Why Giroux Bros.
You train under the man who trains instructors for Chuck Norris's federation.
Steve Giroux is an 8th Degree Black Belt in Chun Kuk Do with over 40 years of training.
He is a three-time Grand Champion at the UFAF International Training Conference, won the Norris Cup in 1999, 2010 and 2011, received UFAF's Wieland Norris Award, and sits on the UFAF Board of Directors as Director of Professional Development.
His job at the federation is raising the standard of other schools. In Wilbraham, that standard is your Tuesday night class, scaled to whatever shape you walk in with.
Self-Defense That Works
Chun Kuk Do technique drilled until it holds up under pressure, not just in the mirror.
Conditioning As A Byproduct
Strength, wind and mobility built by training, not by counting reps.
A Real Ranking Path
UFAF belt standards give you a goal bigger than 'go to the gym more.'
Beginners Are Normal
Most adults start with zero background. Nobody here is watching you learn.
Stress Goes Somewhere
An hour of focused training clears your head better than another hour of scrolling.
A Team, Not A Membership
People notice when you miss class. That's what keeps adults coming back.
The Real Lineage
Not Inspired By Chuck Norris.
Trained In His System.
Lots of gyms borrow the name. Giroux Bros. Martial Arts is an official Chun Kuk Do school of the United Fighting Arts Federation, the organization Chuck Norris founded. The curriculum, the belt standards and the testing all come straight from it.
Steve Giroux sits on the UFAF Board of Directors and has won the Norris Cup three times. Mady Giroux became the youngest Norris Cup winner ever, at 18. When you train here, you are two handshakes from the man himself.

An Hour That Actually Changes You
Bow In
Leave the workday at the door. Line up, bow in, focus.
Conditioning
Bodyweight work, core and mobility. Hard enough to count, scaled to you.
Technique
Strikes, kicks, blocks and combinations from the Chuck Norris System.
Partner & Pad Work
Apply it on pads and with a partner. This is where self-defense becomes real.
Bow Out
Cool down, bow out. You leave tired and clear-headed.
UFAF
Board-level instruction
Start At Your Level
Hard Training. Smart Progression.
No Day-One Sparring
Contact is introduced gradually, with gear, once your fundamentals are solid.
Scaled To Your Body
Old injuries, stiff hips, years off. Tell us, and we'll train around it.
Evening Classes
Adult training runs in the evening so it fits after work.
Earn Something You Can't Buy
A black belt from a Chuck Norris System school isn't handed out. It's earned in front of people who know the standard.
A Body That Works
Stronger, more mobile and harder to knock off balance, at any age.
Confidence Without Bravado
Knowing you can handle yourself means you rarely need to prove it.
A Team, If You Want One
Giroux adults test, compete and travel to UFAF events together.
Parents Are Amazed
Real Wilbraham
Families.
"Steve Giroux and the whole team are kind, caring, professional, and very talented. They have become wonderful role models in our daughter's life. She is not only learning an invaluable skill set to protect herself but also learning life lessons in perseverance, exercise, confidence, and self-control."
— The Kellogg Family
"Moving to Giroux Brothers from a different facility was a great choice for our son. Steve and his staff are patient, yet firm with the students, giving them the direction and guidance they need to grow."
— The Wrights
"She is small for her age, but you would not know it. She has learned a lot of discipline and has gained more self confidence that has carried over into the other areas of her life."
— The Pafumis
