I ended up at Royal Striking kind of by accident once, but it turned out to be the best accident ever. Everyone at the gym is super welcoming. The instructors/coaches have a lot of competition and ring experience so it’s fun to learn from them. They also offer a combat yoga class which is pretty cool and something I’ve never seen at any other gym before.

I’ve trained here since 2019 and I have not even thought of going anywhere else. Solid training, solid environment, and this team has grown to be part of my family. #loyaltotheroyal!

There is no doubt this is one of the best muay thai and martial arts academies in Philly. The coaches, staff and students at Royal Striking are just some of the most knowledgeable, proficient and overall fun, people to be around. Coach Aaron has created something special for his team and community. I have been in martial arts for over 25 years and I believe that everyone should find a place that fits them to learn and call home. This is without question, one of those places. I highly recommend Royal Striking for brand new beginners as well as for professional competitors. Whether you want to get in great shape and explore a wonderful hobby or want to take martial arts further for competing, you will find it all with Coach Aaron. My expert opinion is, stop waiting and schedule a class today with them. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing first experience trying Muay Thai. Professional, respectful, friendly atmosphere with welcoming members. Owner/instructor, Aaron, was patient and cued form to ensure safety to a newbie. Appreciate the community he’s developed.

It's the best mma gym in Philadelphia, this isn't some boxing gym that does a little kickboxing or wrestling, this is a full on muay Brazilian jujitsu mixed martial arts gym, and the trainers are incredible, i recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn musy thai and jujitsu.

Royal Striking has become a huge part of my daily routine. I had never imagined myself goin to a gym like this and partaking in these type of classes, but it has truly paid off. Not only is it one of the hardest / most rewarding type of workouts I have done, but it is an amazing stress reliever for me after my work day. What’s so great about this gym is that travertine is very welcoming and treat you like family. In the beginning of my 2 week free trial, I was nervous. By now, I have made a bunch of friends and truly look forward to goin over there at the end of the day. I do live close, so I walk, but there also is a ton of room for parking on their street. Overall, this is one of the best things that I have incorporated into my life both mentally and physically.

Extremely welcoming and fun environment. I highly suggest coming in if you’re looking to learn Muay Thai and/or jiu jitsu. Great instruction from Aaron, Trent, and Matt.

Coach Aaron and Trent and Matt are honestly everything you could want in a combat sports gym. They are extremely knowledgeable about what they teach and they give you specific instructions and details on how to perform all the tasks that are asked. I came into the gym with no Kicking or BJJ experience and after a few months my confidence is starting to rise from just showing up. No egos are in the gym, coaches are all cool, and the other students are always open to share tips or walk you through how and why certain techniques work. Been here since 11/2020 and they got a lifetime customer from me.

My son started here when he was 13. He's now 15, and has grown physically and mentally with the help of Coach Aaron and his phenomenal staff. He's learning life lessons and discipline, without even realizing it. He now goes to 3-4 sessions weekly, without much resistance. That's amazing for a teenager! 😁👍💪🥊🥊

Been a member here for 2 years and I’ve been to many gyms in the area and across the Delaware valley. From my attendance at Royal StriKing Muay, I’ve experienced a family based connection, fun/intense training and overall knowledge of the sport! Super fun to get in shape, expand or learn your technique with muaythai, bjj, mma, and or test your abilities in competition :)

Royal Striking provides a fun, warm and welcoming space to learn and practice Muay Thai and BJJ. Coach Aaron is very knowledgeable, skilled and passionate about combat sports which shows in his classes! All coaches and students are committed to supporting one another in improving each others’ fitness and Muay Thai or BJJ practice at royal. Coach Aaron has a calming presence which makes joining a combat gym much less scary. Classes provide a mix of technical skill and full body workout. A great place for anyone wanting to understand Muay Thai, get a good workout and feel part of a welcoming community!

Best martial arts place I've ever trained at. Coach Aaron is a great guy and he really knows his stuff. Plus, the entire staff is super helpful, and all of the other students also go above and beyond to help each other out.

I've started coming here around 3 years ago and I love it. I've been around a lot of martial art gyms and the environment and quality of training is the best. I'm a professional fighter but the classes here benefit anyone from novices to seasoned pros. Coach Aaron is really good at incorporating a program that benefits everyone regardless of skill level. Coach Aaron treats everyone equally and takes pride in making everyone better. If you're especially looking to get in shape while having fun then I highly recommend checking out a class. In addition there are 3 highly qualified jiu jitsu teachers who teach here weekly. Since joining my game has improved greatly. There is no macho gym culture here and I really appreciate that.

I have been training with Coach Aaron for years and was very happy when he opened up his Muay Thai gym this past year. He is an incredible instructor in the sport who explains moves clearly and encourages you to be your best. I love going because it is my favorite way to stay in shape, to keep my mind focused, and to have fun.
