About

Abigail Austin

they/she

Abby is the founding coach of Red Panda Muay Thai in Seattle, WA. A world traveling musician, community organizer, fighter, and AFA Battle Cat Class world title holder.

With 11 ring fights on both the European and American continents, Abby has the lived experience of being a shorter, heavier fighter, which set them on a path of developing in-fighting styles tailored for countering larger/taller opponents. While her identity as a queer/trans person opened her eyes towards the need for ethical training spaces, a lifetime in the leftist community organizing and DIY punk provided them with skills to create and foster autonomous spaces.

After a decade of experience training Muay Thai, Dutch Kickboxing, K1, and traditional boxing around the world, Abby brings a truly unique set of skills and infectious enthusiasm to every gym environment. Her commitment to confronting and untangling the most toxic elements of our hierarchical culture and extensive experience in the fight game informs her one of a kind coaching style.
