Games are a reflection of our true nature. Our greatest strengths and our deepest insecurities show up on the court.

Badminton is more than a swing.

This ideal encapsulates how we feel about the sport; that it is more than the flick of a wrist or a swing of the racket. We pride ourselves as an academy that takes into consideration every individual learner's unique personality dispositions and how that affects the way they approach the game.

“My best training experience was with MTAS. I didn’t know that my personality affected the way that I was playing on the courts. When I learnt how my aggression made me force shots to win, the awareness that was created gave me more options instead of relying on pure instincts.”

— Ian, Startup Founder
