About Singapore Budo Academy
Singapore Budo Academy is a traditional martial arts academy in the Katong area that pairs combat skill with personal development, training students in both grappling and the flowing techniques of aikido. The academy positions itself as a place where tradition meets transformation, treating martial arts as a discipline for the body and mind rather than purely a sport.
The programme spans several distinct paths. Adults can train in Jean Jacques Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or Aikido Yobukai, while a dedicated kids programme blends multiple styles into an age-appropriate curriculum. For those who want faster progress or a more tailored approach, the academy offers one-on-one personal training and small-group sessions of two or three students.
Led by a chief instructor with more than 35 years of global martial arts experience and dual master-level ranking in aikido, the academy welcomes adults, teens and children alike. Conveniently located minutes from Paya Lebar MRT, Singapore Budo Academy suits beginners taking their first steps on the mat as much as experienced practitioners looking for serious, traditional instruction in a supportive setting.
