Evolution Muay Thai

Evolution Muay Thai in New York City is led by Brandon Levi, a coach whose approach blends serious technical training with a lighthearted, no-nonsense attitude. After competing in both Australia and Thailand, Brandon established Evolution with the belief that hard work and humor can go hand in hand. His 25 years of experience across Muay Thai, boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and freestyle karate have shaped a gym culture where everyone is expected to check their ego at the door, embrace the grind, and find camaraderie through both sweat and laughter. Classes are structured with clear progression. Beginners start with Muay Thai pad work, calisthenics, and basic drills, moving through clinch, intermediate drills, and eventually into sparring and advanced competition training. Each level has its own requirements and expectations, with safety and respect for training partners emphasized at every stage. The curriculum also includes boxing for Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in both gi and no-gi formats, and open mat sessions for additional practice. Students interested in competition find a path through advanced drills and hard-contact sparring, while hobbyists and first-timers are welcomed into all-levels classes and encouraged to advance at their own pace. The coaching team features instructors like Brian Kemsley, who brings international fighting and teaching experience, and Frantz Pierre, a top competitor known for his clinch game and knockout power who still trains daily alongside new students. Jhon Robinson rounds out the core staff, bringing a background in Taekwondo, boxing, and relentless dedication to the fight game. Evolution Muay Thai has become a home for serious athletes, newcomers, and everyone in between, with a teaching philosophy rooted in hard work, technical growth, and the belief that martial arts can be both challenging and genuinely fun.
