Misogyny. Over the course of my trial week, I took 2 beginner Muay Thai classes with Kru Yo, the head MT instructor, and a strength and conditioning class with Kirstie. The one star review is for Kru Yo; by contrast, Kirstie was an adept and welcoming instructor. My first class with Kru Yo happened at 8am, w/ 2 participants: myself, and another woman. This class was more or less okay, but there were two yellow flags that convinced me I needed to try another class before committing: (1) Kru Yo seemed interested in teaching via negative reinforcement, and his comments bordered on derision and semi-mockery. He would exaggeratedly mimic my movements (I had told him this was my very first class) and loudly say, "No! No! You don't do like this!" This happened repeatedly, but I actually chalked it up to him being a tough coach, since in other regards he was more or less attentive. (2) As a chastisement to relax my grip, he spoke to me in garbled Chinese (I am Chinese American, which is pretty obvious from my English; the fact that he chose to assume my background when he could've asked a simple "Where're you from" is...interesting). He also repeatedly butchered my name. I don't mind him butchering my name, actually, as long as there was mutual respect, but I was about to be shown how impossible that was. The second class was a non-stop sequence of red flags and I walked out feeling like I never wanted to set foot in FaMA again. The class was on a Saturday afternoon, so there were more participants: three men, who were a bit more experienced, one teenaged boy, who was also a beginner, and myself. (1) From the beginning, Kru Yo mocked me derisively. As we began the footwork drill, he said, "Stop! No!" and he pointed at me: "Your steps are too wide!" And he began to "copy" me, and I use that term lightly because it was rather mockery. He took gigantic steps with stiff hips & forced a laughable walk, almost stumbling over himself. "We don't walk like that!! No!" (2) He continued to do this, pretty much non-stop for the two "blocks" he had with us, and he also muttered to himself under his breath whenever I made a mistake. I became disturbed, because I noticed the contrast by which he treated the others, in particular the teen boy who was also a beginner. GONE was the mockery and the sneers; I believe I saw him acting--I could scarcely believe it--tenderly? I began to feel uncomfortable and stopped laughing at Kru Yo's mockery. Instead I stared at him when he made fun of me, signaling, "Please stop." (3) He grew somber after a few minutes of that, but then--too conveniently--gave me a pair of the most DISGUSTING gloves I have ever wore. (FaMA provides loaner gloves for the first week.) They were worn on the outside, and 5 minutes into wearing them I noticed an unquenchable metallic stench emanating from them. After about 20 minutes of tolerating the gloves, before we transitioned to partner work, I told Kru Yo about the smell and excused myself to wash my hands. He sort of sneered/snorted derisively and said nothing. This felt, at best, like negligence, and at worst, like retaliation for my resistance to his mockery. (After washing my hands I told the receptionist, Candy, that my gloves were quite smelly and she sort of victim blamed me by replying that I ought to just sign up for the membership, whose fees provide for a free first pair of gloves. At this point I can only laugh.) (4) Throughout the 60 min class, Kru Yo trained with me ONE time (compared to the 3/4 times he trained with the other beginner), and corrected me zero times on my posture/form, even as I struggled. He would literally stand with his back to me, facing the other beginner, while offering tips in a kind voice. I believe it's possible Kru Yo disrespected me for a combination of reasons--my gender, my ethnicity, and possibly just personally. But his behavior was egregious and unprofessional, and cannot be justified. I will be taking my business elsewhere, and I did not deserve this horrible, traumatic beginning of my Muay Thai journey.

The one week free trial was very useful for us to find out which days were suitable in terms of schedule and how the flow of the classes went throughout the week. My child (aged 5) thoroughly enjoyed the little tigers (muay thai) and little warriors (brazilian jiujitsu) classes. Most kids were repeated faces even for different days and they were friendly and very helpful to new friends in the class as well. The classes were fun for the kids, mixture of physical training and games and basic moves, while the coaches/professors were also firm when the kids misbehaved sometimes. The gym is cosy, very open, so parents could sit around and watch the children’s class or join the famafit class at the same time. There was also a small lounge with free coffee and tea to wait in. The staff and professors made us feel welcome and were very friendly and easy to speak to. The locker rooms are a tad tiny but clean and comfortable and fully stocked with basic shower room amenities. A big plus is its location, next to the fort canning dtl station which is very convenient for us. Prices for the day passes and the monthly subscription were reasonable as well. Will recommend this place to other parents for the children classes anytime!

