Amanda Tutterrow

Owner of Thai Kickboxing Organization-Hickory

Ms. Amanda has been studying and training martial arts at TKO in Statesville since 2016. After watching her son take classes for a couple of months, she decided to join the fun and started taking the Women’s Kickboxing Fit Class. She quickly fell in love with the sport, and soon after joined the Co-Ed Muay Thai Class. She trained for many years, tested through the ranks, and ultimately achieved her black belt in American Kickboxing. After years of training, she was able to begin sharing her knowledge with others, and has been teaching at TKO in Statesville for more than 5 years.

She has also competed in kickboxing, and has been training regularly in Thailand since 2019. Amanda feels strongly that to be a good instructor it is important to also be a lifelong student of martial arts. She continues to visit Thailand not only to make herself better, but to bring the latest teaching tools and strategies home to her students.

One thing Ms. Amanda wants everyone to understand about Muay Thai, is that this sport is for EVERYONE! Whether you want to get in shape, learn a new skill, relieve stress, or even participate in competitions, anyone can learn and have fun doing so!

Adam Tutterrow

Owner of Thai Kickboxing Organization-Hickory

Coach Adam has been a part of TKO Statesville since 2017, when he gained interest in learning Muay Thai from watching his son take classes. It started as a fun way for him to bond with his family, and quickly became his favorite activity! Coach Adam earned his black belt in American kickboxing and has studied in Thailand several times. He especially enjoys teaching the Muay Thai clinch in the Adult Co-Ed class at TKO in Statesville.

Learning Muay Thai and kickboxing became a great way for him to build confidence, learn self-defense, and stay in shape. However, learning and teaching martial arts has become more about the people that he has met along the way. From his trips to Thailand, visiting other gyms in the US, and especially in his local community, he learned that Muay Thai brings people together, and he has developed great friendships that are rooted in the love of this sport. He wants everyone to know that Muay Thai is open to everyone, and the sense of community that comes along with the sport is extremely rewarding.

"When my son started TKO 4 years ago I didn't really know what to expect. I had heard from others that it was a great school for kids to learn self defense, but it didn't take long to see that it was SO much more than just learning how to kick and punch. Yes, they learn how to defend themselves but, first they learn the Student Code: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self Control, Respect and how to apply that code into their daily lives at school, home or wherever they may be. Nathan, Hannah and the rest of the staff not only help your child learn self defense techniques but will teach them how to become a better student through that code, how to become confident in their ability to do things that most adults can't do. When you walk through those doors you become part of a very tight knit family! I could go on and on about the way that TKO will absolutely help your child because I've seen it countless times in the 4 years that I've been involved with this school, but the best way to see for yourself is to step through those doors and experience it!"

"My two sons (5 and 12) started TKO's beginner and teen classes just this month. They both love them, but especially my 12 year old. He talks nonstop about kickboxing, shows me things he's learn, and is asking for a punching bag at home to practice. I haven't seen him this interested in anything other than an electronic device in a very long time. Thank you TKO!"

- Kelly C.

"TKO is the change I needed! I am slowly building my endurance back up and Hannah really keeps you going! My 4yr old also takes classes and LOVES every bit of it! Highly recommend to anyone who’s needing a challenge."

"This place is the best place to learn martial arts! Not only do kids learn Maui Thai, but also a code of conduct. This code of conduct is such an important aspect of life and is applied in our home as well. KRU is an excellent teacher that continues to go to Thailand and learn. He employs professionals to teach his classes that uphold his values and techniques. This is the cleanest gym I have ever been to! Ask around town and you will always hear great things about TKO from all the many people that have taken classes through the years."

- April S.

"My son has been a student for over 4 years. He loves this school and all of the instructors. I recommend this school for anyone of any age. Nathan and Hannah are the best at what they do and care about all of the students. Friendly, clean, professional and excellent instruction."

- Amy D.

“The women's kickboxing fit class is fantastic!! Hannah is an awesome instructor, and all of the ladies are so welcoming. They are constantly encouraging you as well as pushing you to do your best in each class. If you are looking for a great full body workout I encourage you to give it a try.”
