My wife and I loved training at Square Circle. All the coaches are great and super knowledgable, but we particularly benefitted from Kru Rob's expertise. One thing that set Square Circle apart for us, though, was the community. There was a mix of levels, from folks currently competing to newer athletes, but everyone was super welcoming and eager to help / learn from one another. I definitely felt like it was a safe, fun place to spar, and bonus points for the beautiful space overlooking the Financial District. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to train Muay Thai in the city!

Amazing gym that offers authentic Muay Thai and BJJ. This is a first tier choice for people who are both beginners and experienced. Extremely clean and very professional. Classes here are fun and engaging, while also being safe! Kru Rob and the staff put their student's first and make sure everyone's needs are met. The vibe of the gym is super friendly, everyone is there to support each other! Kru Rob is an experienced coach with a excellent muay thai + MMA lineage. He is deeply entrenched in the NYC fight scene so fight opportunities and shows come often!

I went to Square Circle for a few years. I came in with absolutely no idea on how to kickbox let alone Muay Thai kickboxing. Not only did I learn kickboxing but I learned Brazilian Jujitsu as well. The instructors in both Kickboxing and BJJ are experienced fighters who professionally have completed in professional tournaments. I have made friends that I still talk to and have stayed in contact with. The school itself is well kept with the equipment and floor being sprayed and sanitized after each class. Cleanliness at a gym is utmost important and, in this facility, you will find it to be very well kept. The atmosphere during class is high energy and friendly. The instructors do an excellent job in welcoming new people and are attentive to their skill level. There is this tight bond that everyone has with each other before, during and after class. Whether you are an experienced kickboxer or have experience with BJJ or you want to learn either one I would highly recommend this school. Its friendly, knowledgeable, clean, the instructors are well experienced and the people who come to train are very diverse they come from all walks of life.

Been in this gym since of October 2016 and I’m glad I join this gym. Prior to having Muay Thai experience already coming here has made my technique a lot better. With just fixing minor errors like my fighting stance or throwing a hook the coaches are willing to help you improve! The classes you come and take is absolutely a great workout if you come just for losing weight, getting back in shape, or just trying out a new workout this is a must. The people you meet in the gym are friendly and helpful. Totally recommend this place if you want to try out a martial art or just looking for a good workout this is the place to be.
