Nine youngsters from Erith have fought their way through to qualify for the ISKA Muay Thai World Championships, to be held in Germany next year.

The Under 16 team travelled to Birmingham earlier this month (November 22), where they defeated all of their opponents, including UKMF junior superleague champions Ella Marsh and Megan Pearce.

Coach and Nemesis gym owner Michael Teyki said: “It is fantastic to know that nine children from Erith will be representing their country and town.”

Barry Owen, the centre manager of Erith Riverside Shopping Centre - where Nemesis gym is located - congratulated the nine members on their fantastic result.

Ranging from age 8-15, the team have shown determination and hard work to achieve a place together at the ISKA Muay Thai World Championships.
