Anno 2020
 

The search for a place to train, both my dancing and Kickboxing during the COVID-Period, ended up getting the keys of a friend's dancing school, to bypass the  pandemic restrictions. She also proposed having some free studio's in case I would like to start teaching Kickboxing. And that's where it all started. A room of 5 by 4 meter, remodeled to Kickboxing studio served for an astonishing 35 members in the first month between  two COVID waves.

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 into 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

Taking off with the Kickboxing school seemed like 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, we started renovating and accommodating a new building, Schaarbeeklei 176 - 1800 Vilvoorde, to a complete Martial Arts facility.

October 2023

​

Opening new facility with 4 Personal Coaching Studio's, a Cross Training Gym, a Shop and of course our Boxing Gym.

​

Our new location, the new Boxing Gym in Vilvoorde and the impact of Social Media gave our Club a boost as no other. Soon various Boxing and Kickboxing coaches from everywhere came to visit or wanted to be a part of the team, bringing up some real level and value to Espace 73.
Up to the next level, going for competitions and our own Gala!

September 2024
