MEMBER TESTIMONIALS
In April 2021, I unexpectedly received my brown belt from Professor Robyn.
The first time we met, he was cornering my opponent at a local ADCC competition. He was pretty new to Singapore then, and I shook his hand afterwards to thank him when the match ended as was custom. I was still a blue belt, training out a gym and team that I had loved dearly, but which was inexorably imploding. It never occurred to me that Robyn would be my new professor, or that FaMA would be my next home.
