Benjamin Ang began his martial arts journey as a Taekwondo practitioner when he was 18 years old. Starting at that age was no easy task for him as the muscles were already stiff, and martial arts is all about flexibility. Taekwondo set a good foundation for Benjamin as footwork and balance are needed for the kicks, especially when sparring. After his first multi-martial arts tournament against Muay Thai, he learnt that each form of martial art had their own rules. This spurred him on to study the various types of arts there was to offer.
Boxing is vastly different from Taekwondo, but having established strong foundations in both Taekwondo footwork and techniques helped Benjamin greatly in understanding the flows when learning boxing. Amongst all the various forms of weapons trainings, Benjamin took to Kumdo in his next journey. Kumdo training emphasises greatly in hitting the opponent in the fastest, simplest and smoothest of movements. Being exposed to the many different training methods and environments over the years have allowed Benjamin to plan for and cater to the training programmes to a diverse group of people seeking to begin their own martial arts journey in the next chapter of their lives.
