From the reviews
I love American top team I give this gym 5 stars and all of my heart . The coaches are great the team is really good . Eric does a good job matching up because he put me to the test now I know (better) what areas I need to work on .
I love coming here . It is a great group of guys and girls that come in work hard and have a good time. Coach Eric and coach John are as good of guys as you will find in the business.
I LOVE THIS GYM!!!! American Top Team has the best of the things that count in life!!! The instructors are great!! They are a supportive, knowledgeable, and helpful! The people are amazing, supportive and fun!!! it is so family friendly it makes all other gyms pale in comparison!!! Coach Eric is great!
American Top Team is the first martial arts school I have been to. I am coming up on 2 years and have learned a lot of different techniques since first joining. They have convenient class schedules for morning, night, or weekend.
New to muay thai? Start at American MMA
American MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 American MMA
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.