My 6yo daughter and I have had a great experience at FaMA over the past 12 months and we have just renewed for another year. I highly recommend it. Fantastic coaches, great community vibe and a convenient location. So happy we found FaMA, we love it!

My 4 years old son did a few bjj classes. Very professional and kind coaches who motivate the kids and give confidence. And having a waiting area to sit down , have coffee and chill is just very thoughtful.

Gym has good atmosphere, clean mats, nice changing room. Coach Robyn was also very nice and professional. Also has a free trial week, the best trial deal you can find in singapore. Learnt alot there during my trial.

We have been looking high and low for a good martial arts school for my son. It is never easy to find a good one as coaching kids needs lots of patience and passion. We were very lucky to have found FAMA a year ago, my son enjoys the classes as the coaches are patient, gave instruction and guidance which are easy for kids to follow. They are very encouraging too. My son found the passion in BJJ through the journey with FAMA! Thank you FAMA!

I attended Brian's Muay Thai class while visiting Singapore. I had a great workout. The facilities are very nice, with large and clean locker rooms/showers and a water refilling machine. Would recommend!

We've been practicing here now for the last 4 years. The FAMA coaches deserve an unequivocal five-star rating for their exceptional commitment to nurturing young minds in the art of Jujitsu and Muay Thai. It is evident that these instructors balance discipline with a nurturing approach, creating an environment that fosters mental, emotional, and physical growth. The classes accommodate varying skill levels, ensuring each child feels both challenged and supported. I see that all these coaches genuinely care for each child's well-being. Patient and encouraging, they instill confidence and self-discipline in every child. Safety is paramount, with meticulous supervision to ensure correct technique application in a controlled manner. There is a huge emphasis on respect and a positive atmosphere where children thrive socially and physically. I receive regular communication on my child's progress fostering trust and active parental involvement. For parents seeking a martial arts academy that goes above and beyond, FAMA is the ideal choice.

I recently had the pleasure of interning at FaMA, and I must say that my experience was amazing. This fitness and martial arts gym is truly one-of-a-kind, and I can't recommend it enough. First of all, the facility itself is absolutely incredible. From the moment you walk in, you can tell that the gym is spacious, clean, and well-lit, with plenty of equipment and mats for all kinds of workouts. But what really sets FaMA apart is the quality of its instructors. Every single one of them is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping their students succeed. Whether you're looking to learn Muay Thai or BJJ, you'll find that the classes here are top-notch. I had the opportunity to attend several Muay Thai and BJJ classes during my internship, and I was happy with how engaging and challenging they were. The instructors were always willing to answer questions and provide feedback, and they did a fantastic job of creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. I would highly recommend FaMA to anyone looking for a great workout and a supportive community. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a complete beginner, you'll find everything you need to achieve your fitness goals here. Thanks FaMA for this opportunity.

Very good BJJ journey for my two kids over last 2 years in FAMA. Great communications with credible and dedicated coach.

Visited FaMA for the first time while in Singapore and glad I did. From the warm welcome at reception to the instructors on the mats and the mat culture of all the students everyone was warm, friendly and helpful. Great mat culture for any BJJers visiting Singapore FaMA has high level instructors coupled with a great mat culture for anyone including visitors. FaMA is located at a very convenient position at Clarke Quay just a short walk from either Fort Canning MRT or Clarke Quay MRT stations. Uniforms or gis are available for hire thus making it convenient for travellers to Singapore.

My kids have been training here for 2 years happily.

Thank you FaMA - Fitness and Martial Art team, for the wonderful experience. The coaches are excellent and knowledgeable in their respective fields. The staff are friendly and approachable. The place is very clean, thank you to the auntie too. The whole environment is welcoming and superb indeed. Great place + Great people = Simply irresistible

It was a real pleasure to take part in the trial offer at FaMA. I have never come across such a high level of professionalism and friendliness in all of Asia. I was able to try each of the lesson's offerings once, which gave me a taste of each of the classes. I also appreciate the care of the instructors, who were so great even in detailing the administration of applying hand wraps! I wish to thank the management for being so flexible and kind, I definitely recommend this environment to anyone thinking to not only try MMA but also to meet good people with a common goal of fitness and fun!

