Over the last decade, GIANT has hosted multiple Women's Self Defence Workshops to help raise thousands of dollars in funds and awareness to stand against violence to women.
The Moving Forward Foundation is a specialist case management service for women and children who are experiencing, escaping or have left domestic and family violence. They are committed to helping to drive change in attitudes and behaviours that lead to violence in many women's lives. Our support is critical and plays an important role in preventing men's violence against women and creating a future where all women live in safety free from all forms of men's violence.
GIANT coaches with years of experience in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA and Hapkido have now formulated a fully tested curriculum for ladies to train on a regular basis to give women awareness info breaking down stages from the verbal threat to learning efficient technique to survive the physical threat.
