My two daughters and I train Hapkido with the fantastic instructors at Giant Martial Arts. My youngest daughter, who has only just turned 6, has been training with Giant Martial Arts for about 6 months. She has responded fantastically to the disciplines that Giant Martial Arts strive to instill in their students. In particular the onus on self-control has reinforced what her mother and I have been working on with her at home, and it has resulted in a marked improvement in her academic life. She also enjoys the camaraderie with the other students, and particularly enjoys the games the class plays at various stages of the lesson. My eldest daughter who is soon turning 9 years old, has been training with Giant Martial Arts for over 3 years now and has achieved the level of Advanced Blue Belt in Hapkido. Participating in multiple lessons every week for the last 3 years has left a highly noticeable effect on her physical fitness, she is stronger and fitter than most kids her age. This results in excellent achievement in sports, particularly athletics, at school. She has confidence in herself and her abilities. She rarely lets intimidation affect her, and this results in her being selected in leadership roles at school, she has even remained calm and non-violently diffused bullying situations with older kids at school. I have been training with Giant Martial Arts for over two years now. After watching my eldest participate for a year, I decided to sign up and join in the adult class. Since then I haven't looked back. I have quit smoking to better my fitness, and I have lost weight, much to my wife's delight. I am now fitter than I have ever been. The classes are fun and I have met some people who I now call mates. The best part of the classes is the way everyone supports each other's training experience, egos get left at the door. I wouldn't hesitate at all to highly recommend, as a father and student, Giant Martial Arts to anyone interested for themselves and/or their children."