Been training here for ten months - excellent facilities, clean bathrooms/lockers, even have a service to have your kit washed and folded so its ready for your next lesson. But most of all - people are great, from the receptionists all the way to the instructors. Very patient, excellent at motivating, always happy to see you, and very aware of your injuries so that they don't push you hard on something you'll struggle to do. Other students are also friendly and its a very non-aggressive environment (well as non-aggressive as a martial arts school can get). Track record in competition also speaks for itself. They also have lots of guest seminars with workshops from top instructors from around the globe to seminars on how to train without injury, etc. They have good payment options for the casual student (1-2 times a week) as well as the addicts (unlimited pass). They have classes early in the morning (645) which is excellent for people like me who need to get to work early and dont have time in the evenings. Full disclosure I've only done jiu-jitsu here, but I hear good things about the muy-thai classes as well. Also hear kids classes are very popular/well run.

Fama is the first martial arts gym I ever trained at. after going for a trial to several martial arts gyms Fama really stood out with their friendly and helpful coaches , and outstanding staff. The facilities are very clean and I definitely recommend it for all newcomers. Fama has helped change my life and it has really help foster a love for Bjj and muay Thai in me Thank you FAMA team

Visited Singapore for the holidays and my kids and I trained at FaMA in BJJ through the reciprocal training program they have with SJJA Australia. The coaches here are extremely professional and approachable. The gym is also clean and well maintained, with ample space for parents to hang around while the kids train. There are plenty of shower and locker facilities, they also provide uniforms on loan for those training through the reciprocal program. They have a long list of gyms that they partner with for the reciprocal program and you can check their website for the official list. I highly recommend FaMA for anyone keen on taking BJJ or any other martial arts that they provide training in.

FaMA is a great place for anyone looking to train, either to keep/get fit or learn something new. Classes are paced quite well with professional teachers(experienced, knowledgeable and provides personal feedback), and be sure to leave the mat sweaty, smiling, with a sense of fulfilment and enjoyment! No worries though, their sanitary and well maintained showers are available, leaving you feeling fresh. To top it off, this gym has a really warm and approachable community!

I highly recommend FaMA Fitness! The quality of training is top-notch, with experienced and knowledgeable instructors who are dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential. The facility is clean and well-maintained. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive, making it easy to feel comfortable and motivated to train. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, you'll find the perfect workout and training options here if you are willing to pay the price. Overall, FaMA Fitness is a fantastic gym!

Great location, facilities, timetable and quality of training. Steve was super accommodating, helping me get sorted and Prof Thiago took me in and guided me like I was one of his own students. Amazing atmosphere, friendly training partners, staff and coaches. 100% recommended to anybody living locally in Singapore or visiting.

Its simply the Best! Simply show up there without thinking and in no time you will get addicted to it and become a part of thier family! Amazing guy's, awesome coaches and real good atmosphere. I can go on n on and write about but believe me, I recommend you just show up there and see for yourself!

Fantastic gym for Bjj , Muay Thai and fitness workout. Friendly instructors, staffs and nice cosy place to chill and make friends. 5mins walk from MRT fort canning or clarke quay. Above all friendly package to your pockets!..haha....dun take my word for it, check it out yrself.

The best Martial Arts gym in Singapore (I’ve only tried this one) In all seriousness the facilities and the Kru / Professors are world class. I truly admire the training environment and the training partners this academy produces.

As a woman traveling and training solo I felt so at ease as everyone was so welcoming. The culture and vibe here is warm and friendly. Training jiu-jitsu, everyone was great. Super technical and challenging rolls that made for awesome training. The coaches are world class. You can't go wrong here. Thanks for a great visit!!

Great place to train Jiujitsu and Muay Thai!!

I love this gym! So far, out of the the other martial arts gyms I tried here in Singapore, FaMA is — by far the friendliest environment, at the same time coaches are professional, of top caliber and have the passion for teaching and sharing the art of Jiujitsu.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to practice BJJ or Muay Thai. Very high level instructors, great staff and location.

my wife and i went for a trial class there and was very warmly greeted by counter staff, the instructor in charge for the BJJ Intro class was Robyn and he was very informative and lesson was very fun!

FAMA is a fantastic spot, especially for the little ones! My daughter was just a tiny four-year-old when she started her BJJ journey there. Fast forward to now, she's not only mastered a mountain of moves, but she's also made a merry band of buddies. And the cherry on top? She's blossomed into an incredibly self-aware and independent young lady!

FAMA is clean and located conveniently. They have a good variety of classes and responsible instructors. What I love most about them is the family atmosphere there. People do things with love and they respect each customer. I never felt any hard sell but friendliness and passion. Strongly recommend it to anyone who want to try martial arts!!

