2008 Summary

2008 was a great year for the Lumpini Gym.  Attendance was high in all classes and many passed though the course system with great success.  We also fielded a successful team of fighters in both Thai Boxing and MMA.

Results Summary:

Please note these results do not include those of fighters who train(ed) Thai Boxing with us, but fight out of other gyms. They include Mark Adams, Tom Watson, Graham Lewis and Stuart Rickman. All of who have had very successful years.  We have also not included gym show results and interclubs although we are proud of both our novices and more experience fighters - you have all represented the gym with heart and skill.
