Shamaine, instructor at U-Elite Martial Fitness, specialized in kickboxing and self-defence training.

Shamaine Kok

Lead Coach

Coach Shamaine started her martial arts training in her early 20s. Back then, she was just looking for a fitness programme to keep herself active and healthy. By chance, she was introduced to U-Elite’s Self-Defence programme. Thinking that this is a great combination of exercising and learning self-defence skills to protect herself at the same time, she decided to give it a try. Ever since then, she never stopped and continued her learning journey into Kickboxing, Chanbara, Hapkido and Submission Grappling.

She is now the Kickboxing and Self-Defence coach with U-Elite as well as a Weight Management Coach.
