A local veteran-owned martial arts gym, The Compound Fight House, has launched a GoFundMe after receiving a 60-day eviction notice, according to the gym’s owner. Owner Pow Srikachorn claims the eviction stems from years of unresolved flooding damage allegedly caused by another tenant, which he says was not properly addressed by the landlord.

The gym, which serves children, families, and veterans, is seeking $150,000 to help cover disputed back rent and legal fees. Srikachorn alleges that long-term damage to the space led to significant financial losses, despite what he says was the landlord’s acknowledgment that the gym was not at fault. We have reached out to Guardian Realty for comment and will update if they respond.
