Scorpions New Gym
Just to let everyone know after 12 years of fighting for planning permission from the councils in Epsom, Sutton, Croydon and getting turned down for opening a full time Muay Thai Boxing Gym, our struggle has just come to an end. Me Stephen and Michael have just opened a full time Gym in High Street Beckenham. Any Gyms interested we will be organising group fight classes with the three of us and everyone attending will get to go in the ring with Stephen and Michael for technical sparring. Mark

Good luck with it,the quite men of muay thai,would love to interview you all as your a real credit,best wishes x

Nice one Mark, I understand your frustration as we have had exactly the same problems, now like you we will be opening our brand new gym within a fortnight, good luck mate.

Looks great! Congratulations to you.

May I ask what was the issue for the planning councils and subsequent denial for 12 years?

Hopefully this picture will show our youngest student having fun at the new gym.

Looks great guys, we wish you all the best.

looks awesome mark,the kids have great technique as well.good luck,nath

Stephen I don't know why except after turning down over £3000.00 worth of applications it was time to give up and go to a new area. On 7 of the applications they turned them down on bringing to much traffic to the area but then gave planning permission for a tyre and exhaust centre. When I appealed they said that motor trades have priority. It was just one excuse after the other.

Thank you every one for your comments.

I see the mindless bureaucracy is on both sides of the pond. Gym looks great and wish you continued success.

Great tech on the kids. Good to get that ingrained at a young age when they are really receptive like the Thai's do.

Thanks Tom I do try.
