"The G1 experience is a complete training well structured around physical fitness, Pekiti and firearms basics and tactics. It is equally enjoyable for those with or without experience in any of the fields covered during the training. The Pekiti training with highly qualified instructors was for me a great introduction and I still continue the training now, as the principles taught in the course go far beyond the scope of Pekiti and can be applied to any martial arts or self defense systems. The emphasis on footwork and its coordination with other techniques and upper body is an important part of the training which I found quite challenging but I ended up having great fun trying to make it work. The extra day of jungle survival was awesome and very instructive as an introduction and also shows how difficult a situation it can be to be in the middle of an environment that gets you out of your comfort zone. Overall, having participated in two G-1 sessions only made me join more of them as soon as I get the opportunity and although the days were tough and the nights quite short they were filled with unforgettable memories."
