Royston has been nothing but supportive throughout my journey to being healthier. The intent of losing weight through Muay Thai soon became a clear interest for me, and I just keep coming back for more training.
Not only through his training I was able to better my health, but it made such an incredible impact on my confidence and anxiety. He takes the time to explain the groundwork, is meticulous about refining techniques, and always ensures I understand the why behind every move.
I’ve not only seen visible changes in my physique, but I’m stronger and far more disciplined than I ever thought I could be. Royston’s patience and ability to tailor each session to my needs kept me engaged and always learning. He creates a space where you can push your limits without fear of judgment, and that has made all the difference. I’m truly grateful for his guidance!

I’m entirely new to martial arts but I set a goal to do something new for myself this year and self-defence was on my list. I was exploring different martial arts facilities around SG looking for an inspiring trainer and I’m so thankful to have crossed paths with Royston. I wasn’t sure if I could do it but Royston’s programs, tips and patience guided me through this season. If you’re looking for a trainer who’s inspiring, nurturing and dedicated, Royston’s best in class!
The word, “balance” was redefined by Muay Thai and it’s helped me overcome challenges and basically better myself in other aspects of my life. Being a fighter and a trainer over a decade himself, it meant that Royston understood the fundamentals and mechanics of each movement better than anyone else. I appreciate how he trains people across all age groups and his assertiveness when it comes to being excellent – Always quality over quantity. Every session is always enjoyable with that warm and fun personality of his!
I learn something new every week and his Muay Thai sessions are something I look forward to every week and I’m excited for this new journey ahead with practising martial arts beyond just Muay Thai!

I have been training with Royston for 4 years. Royston is an extremely committed, dedicated and passionate coach with good depth of knowledge in combat sports.
Royston understands my physical limitations and adapts our training sessions. He is patient in his coaching to ensure I grasp strong fundamentals.
Royston has a strong ability to break down techniques into smaller steps to help me understand better, with good eyes at spotting minor details to help refine my punching, kicking techniques, footwork and even weight placements with clear and precise explanations.
My techniques and fitness has definitely improved leaps and bounds training under Royston and I look forward to more training sessions with him!

I’ve trained under Royston since I started my career for about 8 years now. He was the first coach I’ve trained with since I picked up Muay Thai and have always found new things to learn every session. He breaks down the fundamentals extremely well to ensure that his students are fundamentally sound regardless of level or fighting aspirations.
Royston doesn’t only pay attention to fighters but also ensures that those who train for leisure receive the same attention and guidance. Also, I’ve done several personal training sessions with him and each session is well thought out and specific to my weaknesses. I’ve seen myself improve exponentially with each PT session. 
Finally, as students we should not take Royston’s classes for granted as I really only learned how good of a coach he is when I went to other places to train and realised how different his level of coaching is compared to many other places with a high level of focus on technique and fundamental abilities that is extremely important to the sport.

I had already been training Muay Thai for 4+ years and had competed a few times when I decided to commission Royston for PT. But it was only when we started working together 1 to 1 on a weekly basis, I realized how little knowledge I had of the sport. Royston has this incredible ability to break down basic, fundamental techniques to help you understand and correct mistakes. He does this by challenging your mental and physical capacity equally and to make real progress, I have learned that the brain must first learn and then the body will follow. Because of this, I’m a much more well-rounded athlete and martial artist.
I would highly recommend Royston for anyone who takes martial arts, or just learning in general, seriously.

I was introduced to Royston by a good friend and it was the best decision I made to start personal training with him.
Royston is extremely committed, dedicated and passionate and our training sessions really have been the highlight of my week.
As a new starter to Muay Thai, Royston has been incredibly patient with me, explains things very clearly and always gives me constructive feedback. His professional knowledge and experience are second to none and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Royston to anyone looking for Muay Thai coaching.
And above all training with Royston is great fun!

Royston is fully committed to my Muay Thai education. His passion for Muay Thai is infectious and has reinvigorated my desire to learn! Whatever he teaches, he will show me exactly how to do it with constant feedback that is honest but encouraging.  Also, Royston teaches Muay Thai as a fighter, which means that you don’t only learn the “how” but the “why” as well. In other words, there is never mindless execution of drills with Royston and you will always be working to apply your training in reality.  Perhaps most importantly, Royston has taught me that Muay Thai is not just power and speed, but a beautiful combination of the fighter’s intention and execution. 10/10 would recommend!

Over the past 7 years, I have been working with different trainers but I must say, Royston brings a totally different dimension to my PT through his patient coaching style and unselfish sharing of training philosophies
Royston is never one to use cookie-cutter programs he is always accommodating and tailors the session to my needs and body condition for that day. His steadfast dedication to his craft in addition to his ability to translate and break down high-level technical skillsets into layman terms ensures I get the best out of every session.
Don’t be intimidated by the fact that he is the 1st Singaporean to step into the UFC ring. If you are looking for a top-level professional who is humble and able to coach regardless if you are new to this or have been around he is definitely your guy.

KJ Teo (Personal Training)

I have been training with Royston for close to 4 years now and I still find every session with him a brand new learning experience for me. The training is always different, focusing on different aspects of the fight game, namely: techniques (be it striking or grappling), conditioning and even movement workouts for injury prevention. On a personal note, Royston is very approachable and patient. He tailors training to individuals’ needs (whether you are a serious MMA fighter or one who simply wants to pick up mixed martial arts as a recreational sport to get fit). In addition to being a well-rounded fighter, Royston is an extremely encouraging and dedicated coach. He truly lives up to his name as Singapore’s one and only UFC fighter.

