SMU MMA is a recreational CCA where its members can expect various self-defence art forms including muay thai and BJJ, in a fun way. We emphasise on achieving the balance between discipline and resilience during training but also creating bonds and friendship. SMU MMA hopes to instill in every member the courage to try, the discipline to train, and the resilience in practice.

 

BJJ: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a self-defense martial art form that focuses on groundwork, mainly through grappling and submissions. It relies heavily on the technique of the individual to manoeuver on the ground to immobilize the opponent.

 

Muay Thai: Muay Thai ('Thai Boxing'), is a martial art form that focuses on stand-up striking. It is similarly called the "art of eight limbs". Practitioners will utilise their fists, elbows, knees & shins as the main points of contact.

 

MMA: ‘Mixed Martial Arts’ is a combination of the various martial art forms available. Here in SMU, SMU MMA focuses on the education of mainly Muay Thai & BJJ to the SMU community for self-defense and their fitness.
