From the reviews
Hands down the best Muay Thai gym I've ever trained at. Great trainers and great camaraderie amongst all. Great for beginners and advanced Muay Thai enthusiasts. Coach Amr and his team do an incredible job of teaching this awesome martial art!
If you’re looking for a more traditional approach to Muay Thai this Gym is by far the best one in Sussex County . As someone that has tried many gyms locally and outside of Sussex county I found them to be quite underwhelming or just not too inclusive if I’m being transparent .
This place is amazing! The coaches are great, and Head Coach Amr really knows his stuff when it comes to Muay Thai. Whether you’re just looking to get in shape or want to compete, they’ve got you covered.
Pharaohs is absolutely the place to be. If you’re on the fence about joining Muay Thai, just do it. Amr the head coach and Bruce are amazing—they teach real Muay Thai technique and genuinely cares about your progress while keeping it fun.
New to kickboxing? Start at Pharaohs Muay Thai
Pharaohs Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Pharaohs Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
