Why Learn Muay Thai with Empower?
Muay Thai is one of the most effective striking systems in the world—but at Empower, it’s also a path to healing, confidence, and connection.
We teach authentic Muay Thai in a welcoming, pressure-free environment where people of all skill levels can thrive. Our classes are designed for real people with real lives—not just those chasing competition or titles.
Our students come to us for different reasons: to relieve stress, to get stronger, to reclaim their bodies after trauma, or to enjoy a hobby that feels empowering. No matter your reason, you'll be met with respect, patience, and a training style grounded in both traditional lineage and modern understanding of trauma, neurodivergence, and accessibility.
You don’t have to want to be a champion.
But wouldn’t it be nice to have the skills of one?
Our Lineage and Why It Matters
In martial arts, lineage isn’t just history—it’s legacy.
Each school carries the techniques, philosophy, and wisdom passed down from its founders. At Empower Muay Thai, we are proud to share our lineage directly from four-time world champion George “TNT” Tsutsui, a respected Fairtex fighter whose roots trace directly to Thailand’s most honored fighting traditions.
George Tsutsui earned his titles under the legendary Fairtex banner, a team known for producing elite-level fighters with precision and integrity. Our coaches trained under George at Combat Fitness in Concord, California, and now carry those teachings forward—adapting them to support and empower everyday people.
When new students tell us they’ve trained elsewhere but don’t know their school’s lineage, we know we’re about to show them something different.
You don’t have to become a world champion.
But we’ll give you the same skills, passed down through a proven tradition.

Who We Serve
Empower Muay Thai specializes in working with people who are often excluded or underserved in traditional martial arts settings:
- Individuals with PTSD, C-PTSD, or a history of trauma
- Neurodivergent students (ADHD, autism, IDD)
- Women, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ students seeking a safe space
- Anyone looking for world-class training without judgment
If you've ever felt like a typical fight gym wasn’t built for you—you’re exactly who we built this for.
We offer personalized coaching, trauma-informed structure, and flexible accommodations to meet your needs. Ask us how we support students with complex learning profiles and how our somatic training methods help students of all ages find regulation and rhythm through Muay Thai.