The best martial arts gym I’ve been to in Singapore!! Coaches are all friendly and very helpful during class, they make you feel welcome and always encourage you to do your best. Sign me up

Recently visited the gym from Taiwan, everyone was super friendly and skilled. Coach Thiago was on top of things correcting our mistakes and giving us useful tips throughout the class, I can't wait to visit again. Thank you to the FaMa team!

FaMA’s free trial week was by far the best Muay Thai and BJJ free trial I’ve attended. The instructors are super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to each individual’s skill level. People in the classes are also really nice, and everyone is genuinely there to push themselves and motivate each other to improve. The classes are physically challenging but incredibly fun and exciting. No hard selling needed, one week of trial was pretty much enough to convince me that I want to continue learning Muay Thai and BJJ. The dojo itself is also air conditioned and well equipped, and the vibe of the place is just really great. If you’re considering doing the trial, this is your sign to 100% go for it!! You won’t regret it, I seriously enjoyed my time with FaMA. Also thank you to Steve :)

Great facilities, with welcoming and friendly instructors, staff and trainees. Everyone made me feel welcomed and looked after each other's safety. Great community.

Bottom Line: Huge, clean space with cool people. I was in Singapore for 5 days, and I was hitting a different bjj gym each day. Once I found Fama, I spent my last 2 days here. It had the biggest mat space, they were super welcoming, it’s right by a major train station, and the drop-in fee was less than the other spots I hit. The Friday noon class was like an open mat with 5 black belts and a ton of other color belts. I got so many great rolls. Tons of people sat around afterwards,too, just chatting and sharing tips. I love a gym with community, and this is that type of place. I’m a 46-year-old, purple belt, American military guy, and the crew at Fama could not have been more welcoming. If you’re in Singapore come check them out.

My girl had been under FAMA bjj class for about a year. The coaches were friendly and encouraging, especially coach Robyn & Stephen! They made the classes fun & entertaining but not forgetting to instil discipline to the kids as well as their safety. Impressive! Also, thks to their assistant coaches for looking out the kids too 👍

My child has been training BJJ and muay thai with FaMA for 2 years now. We love the friendly and caring envrionment. Coaches/Professors are so experienced and patient with the kids. Great facilities and location. Highly recommend!

Singapore’s FaMA Fit is an exceptional gym. The facilities were extremely clean and the classes I took—intermediate and basic—were top-notch. Lots of partner drills and learning straight from instructors who’ve thrown down in Thailand, some of them actual legends.

From the first point of contact of reaching out through their website I was well taken care of in a professional and cordial manner. On arrival the Muay Thai coach quickly grabbed someone from the BJJ class to take care of me - point is I was never left hanging or wondering - little things like that matter. The facilities are top notch, as was the instruction. Everyone was super friendly coming up and introducing themselves. I cannot say enough nice things - thank you Steve and Robyn, and everyone else I met - can't wait to come back an train. Cheers

I had the privilege of training BJJ at FaMA in Singapore through their reciprocal program. Their gym and facilities are top-notch - really clean and well maintained. The service is excellent too, and I must extend my thanks to Candy for helping me with everything. I felt really welcome here. I joined the BJJ Basics class with Professor Robyn and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The class was well-organized and everyone received constructive feedback. The specific sparring was a highlight for me. Everyone I rolled with was really skillful and friendly. This place has a really great community, and I hope I get to visit again soon.

first class facilities (locker, shower, mat) and nice people to train BJJ with. feeling welcomed though visiting short-term. Great perks for helping with kids classed btw :)

