CONGRATULATIONS to Giles Snedker on achieving his 1st Dan Black Belt.

Giles was attacked and stabbed in the back three times some three years ago, while out with his wife for dinner, by a drug addicted 20 year old. Giles came within millimetres of being paralyzed from the waist down. He has shown astounding will and perseverance to over come the mental and physical obsticals to gradually get back the use of his legs despite losing all feeling in his lower left leg. Outstanding effort Giles, and congratulations from everyone in the club.

Giles is an outstanding person who is admired by all our instructors and students. Giles regularly trains and teaches at our Doubleview and Kingsley Clubs.
