From the reviews
You will never find another coach like Brian, or a school like Legacy. I have been a student of Brian's for about five years now, and have learned more from him than I can express in a review. What sets him apart is his genuine care for the people that call him coach.
I love this place!!! Coach Brian teaches clean Muay Thai technique. His classes are great for every skill level from beginner to advanced. This gym is professional, clean, and most of all welcoming!! You feel like you’re family from the moment you enter the door.
Authentic Muay Thai!! Coach Brian has fought and lived in Thailand multiple times. He has so much experience and knowledge to share, and he’s so attentive to his students! Pretty awesome workout too. Safe and clean space! Definitely the best Muay Thai gym in Rhode Island!!!
Legacy Thai Boxing stands out as an exceptional Muay Thai gym🌟 known for its spacious and inviting atmosphere, enhanced by its vibrant blue theme. The welcoming community, led by Coach Brian and his lovely wife Kat, creates a warm environment that has made my experience as a beginner incredibly positive.
New to muay thai? Start at Legacy Thai Boxing
Legacy Thai Boxing 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Legacy Thai Boxing
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
