SMU Muay Thai
ABOUT US
Muay Thai, renowned for its emphasis on powerful punches, elbows, kicks, and knees, is aptly named the "art of eight limbs." It strategically utilises eight points of contact to strike the opponent with precision and force.
SMU Muay Thai stands as the oldest Martial Arts CCA at SMU. Whether your goal is to keep fit or pick up a new sport, we welcome you to join us.
