After moving to Olde Kensington, I had to find a new martial arts home and kept hearing great things about Burning Spirits. I signed up for a trial and ended up joining immediately. The culture here is fantastic. Coach Derek has built a very impressive, structured program where you always know exactly what your goals are and how to progress. They even send out weekly emails to keep everyone updated on the schedule and what’s happening at the gym, which is a level of organization you don't always find in combat sports. I’ve trained at quite a few schools across Philly over the years, and this is easily the most well-run of the bunch. It’s a dedicated Muay Thai school that stays true to the traditional art. Whether you just want a great workout or you’re looking to eventually compete, they have a path for you. If you're in the area, it's definitely the place to be.

Stellar gym to train at, coaches are knowledgeable and attentive, and the vibe is great all around. Sparring sessions are fun and ego is left at the door which makes for a great learning environment. Gym is clean and has good equipment. I highly recommend burning spirits to anyone who wants to learn muay thai and train hard

I’ve been a member of Burning Spirits since November 2024. Derek and his other coaches create a positive atmosphere where practitioners of all skill levels feel welcome. There is a built in sense of camaraderie. Every class I take I learn more about what I’m capable of and where I can improve. Whether you’re a seasoned boxer or new to martial arts, Burning Spirits has a spot for you.

I had a great experience at Burning Spirits Muay Thai! The gym has an amazing vibe—clean, welcoming, and full of positive energy. What really stood out to me was the traditional Muay Thai feel of the training. Derek, the owner, brings authentic experience from Thailand, and it shows in the way he teaches and runs the gym. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and made me feel right at home. Whether you’re a beginner or have experience, this is a great place to train. I’m definitely coming back! Highly recommend.
