Burning Spirits Muay Thai is perfect for all levels. The classes mix punching, kicking, and working with a partner to keep things fun and challenging. It’s a great place to learn Muay Thai, whether you’re just starting or looking to get better.

Joining this place has been one of the best decisions of 2024. Coaching is unmatched, classes are challenging and people are great. Excited to learn more and get in better condition while doing so!

Coach Derek is the best !!! Super inviting environment - the trial program is a great iniative to try out Muay Thai - cannot recommed enough !!! Very excited to see where my journey goes !

Best Muay Thai Gym around. Great for beginners and above, everyone is friendly and each class has been challenging but fun & many opportunities to learn. Been great getting feedback as someone new to the gym.

After taking 1 class at Burning Spirits, I was hooked. The environment is really friendly and conducive to learning. The structured classes are great for making thorough progression in Muay Thai

Great academy.and instruction and above all really good people!

BS and all the coaches are great. As a person with IBS Muay Thai is something that really can take a toll in my system because high intensity training often makes ibs symptoms worse. I can feel really sensitive in group classes but I’ve never felt bad or like I didn’t belong at BS. I’ve been going for about a year now and it’s become such an important place of community for me, it helps me feel strong, regulated and I’ve made so many friends! Burning spirits is the kind of place that’s going to ask that when you show up you do your best, but that doesn’t always mean your the hardest hitter- it means your showing up and trying, supporting your fellow fighters and communicating your needs to your partner and coach. Idk if I’ll ever get in the ring due to personal physical constraints, but if I do I’ll be excited to represent Burning Spirits.

This place is super chill. Everyone is really supportive and the classes are kick ass

This gym, its coaches/instructors, and the community of students who attend have been such an important part of my days in Philly. I am a complete beginner with no experience in any type of fighting, and during each class, no matter how big or small the class turnout is, the coaches have been able to spend time with me personally to give me advice and corrections. Thank you Burning Spirits and especially Coach Derek!

My stepdaughter and I had our first private training session this week, and we can't wait to go back! Derek is an excellent instructor; clearly knowledgeable and talented, and he's also very patient and encouraging. I also appreciate the values this studio promotes, and I'm happy to call them my neighbors.
