Red Panda Muay Thai is more than a gym—it's a third space and sanctuary for those who need it most. Owned and lead by queer and trans martial arts coaches, we are dedicated to providing low barrier access to combat sports, self-defense, and a supportive community for everyone, especially the diaspora of trans folx who’ve relocated to Seattle from Red States who are trying to legislate us out of existence. Our mission is to create a safe, welcoming space where everyone can thrive, regardless of their financial situation or background.

As our community has grown, so has our need for a more functional space. Many of our members are low to no income people, seeking not just a place to train, but a place to belong. We want to expand our space, programs and services so we can reach even more people who need support, connection, and empowerment. To do this, we hope to expand into the space directly adjacent to our current gym, install showers and make our facility more accessible and comfortable for as many people as possible.

The funds raised will go directly towards the construction of our expanded space, as well as the purchase of equipment and materials needed to create a state-of-the-art gym and pay our dedicated coaching staff. With your help, we can continue creating a facility that truly serves our community’s needs. Please consider supporting Red Panda Muay Thai—every donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to making this vision a reality. Thank you for believing in us and helping us grow.
