Stopping an armed atttacker
We congratulate GIANT student Elvis Roda who overcame an extremely serious event that required his years of martial arts skills and determination.
In his words to describe the event:
Last October, in the process of delivering a subpoena, I found myself in a situation in which I was confronted with a knife by the person I was supposed to hand it to. He seemed to know what it was and evidently didn’t want it so he came at me. He came at me at a quick pace brandishing the knife and I just reacted by performing a knife defence move that I had been perfecting in class. It worked, as it made him drop the knife at which he froze and I grabbed the knife and threw it away. After some harsh words from me, he then went back in the house and I called the police. Ordinarily, I probably would have ran away from a situation like that, but, I guess, because I had been working on knife defence, I reacted instinctively. Would still advise to run from a situation like that, but it’s good to know that if getting away isn’t an option, I have a plan B.

Interclub Sparring Day
We have another combined interclub sparring session for Giant Martial Arts affiliate clubs.
The aim of the session is to provide students the opportunity to spar against someone they are not used to sparring in a safe environment.
The session will be mainly about giving you time ‘in the ring’ time to try and get the simple things right such as timing and distance.

Can Martial Arts benefit academic success?
Forbes Magazine did a study of CEOs in Fortune 500 companies over 50 years and found that the top 5% of these CEOs had 3 consistent traits. They either had a background in; professional competitive sports, the military or martial arts. There is a direct correlation between the skills learnt in these areas that can be applied to all aspects of life.
Do you not think your child needs these attributes to succeed academically?
Brothers Pavle and Misha Cajic are classic examples….read more
How many calories do my martial arts classes burn?
Martial Arts has been proven to be a good way to burn calories and shred fat. This article will provide real evidence from three GIANT Martial Arts male adult students.
One student had monitored his classes for a 6 month period.
Knowing this information can help you plan your diet around your training or at the least make you feel good about what is actually happening to your body in your classes.
