From the reviews
I train at the Brazilian Top Team in Northeast San Antonio, but I popped in for a Saturday class at this location. Prof. Rafael and the other students were very welcoming. Prof. Rafael ran a fantastic class. I would 100% recommend this gym to all of my Austin friends!
Professor Rafa does an outstanding job running the class. The instruction was clear, detailed, and welcoming to everyone regardless of experience level. As someone visiting from Dallas, I was immediately made to feel like part of the team from the moment I walked through the door.
My time at BTT has been nothing short of amazing. This is a place where more tenured, higher belt practitioners as well as beginners can really thrive due to the collaboration amongst the team. Everyone wants the other to succeed and the environment feels like a home away from home.
Great place to training, Black Belt Professors running the program for Kids, adults, hobbyists and advance. The academy is focused to be a family environment with a lot activities for the kids like birthday parties and buddy night/ parents night out. Classes Gi and No Gi for beginners and advance, also self defense.
New to muay thai? Start at Brazilian Top Team Austin
Brazilian Top Team Austin 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 Brazilian Top Team Austin
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.
