SMU MMA is a recreational CCA where members learn various self-defence art forms including MMA (striking) and BJJ (grappling). We place emphasis on achieving the balance between discipline and resilience, together with forming bonds and friendships. SMU MMA hopes to instill in every member the courage to try, the resilience to train, and the discipline to practice.  

​

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a self-defence martial art form that focuses on groundwork, mainly through grappling and submissions. It relies heavily on the technique of the individual to manoeuvre on the ground to immobilise the opponent. 

​

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.
