Amanda Giblin

Amanda Giblin, our founder, is as fierce in her body as she is in her mind. She has studied martial arts since age 14 and continues her learning. She currently holds her Karate black belt (2nd Dan) and Muay Thai (Black - 2nd Degree).

Amanda has extensive experience as a trainer, coach, performer and choreographer. She is a highly respected stunt woman working in feature films, television, and live-action shows worldwide. With over ten years as Head of the Stunt Department for Village Roadshow Theme Parks, Amanda has managed, recruited, and trained hundreds of fighters, actors, dancers, athletes and stunt performers.

Her passionate teaching methods unleash her students' true potential. Ensuring every student develops strong physical skills and a genuine sense of purpose and empowerment. Whether she is in a classroom, one-on-one or with large groups, the likeable Amanda is not only knowledgeable but spreads contagious enthusiasm.

Often praised for bringing a positive spin to the undoubtedly weighted and sobering topic of gender-based violence. She specifically developed the Fierce Females programs to share knowledge from the vaults of dojos and psychologist couches in a safe and friendly environment. She simultaneously accommodates everyday women’s needs, capabilities, and strengths.

Her goal? To empower women to function with fear and then overcome it. Many leave her classroom feeling both Fearless and Fierce.
