Terence Cheah Tien Loong
Beneath the intimidating appearance, you will find a mischievous and friendly guy. Training with Terence will be extremely fun. He has a unique way of injecting humor and fun into an otherwise tough fight preparation session.
Terence is certified by World Muaythai Council (WMC), International Federation Muaythai Amateur (IFMA) as an instructor as well as a referee. He is also the senior disciple of Singapore’s Muaythai legend, Ajarhn Johnnie Yeo, founder of Hilltop Muaythai.
At a time when Singapore had no Muaythai competitions, Terence, using his Muaythai skills and training fought in both amateur and professional Sanshou and Sanda (China’s version of full contact kick-boxing) matches.
Terence has also trained in several affiliated Muaythai camps in Thailand under the recommendation of Master Johnnie.
Aside from fighting competitively, Terence also ran security in several of Singapore’s rougher disco clubs like Sparks and Fire for many years. He has invaluable and extensive “street” experience in handling rough characters unlike most martial arts instructors whose only claim to “instructor” status is a certificate. For those looking for Self Defense instruction, Terence has a lot to offer. You will learn about the myths of fights as well as all the dirty tricks that you will encounter on the streets. You stand a better chance of survival when you realize the difference between movie madness and the ugly reality.
