Elevate Your Sparring with Mady Giroux - ITC 2025 Youth Instructor

 

Elevate Your Sparring with  Mady Giroux We are positively thrilled to announce Mady Giroux as another ITC 2025 Instructor for our young learners.  She will be leading a seminar designed to challenge, entertain, and educate. Known for her phenomenal work ethic and belief in the power of diligence, Mady's approach stands to inspire and energize all who participate in her seminar. Prepare to sweat, learn, and enjoy every moment. Mady Giroux started her martial arts training at the age of 2!! Now 16, her martial arts career is just starting to take off...  She earned her 1st Degree Black Belt at the young age of 12. Along the way, she developed a strong passion for point fighting. She chose to take this passion to the next level and recently started competing on the Naska circuit fighting at the biggest tournaments around the country as well as Canada just recently.  She is grateful to have a coach and mentor who has guided her through this next chapter, who she also gets to call Dad.  The United Fighting Arts Federation has led the way for Mady’s enthusiasm. She started competing at the ITC as a blue belt and has developed many skills from taking seminars throughout the years. She is so excited to share her skills, drills and experiences with the youth this year at the Rio!  Youth attendees, be prepared to sweat and work hard in this seminar. One thing that has helped with Mady’s success is her strong work ethic and understanding that nothing worthwhile comes easy and without tremendous effort. Mady will be working the kids through the various drills and exercises she uses for her own training. This class is guaranteed to be as fun as it is educational.  Everyone will have a chance to spar with her and her assistants towards the end of the seminar, trying out their new skills in a fun, sparring oriented game. Her goal is to help participants take their sparring skills to the next level while having an absolute blast. ITC Registration Opens February 1st!
