Joerie "The Shark" Mes (born March 16, 1979) is a Dutch former welterweight kickboxer, fighting out of Mike's Gym in Amsterdam.

He is a former Dutch and European Muay Thai champion who later competed in K-1 MAX.

He is widely regarded as one of the greatest combination specialists in kickboxing history.

After his kickboxing career he worked as a history teacher in Amsterdam for several years.

As he felt field hockey was not for him, he tried soccer for a short while, before he got involved in kick boxing.
