A Chuck Norris System school in Wilbraham, run by a father and daughter who have both won the Norris Cup. Your child learns the standard from the people who set it.
01 / Why Wilbraham families choose Giroux Bros.
Most schools tell you their instructors are qualified. Steve Giroux is an 8th Degree Black Belt in the Chuck Norris System, a three-time UFAF Grand Champion, and Director of Professional Development on the UFAF Board of Directors — and he's promoted over 100 students to black belt. He opened this Wilbraham dojo in 2019 to bring the same standard to Western Mass.

Chun Kuk Do through the United Fighting Arts Federation — the system Chuck Norris built, taught by one of its board members.
Belts here are earned against UFAF standards, not handed out on a schedule.
The line our parents repeat: enough structure to give kids direction, enough warmth that they want to come back.

Steve Giroux has trained for over 40 years in the Chuck Norris System (Chun Kuk Do).

"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
Wilbraham
"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."