Fast forward to March 2023: With the reopening of Singapore after the Covid -19 menace, I have returned to FAMA. I can declare that FAMA is alive and well and getting stronger and better than ever before! I have been back at FAMA for the past two months, and I see the place growing in strength and character. The same team is still putting FAMA ahead of the rest of the other gyms... the coaching staff is back with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Kru Yo's classes will only do one thing for you--- they will get you fitter and stronger and better-prepared to deal the challenges, physical and meta-physical, of everyday life. Kru Yo is Muay Thai at its finest! No wonder he is Thailand's Muay Thai Ambassador to the world. He focuses on all aspects of muay thai, paying equal emphasis to the mental dimension of this art while refining the physical forms of muay thai. His colleague Kru Bryan complements the muay thai program comprehensively. A session with Kru Bryan will only leave you in awe at what the potential of this art will provide for you. The other coaching staff in the BJJ program trains the students with great dedication. If you saw the camaraderie and interactions between the muay thai and BJJ programs, you will realize that this FAMA is the true total package that a gym of these sports should be. FAMA is my home gym and marital arts training center as long as I am in Singapore. Come join us and see what the best really is! 2019 December: I have now been a full-fledged member for the past almost 3 weeks. I started with the one-week trial membership. Beware of the trial membership — you will like this place too much to not want to continue training at FaMA. The coaching staff, the management team, and the club members make FaMA one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling places to get yourself into tiptop shape and make new friends along the way! Facilties-wise, this place is spotlessly clean and still looking brand new. The cleaning auntie is just as helpful as the rest of the FaMA team, and is always more than delighted to accommodate your needs for towels, laundry, and hot tea. During this time of COVID-19, the management team ensures the well-being of everyone by checking the temperature of all entering the premises. That is being very responsible. My respect for any business that takes its responsibility to the community in such a considerate and serious manner. I’m a senior citizen in my 60s and in fairly decent physical shape and condition. After 3 weeks with Kro Yo at Muay Thai training, I feel even more empowered and energetic than ever before. The instructor, Kro Yo, is a very engaging and professional individual. An hour with Kro Yo will leave you almost breathless but full of life for the rest of the day or evening. You will really appreciate the elegance and power of Muay Thai after training with Kro Yo. I can’t say enough good stuff about the BJJ instructors and the fitness instructor Kirstie. Not only are they totally competent, they also take the time to be sure that your safety is not compromised when engaging in the different exercises during training. Sadly, I shall be leaving Singapore shortly. But I look forward to my next trip back— to Singapore and to FaMA. I am so proud and thrilled that I have trained with world-class instructors at FaMA Singapore.

I’ve been hoping around Gyms to experience Martial Arts and I have to say, the MT here is not only fun and enjoyable but enriching at the same time. 1) the Coach. I’ve previously read a comment about the Thai coach saying how he was rude and making fun of a beginner but I’m here to tell you that that’s NOT true. Today was my first ever MT lesson and I have to say, He was not only nice but also funny. He is super friendly with all the beginners (3) of us today, and I can tell he cares about his students to a point he remembers their names. I’m definitely coming back for MT just for him. 2) The community members. They were all super friendly despite not interacting much. At the end to pay respects, we would greet and bow to each other and this is something I’ve not seen else where. Not only that, I had enquired about glove size and the members were super nice and even let me try their gloves to see what size would work for me for sparring. (I didn’t ask, they approached me to let me try them on.) This was one of the more welcoming and friendly communities, everyone is so friendly with each other. It’s my first ever trial but I’m happy to say, I would definitely return tomorrow and pay for the membership afterwards. Cheers!

FaMa was recommended by my head coach in Shanghai. I had a jiujitsu competition a week after I arrived in Singapore so I joined FaMa’s classes and rolled with the girls. The team is lovely. The girls were also very supportive when I said I was competing in a few days. I was cutting weight so close to the competition and they did not go crazy on me and let me do my drills. We still talk to this day. The evening before the competition, my teammate and I were given space on the mats to drill whatever we need to practice before the big day. It was overall lovely, welcoming and memorable. Whenever someone mentions they will visit Singapore, I always recommend FaMa.

Recently visited as a part of a training trip from Australia. Couldn't recommend this gym highly enough. Very clean and well kept with good mats. The coaches and other members were incredibly helpful and friendly. I only wish I had more time to stay and train. Thank you very much FAMA team for having me.

I've trained at a few gyms in Singapore, and FAMA is by far the most professionally run. Expert (and I mean world-champ) instructors, who also happen to be excellent teachers. I think at least a dozen other black belts who are very generous with their time to help you develop. Mature and relaxed (or as relaxed as you can be in combat sports) fellow members - both in BJJ and Muy Thai. Clean and robust facilities. Very flexible membership terms with regards to pausing when you are injured/traveling, go above and beyond like paying for your ibjjf membership, and they take feedback very well. Lastly, its an incredibly welcoming space from the front desk, professors, and other members. It's not cheap, but you get your money's worth in my humble opinion, you also make great friends along the way.

Decided to look for a place to do a drop in training as my regular gym was closed for holiday. The response was quick and I felt extremely welcomed despite the short notice. Very nicely managed and clean gym, training / workout was good as well.

