HISTORY

They say "chance" doesn't exist, and yet ...

Evolution of the club

Ano 2020

Looking for a place to train, both my Argentine Tango dancing and Kickboxing, during the COVID-Period, I got the keys of a friend's dancing school to bypass all other opportunities of the pandemic restrictions. The owner also proposed that if I would like to start teaching Kickboxing, she still had some studio space free. And that's where it all started. A studio of 5 by 4 meter, remodeled to Kickboxing studio which attracted an astonishing 35 members in one month and a half time, between the two waves of COVID.

April 2021

During the second wave a project was set up to open a concept store. A combination of an Outlet Store, with dance platform for youth and Social Media, combined with a Kickboxing school in the stock area as the main idea. But getting notion of the premises next door, a previous squash and fitness center, which had been abandoned for over more than 15 years, was an opportunity leaning more to my capabilities and background. So a contract was signed for a period of 2 years, the time frame for the owner's license confirmation. And,....renovations started.

September 2021

Take off with the Kickboxing school seemed like a real welcome in Vilvoorde, considering the surprising number of members subscribing to our 4 children's, Ladies only and men's categories. From there on it  evolved even faster. The club seemed a real magnet for Martial Arts, both instructors and members. In less than 2 years time, we grew to 6 different Martial Arts, various Fitness Coaches and Personal Trainers, with an overall of more than 175 members, and growing.

Time to move!

As our contract indicated a period of 2 years, we have come to the end of our time here. Although some minor extensions are added to our time, we cannot continue living in short term uncertainties that one day we'll have to move out. So, currently we are renovating an accommodating a new building, Schaarbeeklei 176 - 1800 Vilvoorde, to a complete Martial Arts facility.