Royston Wee is a dedicated coach with amazing fight experiences and tips in teaching MMA. Safety is always the top priority during lessons, he is able to customise training to adapt to my body when I have old injuries doing sports from before. I have been training with him for 3 years and learned a lot of techniques with fine-tuning and adjustments during practice. Royston also adds in strength and conditioning, mobility and movement work to my regime. He is always willing to share more about MMA and his experiences. Royston is very friendly and close to his students. All and all, he is a great coach and friend in the ring. The best guy to start your MMA experience with!

Ciaran O’Neill (Personal Training)

Royston is one of the best coaches I’ve ever trained with. He’s incredibly patient and very knowledgeable. He draws on his professional experience which has really taken my MMA to the next level.
I’d have no hesitation in recommending Royston to any beginner, intermediate or professional.
Royston is helping me prepare for my first MMA fight, he has great attention to detail and explains difficult techniques very clearly. Royston also gives good focus to the mental aspect of preparation and fighting which gives me confidence to win and win well.

Jacinta Nishanthi (Personal Training & Online Coaching)

I have been training with Royston for over 4 years and still to this day, he has been nothing but an incredible coach. He takes the time to breakdown every technique for MMA & Muay Thai for me to get a better understanding. He never fails to share his experiences in the ring/training with his clients. I could feel myself getting better at my techniques with his teachings. Royston takes the time to understand my physical limitations and adjusts the training regime in order for me to overcome them. He is an inspiration to anyone who takes this sport up leisurely or competitively.
I started online training with Royston during Covid period, we worked on rebuilding my techniques in stages. Royston has that same ability to observe and guide me like we were still in the gym. Royston introduced creative ways to improve my agility in both mental and physical aspects. Through this online training with him, I have learned more about the importance of cognitive training. Being able to train remotely is also very convenient and I could do more training sessions with Royston anywhere any time I can!

Harry Setiawan (Personal Training)

I’ve been training with Royston for almost 8 years now. I believe he is one of the most experienced & committed coaches. I really enjoyed the variety and challenge he put into the sessions. Royston is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging. My fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my stamina. I find I actually look forward to my workouts. Two most important things I notice from his coaching:
  1. He ensures that my technique is always correct.
  2. He is extremely reliable & punctual – always set up & ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned.
I would recommend Royston to anyone looking to improve their fitness and technique in martial arts.

Vincent Chow (Personal Training)

I first started training with Royston 7 years ago in what was my first foray into Muay Thai and MMA. It was him who built the right foundations, imparting the right skillsets for me to build on when I trained elsewhere in other countries. After training in 2 other countries in UK and Hong Kong, he is still the best.
7 years on and I’ve relocated back to Singapore and have been training with him for 5 months now. I’m constantly surprised by significant strides in physical conditioning and technique improvements I get session on session. Nowhere else I see myself making such improvements.

Dariusz P. Olszyna (Personal Training)

Medical Doctor

Royston has been my Muay Thai teacher for more than seven years. As a coach, his strength is to be able to see where your limits are and push you beyond them so that you keep improving. He is great at spotting even minor errors in footwork, weight balance, punches or kicks which, ones corrected, lead to huge improvements when sparring with others. Royston is a very serious coach who never gets distracted and gives you his full attention during each training session making his personal training sessions worth every cent.

Fara (Online Coaching)

I have been training with Royston virtually online, for about 5 months. During the ‘Circuit breaker’, I decided to learn Muay Thai as a new skill. Initially, I thought it would be a challenge for me to keep up, especially since I am not athletic and have zero experience in any martial arts. My training started off with key fundamental training and Royston will breakdown each technique, explain the steps clearly, and sometimes use interesting analogies to help me understand better. The sessions are packed with focused training and incorporated with high energy level of cardio exercises, so it is never boring!
When I have questions or in doubt, he will always be patient to explain. He also pays attention to details and will point out exactly how to improve each movement. Royston is an all-rounded professional coach, besides imparting skills/ techniques, he also shares knowledge on the importance of fitness for physical health and mental wellbeing. The progressions and experience so far, has been very enriching and I have learnt a lot within a short span of time. I highly recommend Royston’s training for anyone keen on learning combat sports like Muay Thai/MMA, or looking to improve their fitness level!

Derek C (Group Class)

Royston is a keen and experienced coach who humbly shares his knowledge on martial arts. Whether you are a novice trying to get started, or an experienced person who has been training for years, Royston adjusts his teaching to suit the learning style of his students. His martial arts classes are never boring – always teaching new techniques and refining the basics; his emphasis on “Practice doesn’t make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect” ensure his students in executing the right moves. Training with Royston has been an amazing experience and I look forward to his fun, yet gruelling, sessions every week. Don’t expect him to go easy on you though!

I had the pleasure of going to Royston’s class and I got hooked on my very first! Royston is very supportive of all students, regardless of age, gender. As Long as your interested to improve your craft and ask questions, he is very willing to teach. I really appreciate how he spends time and effort to correct my form every time I ask him to. And he is always supportive of me improving my skills regardless of female/male! Love it!!!

Renny Chong (Group Class)

Asset Management

I have been training with Royston for 2-3 times a week in the past 6 months. I came with very little experience in martial arts having only attended trial classes previously, but have seen a big improvement in my ability with the sport in this short amount of time. Royston’s teaching style strikes a good balance between pushing you out of your comfort zone, yet being supportive and nurturing. His personality creates a safe environment that allows you to feel at ease as you learn the sport and makes you want to put in your best while training. He teaches clearly and always demonstrates what he wants you to achieve, often breaking it down into smaller steps to follow easily. He is able to tailor to different audiences and level of ability, making him a very versatile mentor. I enjoy training with Royston, as while he often teaches me new techniques, he is equally focused on perfecting my foundations. Through his coaching, I feel the sport has made me more focused, consistent and confident.
