor where he instructed large numbers of Army personnel, both men and women, in self-defence focussed warm-ups and drills using Brazilian Ju-Jitsu techniques and simulated training. Eric also taught the Elite Special Forces Special Air Service Regiment Close Quarter Fighting and hand-to-hand combat.
In 2010, Eric began teaching BJJ at Aitkenvale PCYC in Townsville teaching classes to both adults and kids. Upon discharging from the Army in 2014, Eric introduced and grew BJJ membership in a Townsville martial arts gym to become one of the largest BJJ schools in North Queensland in just 3 short years.
In 2017, Eric decided to take his BJJ mentorship and teaching in a new direction and opened Fight Club Townsville (FCTSV) under the guidance of long-time friend and mentor Daniel Lima. Fight Club is one of the most successful BJJ franchises in Australia due to their modern training programs for all ages of students from kids through to adults and so this felt like the right direction for Eric and BJJ in Townsville.
Since opening, FCTSV has become a well-recognised name in the competition scene. Across North Queensland, Queensland and East Coast (Australia Wide) competitions, students have won numerous titles across multiple divisions including; champion kids team, champion adult team, overall champion team, as well as individual East Coast and State Champion titles at both kid and adult level.
In the future, Eric will continue bringing the latest training techniques to the students at FCTSV in order to help them achieve their life goals.
