Sihing Cameron Giles has 20 years experience in martial arts
"Over the years I have done a variety of different Martial Arts including Preying Mantis, Systema- The Russian Martial Art and Mauy Thai.
My first lesson in martial arts was Wing Chun at Coolum Beach in 1997 (Queensland) under Sifu Branko (Sifu Branko was trained under Wing Chun Academy). I trained under Sifu Branko for a month.
My next training journey was in Preying Mantis at Nambour (Queensland) in 1999 under Sifu Glenn (Sifu Glenn was trained under Grandmaster Henry Sue) I trained under Sifu Glenn for approximately three months.
I then relocated in 2000 to Armidale (New South Wales) where I met Grandmaster Anthony Kelly (Anthony Kelly was trained in Hung Kuen ( 5 Animals) by Jimmy Ng) I obtained a Black Belt in Hung Kuen on 4th March 2014. I still train under Grandmaster Anthony Kelly once a year.
I spent three years in Campbelltown (New South Wales) and found the people not very friendly and was accosted and assaulted numerous times.
In 2005 I moved to Redcliffe (Queensland) where I met Aaron Ellis ( Aaron Ellis was trained in Mauy Thai by Vikings Instructor Robbie Tidyman). Aaron continues to teach me Mauy Thai and Systema. Aaron learnt the Russian Martial Systema and learnt Systema through Andrew Syderhelm -Systema Australia.
In July 2007 I moved to Caboolture (Queensland) and met Sensei Christina Marshall (Sensei Christina Marshall was instructed by Sifu Brett Fenton). I achieved Black Belt in Wing Chun Kung Fu on 3rd September 2011 from Sifu Brett Fenton but I continue to train under Sensei Christina Marshall.
As a child I moved interstate three times and I was an under weight and size structure compared to my peers.
The main things I like about training at Phoenix Rising are fitness, learning to protect myself, assisting in classes to pass on knowledge, seeing people achieve their goals, meeting new people with similar interest and having fun.
My goals in Martial Arts are to protect myself well, help with passing on knowledge in classes and one day in the future I would like to open my own school. I continue to learn new things at Phoenix Rising."