Can’t rate them highly enough. I came in to do Muay Thai and then started BJJ. The instructors are excellent, really personalized feedback and I learned a ton more than I had at a popular gym franchise where classes just felt very routine and not so personal. I’d say the culture is really what sets FAMA apart. Starting BJJ everyone has been super patient, helpful and welcoming, while instructors have been really technical to build foundations and careful to show how to avoid risky situations for injury. Couldn’t be a better group or environment to get into the sport with.

Great place to train with fantastic trainer/Coach & trainees

Happy I signed up a bit more than a month ago. Great mix of classes for beginners and advanced students with manageable schedules even for working mums. Gives peace of mind that you can freeze the membership for a week when things get too busy. Very professional and approachable teachers, you get pushed but they keep things fun and motivating. Simply a nice and friendly atmosphere to work out, learn new skills and connect with people. And... gooood music! :-) Keep it up, you're all doing an amazing job!!

Fantastic. My daughter really enjoys her lessons here.

Chanced upon FAMA Fitness from Classpass and took a trial lesson from Kirsten and I must say she is such a patient & knowledgeable instructor. I voiced my concerns over a meniscus tear in my knee and she was attentive towards it. Truly enjoyed the training and took on a 20-day pass and enjoying still. The studio is kept neat and clean at all times, and see smiling faces all around. Good vibes, good energy ! Keep it up !

FAMA is the bees knees. Such nice people, great energy, and amazing workouts.

Fantastic gym for legit Muay Thai and fitness classes! Shoutout to coaches Kru Yo and Kirstie, who provided a motivating and encouraging learning environment to push you to your limits but with no judgment. Clean and sufficient showers for the crowd, free WiFi in a hangout lounge with hot water, sachet coffee and teabags. Overall great experience.

FAMA Singapore have been offering an amazing range of virtual classes since lockdown! I complete one/two classes most days from Muay Thai to Jui Jitsu Fit and then also the stretch/isometrics class. In the stretch class I explained that I was trying to train to do the splits and Thiago the coach adapted one of the session to give me hints and tips which I really appreciated! In the Muay Thai session coach Kru also adapts the workout for those of us that have tiny apartments!! In addition to that the social side of FAMA keeping in touch with us all through social media and weekend talks has been amazing! I would recommend FAMA to any martial arts newbies (like me!) to pros who want to talk and train with other fanatics missing the mats!!

When they say Famaly, they really mean it. They make the effort to learn each and every member's names. When Covid struck me, Coach Kirstie, Zoro and Steve were so encouraging - sending me recorded clips and even an exercise routine to do during my stay in the CIF. Even during the CB period, they made sure to stay in touch with their members as well as the kids by having Live sessions with everybody. Instead of having exercises all the time, they took care of all the psychological well-being of members by having fun cooking, painting and costume exercise sessions. This really helped in breaking the monotony of the CB period. Fama Forever!

Great gym! Clean, knowledge staff, and all around a great gym for martial arts and fitness. I highly recommend if you are looking to get in to shape but are daunted by other gyms.

UPDATE: I wanted to update my review to include the new classes during phase 2. FaMA has done a great job adapting to the current situation, every student get their own spacious workout area equipment that is disinfected before and after each class. Kru Yo’s Muay Thai classes are fun, technical and great cardio and even include safely distanced pad work which is appreciated. The BJJ classes have also been adapted excellently to the new regulations, I’m not normally a fan of solo drills but because they are so well thought out and explained and include the use of heavy bags you can really see how they will apply to your Jiu-Jitsu when grappling is allowed again. Super friendly and knowledgeable instructors and staff. The classes are well structured and on throughout the day so there is always one on when I want to train. Great community feel with the students here as well!

Our now 11 year old son has been attending for about a year, and we absolutely love the sport, the teaching program and the professors. Our son really loves learning BJJ and has been advancing in his skill level and developing a wonderful sense of confidence. I can't say enough about the multi faceted experience FAMA provides - we're so happy we got involved.

Clean, friendly and homely environment to train

Quality instructions & coaches! Great vibes.

Started out with a trial class which subsequently turned into a full registration. Have been wanting to try out bjj for some time but availability of Sunday classes were the exclusion criteria for some of the bjj schools in Singapore. I have tried out a couple of schools before trying out FaMA and I was impressed from the get go. FaMA is a great combination of excellent teaching/professiobalism plus great/clean facilities as well as the sense of community all in one place. Glad to have found this place.

