Votre Spa Salon (Patton Creek)

For the misguided few who insist that the French lack true grit, may we introduce you to Julien Pillet...Julien (Monsieur Pillet, to you) is a French sabre fencer and two-time Olympic medalist.

Although originally from Dijon (Burgundy), Julien discovered fencing in Los Angeles. As a teenager, Julien moved to LA with his mother. Unfortunately, he became the object of bullying by the Cobras, a menacing group of fencing students. In order to defend himself, Daniel asked the handyman at his apartment complex, Jean-Claude Miyagi, to teach him how to handle the sabre. Monsieur Miyagi taught Julien that fencing is mastery over the self (mind and body) and that sword-play is always the last answer to a problem. Under Miyagi's guidance, Julien learned the physical skills while gaining faith and the self-confidence to defeat "Johnny", the leader of the Cobras. Later on, he won Olympic medals and stuff.

They should totally make a movie about this guy.
