We’ve got three fighters from 8 Limbs Academy — Coach Matt, Rio, and Jahnavee — heading out to the TBA Muay Thai World Expo in Des Moines.

This isn’t a vacation. This is work. But this work is EXPENSIVE!

These are good people who show up day after day, tired, beat up, dealing with real life… and still choosing to put themselves through hard training. Nobody here is skipping steps. Nobody got handed anything. They earned this.

We’re trying to get them out there the right way — flights, hotel, registration, food. It adds up fast. Fighting might be 10 minutes… but getting there takes a whole lot more.

At 8 Limbs, we’re big on building people, not just fighters. This is part of that. Learning how to handle pressure, how to represent something bigger than yourself, how to walk into a room where nobody knows you and still stand tall.

If you’ve ever trained with us, supported us, or just believe in what we’re doing — this is one of those moments where you can help push it forward.

Anything helps. Seriously. And if you can’t donate, share it. That matters too.

We’re trying to give Coach Matt, Rio, and Jahnavee a real shot. Not a shortcut.

Appreciate you.

— Coach Charlie / 8 Limbs Academy