Great place for doing BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and also really good for Muay Thai I really really recommend this place :)

We absolutely love FaMA .. FaMA coaches and are just awesome! They are firm yet kind. The whole FaMA culture makes you feel like a part of a family. So glad I found this place for my kids 😍

I’ve trained BJJ & Muay Thai for many years and in various gyms around the world. FAMA is the real deal. The BJJ coaches are top level and super cool guys and the Muay Thai is great too. I done the rounds when I moved to Singapore and found a home in FAMA. In addition to great coaching the vibe in the gym is ultra friendly and ego free. Also, there is no hard sell like the other gyms I went to check out. I got a 1-week free pass with no pressure. After that, I signed up for a year:) Top level gym, elite level coaches and cool training partners. What more could one want? Ticks all the boxes for me. Love it! 5-stars, highly recommend!

Excellent for martial arts and fitness with a top quality team of coaches, professors, instructors. Our entire family (kids and parents) are members and it serves as a really good gym that caters to the different needs across the family

My kid is enjoying the little warriors and little tigers class everytime. The instructors are lively and fun.. They can really get kids attention. The kids are having a fun time while learning. Kudos!

As someone who is involved in a customer-service business, I really appreciate the small things that tell me they understand what it takes to make a good gym experience. It's clean and it never smells funky. Clean towels. Reception always remembers you and greets you warmly. They're open on most public holidays cos they know enthusiastic students want to train when they have time. And last but really not the least, the trainers are encouraging, interested in your development, well qualified and know how to keep training fun. An added bonus are the seminars they organise around topics we are interested in to support our skills development and martial arts lifestyle.

Undoubtedly the best place to get your fitness up though Brazilian Jiujitsu, Muay Thai and the martial-arts inspired fitness classes. Friendly members, Super Instructors make for a really fun, sociable and enjoyable workout.

FaMA is everything a fitness and martial arts gym should be: clean, friendly and professional. Everything from the locker rooms to the mats and exercise equipment are constantly sanitised so there is no funky odour. The counter staff and instructors are also very warm and are more than willing to answer your questions about a class or a certain technique. Furthermore, the instructors take professionalism to the next level through their keen attention to detail. Every technique or drill is broken down methodically into simple steps so it's easier for you to follow. Additionally, they are excellent at spotting and correcting minor errors in your form that make all the difference in executing a technique successfully. If you're looking for a clean, warm and vibrant gym to level up your general fitness or combat skills, look no further than Fitness and Martial Arts Singapore.

Extremely friendly coaches who always go above and beyond to ensure that trainees feel comfortable. Kru Yo and Mark have made every session fun to work out a good sweat!

Great gym with highly skilled coaches that seem to enjoy the classes. They run single classes at a time, it’s therefore less crowded and you get to know people a lot better. Reminds me of Apollo Creed’s gym in Rocky 3😊

BJJ coaches were thorough in explaining and correcting each technique. Professional and highly skilled coaches maintained a culture of mutual respect in the gym. Shout-out to Robyn for checking on every student even when classes are packed and for being encouraging and supportive! Coach Zorro was also kind and down-to-earth, patiently correcting my moves and answering my questions. Unfortunately, classes are quite short and coach-student ratio is high which will be a challenge if you're looking to train competitively.

An awesome place to get fit and learn martial arts. Instructors are patient in correcting techniques and imparting knowledge. Everyone is friendly and approachable and is great to be motivated with like-minded people.

Loving Fama!!! =D Great ambience overall!!! From the time you walk in, you’re greeted genuinely and politely by the front desk staff. Always asking how your day is and the effort to always remember your name. The staff, Muay Thai coaches, BJJ professors, will treat you like family and will look out for you if you need any help. Such a family-oriented academy! I’m impressed with their way of involvement and engagement with their clients/members. The effort to set up birthday parties for the little ones, dressing up on Halloween with the kids and parents etc — you can tell they really care about making their clients happy and belonged. So glad to be a part of Fama! This place is a great place to start your BJJ or Muay Thai journey. 100% learning from these champions with multiple world-class experience/fights. You will learn and improve a lot as the coaches here will put in their all to teach with patience and ensure you learn the fundamentals and advanced techniques correctly. They are always making you feel comfortable making your own decisions as well! Thank you fama!

Great environment to learn! Great quality of classes and purposeful segregation in the levels of proficiency, awesome professors and fellow students.

