NICK WALLACE-BEACH
General Committee Member
I joined FUMTC as a student in early 2021, very unfit with no martial arts experience and have loved it. It's a great way to improve fitness and flexibility and is much more interesting than running on a treadmill for cardio. More than that, this club has a great community to get amongst

Hello, my name is William. I am currently studying Social Work and I joined FUMTC this year (2021). Before I started learning the art of Muay Thai, I had never been fit in my life. Now, with the guidance and support of Alan Wong and the FUMTC family, I have finally found the motivation I need to better my health.
