We've been asked a lot.. Why the name Pineapple MMA?
In Thailand – the home of Muay Thai, pineapples are everywhere. We wanted a name that is memorable. We wanted a place that feels refreshing and welcoming for anyone to train in. We want people to ask the question – why Pineapple?
Martial arts gyms have often been typecasted as male-dominated, aggressive and gritty. Being around many high-level martial artists, we know that this couldn’t be further from the truth. Many of them are some of the most humble, relaxed and disciplined people we know. Kind of like a pineapple – tough and spiky on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside!
Our trainers are pro fighters and trainers from elite global martial arts organizations.

Ernst Osinga
Marketing Professor
The level of coaching at Pineapple MMA is very high, but it's also a very friendly environment. Muay Thai is very good for releasing my stress. I think, some people like yoga to feel a sense of inner peace... I actually feel more peaceful after kicking stuff, so Muay Thai really helps! While learning curve is steep, I like that I can test my application skills with the techniques I've learned in class with my training partners.

When I used to go to the gym, all I was working out for was the aesthetics. I wanted to be like one of those 'Instagram girls'. But it was not getting me anywhere. Then I thought why not I quit weight training and put myself out there to try something new? And that's how I ended up with trying Muay Thai, and falling in love with it. I feel like having a goal I'm working towards :)

I've been doing Muay Thai since 2008. I was watching Contender Asia and it inspired me. But the real reason I started Muay Thai was to lose weight. Lifting weights and jogging wasn't really working out for me. So I tried martial arts. Even after training for so long, I am still learning something new with every lesson at Pineapple MMA. The trainers are motivated to see you do better when you're here.

Initially I thought that martial arts was really violent. But when my friends and I tried it out, we realised that "Eh? It's actually quite fun!" I like to challenge myself, and that't how I got started. My main motivation was to lose weight and get stronger. But after training more, I realised martial arts was helpful as a form of self-defence. Pineapple MMA is very conveniently located in Central, so I can train during lunch or after work hours.