This place is super ! I was so impressed with their kids bjj program that I decided to try the adults classes too. The Instructors are really warm and friendly, the front desk is really helpful , the facilities are top notch. Highly recommended. :)

From the free trial to the sign up it was a seamless experience. Brilliant set up inside and out. Kids all love it and incredibly experienced Instructors give students a balance between tough learning and fun.

Great vibe where everyone is a coach and helps each other progress!

I really liked the classes, you can sweat out all the extra calories and have fun at the same time. The trainers are excellent and the studio is well kept as well.

I joined FaMA on a free trial in a bid to learn martial arts and become fitter. One of the reasons I chose FaMA, other than the good reviews online, was the fact that they had morning classes before I start work. Being new to martial arts, I was apprehensive but on the first day of each class (BJJ and Muay Thai), any of such lingering feeling dissipated. The instructors (I've trained with Professor Thiago, Kru Ping and Kru Jerel) are approachable and helpful. The more experienced students are willing to partner me, give me guidance along the way and correcting my form and techniques. After the free trial, the experience was pleasant as well. Nobody tried to pressurise me with a barrage of sales pitch - in fact there was none at all. I was able to leave and make a decision, whether or not to sign up, on my own. Overall, as a tl;dr, I would say that FaMA is not just a school, it is, if i may say so, a martial arts community of martial arts practitioners and enthusiasts on its own. I would recommend FaMA to anyone who wishes to take up BJJ and/or Muay Thai.

My two girls attend the BJJ classes here. Though they were apprehensive at first, after the initial trial session they couldn't wait to go back! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the instructors are passionate in their teaching whilst ensuring the safety of the little ones. I had thoroughly searched online for a suitable BJJ class for my kids, though FAMA isn't the closest gym to my home i am very glad that we chose to join them.

Simple but nice environment. Did a trial week (only had my first Muay Thai lesson) and experience was ok but I’m the only first timer so not quite up the the standards of the rest. The toilet and bathroom are both clean but definitely not big. There are also lockers for you if you need one. The monthly fee is not cheap (price quite close to the material art training schools I’ve seen so far so to be fair, almost the same) but there’s daily pass options if ur schedule don’t allow u to actually go so frequently, which is what o may take on if I feel like going ahead after the trial week.

Awesome BJJ school for kids: End of last year, we were sourcing for a BJJ school for my girl who was turning 4 this year. We ended up with 4 choices, with trial classes to experience what BJJ is like, and how the lessons are taught to the kids. My girl was frightened by the first school due to the amount of sparring she saw. It felt like she will not like BJJ eventually. We got her to give the sport a try, allow herself to ask the coaches to teach her where she did not know how to. It was heartwarming to see how she approached the coach and informed that she did not know and will like to learn how. Eventually she chose FAMA based on her own experiences during the trial lessons. The coaches here are friendly, and willing to impart their skills. They are prepared to take a step back if they did not know why my 4 year old sometimes suddenly gets cranky from the long time spent travelling to FAMA after school on weekdays or just shouting out when she is excited. The place is easily accessible (near to the train station) and is kept clean all the time. My girl has now spent over 7 months at FAMA and still loving the lessons and the coaches. She has learned how to do flips, rolls, etc. Thank you!

My son just loves this place, the exercise and above all else the team of coaches..

Great coaches and facilities and a wide range of classes and times for my 4 year old. He loves it here.

My son has been going to FAMA for 3 years. He has developed skill as a martial artist, but he has benefitted even more from being exposed to a wonderful community. The professors and coaches are not just giving instruction in BJJ. They are mentors teaching valuable life lessons. We're grateful to be a part of this community.

FAMA gym is a great place for both adults and kids. The coaches are exceptional, providing guidance and motivation that make every session enjoyable. The gym offers a diverse range of activities for all ages, making it a perfect family-friendly destination. I appreciate the positive atmosphere and flexible membership options.

Excellent gym for kids and adults. So accomodating and welcoming. We don’t live in Singapore but they welcomed our son like one of their own students and he absolutely loved training and learning with the other kids. Very grateful for the experience thank you we’ll definitely be visiting again next time we’re in Singapore 🙏🏻

Excellent gym to start your young one on his/her journey in BJJ. Instructors and highly experienced and passionate. Lessons are conducted in a safe, fun and non-threatening way. My girl enjoys her BJJ classes immensely!

FAMA’s kids classes provide a wonderfully positive and safe setting for learning! The facilities are excellent and the instructors are experienced and knowledgeable. We’ll definitely keep coming back!
