From the reviews
Found them through a co-worker, I was looking for a place for my oldest son to train. From day one they have been absolutely amazing to deal with. Inviting atmosphere for any level of training, Coach South has an amazing way with the children.
Mike is the man. Taught my son excellent Jiu Jitzu skills that he brought with him to competition and the real world. Here everyone is family. All the instructors have been in the ring. They bring that experience from the cage to the classroom. The Hybrid Striking class is great.
Top Team Gulfport has something for everyone, no matter the skill level! From Tiny Turtles (3-4 year old) to adult classes, kickboxing that is ready for every level of fitness, and several other martial arts style classes. Their staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
We have been a part of this gym for 5+ years. Our son started out with MMA training and now trains JiuJitsu. The coaches here are beyond amazing. Our son has excelled beyond what we could have imagined and we have the coaches and his teammates to thank for that. It’s not just a gym for us. We are family!
New to muay thai? Start at American Top Team Gulfport
American Top Team Gulfport 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 Top Team Gulfport
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.
