The Basics

At the SMA Centre, students start off by learning the foundational principles of martial arts. Learning the basic techniques, stances and exercises are an essential part of one’s training, without which students cannot progress. Foundational learning starts with the simplest and most fundamental movements, upon which all others are based. Students start learning simple movements, such as stances, kicks, punches and conditioning exercises, and are made to perform these movements repeatedly until they become second-nature.
