About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Combat Sports Boosters, Inc. was born out of a shared passion for martial arts and a desire to make it accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances. Founded by a 5-time Muay Thai champion and her dedicated sister and brother-in-law, our non-profit organization is rooted in the values of empowerment, inclusivity, and community support.
The story begins with our champion founder, who, after achieving great success in the world of Muay Thai, wanted to give back to the sport that had shaped her life. She, along with her brother-in-law, co-founded a martial arts gym that started as a small endeavor but soon grew into a thriving hub of diverse martial arts practices. From Muay Thai to boxing, wrestling, krav maga, and jiujitsu, the gym became a place where individuals of all ages and backgrounds came together to train and compete.
As the gym expanded, it became evident that the costs associated with competitive martial arts could be a significant barrier for many talented individuals and their families. The founders recognized the financial struggles that some of their students faced, and they were determined to find a solution. They firmly believed that no one should be denied the opportunity to learn, practice, and compete in the martial arts they love simply because of financial constraints.
