5 simple steps to get you started...

Step 1 - View the Academy Tour

Get a view from front to back through the entire academy with details on where to put your belongings, the different programs and ranking systems, where to line up, bowing on and off the mats and get a look at the different classes you can experience...enjoy!

Step 2 - Read your curriculum

The Weapons curriculum can be found at the academy. There are many weapon systems taught at GIANT. We will help you get through your curriculum to attend a grading test for the next level.

The breakdown of all the Weapon Systems are as follows:

Knife
Short Stick Police Baton
Medium Stick (Kali)
Twin Stick
Machete
Cane
Long Staff
Nunchaku
Double Nunchaku
Sword
Rope/Towel Flexible Weapons
Throwing Weapons
Archery

Each weapon course you complete will grant you a coloured chevron you will place on the left upper arm on your training t-shirt.

Step 3 - GIANT Online

To help guide you through your skills on each level we offer you the complete curriculum on demand 24/7 on your phone, tablet, laptop or computer!

GIANT Online has all the techniques across multiple martial arts styles set into a step by step logical, clearly defined, systematic curriculum from white to black belt and beyond. Over 900 training videos with countless hours of footage.

Great value for money at less than a bottle of water per week.

Step 4 - Grading test

Once you know all the moves and have sufficient attendance you will be ready to grade. We run grading tests every 3 months across 4 terms of the year. Remember to wear your GIANT T-Shirt and pack your sparring gear including specific gloves and headgear.

The next grading test is normally on the calendar at the academy or you can ask your instructor. Even if you have joined halfway through a Term, there may still be a chance you could make grading if you know your moves but do not have sufficient attendance. We can make up attendance via private lessons.

We find that students who regularly get to class and are also learning online generally get through.
