Funding for MMA cage and wall mats for Union Thai

We’re pleased to announce we’re supporting Union Thai with funding towards an MMA cage and wall mats.

Run by Marcos Lopes Guimaraes, Union Thai have over 50 members and specialise in Muay Thai. The equipment will help Union Thai protect their students from injuries, enable larger classes and provide more classes to the community. In addition, Union Thai have students who have obtained gold medals in the WKO British Championships, so the club aims to give their students the opportunity of ring experience so they can train harder towards a professional, competitive career.

 “We feel with the extra funding we can provide a more professional and safe place for everyone to access and train. We want to be the first club in the area to provide the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) experience.” Marcos Lopes Guimaraes

We wish Union Thai every success for the future and look forward to seeing their progress along the way.
