Look every school will tell you they are the "best" martial arts academy or the "premiere"school in central Florida. These are empty phrases however and don't really mean anything. While it is true every school offers similar programs in name, they are all very different. Each school has their vibe and business practices.
Hi! My name is Paul Rodriguez. I am a merciless seeker of knowledge, an occassional purveyor of wisdom, and a martial artist and strength coach. In 1996 a good friend of mine Din Thomas, introduced me to a then little known combat sport called the Ultimate Fighting Championship. I watched a skinny Brazilian (Royce Gracie) defeat several much larger opponents in a series of fights that consisted of no rules and no time limits.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been proven to be the most effective fighting style when in close-quarters or on the ground. Regardless of the size and strength of your opponents, you will learn the mechanics of the human body and bring them to submission through joint manipulations, chokes and holds, using leverage, and advanced grappling techniques.
Muay Thai training combines real fight strategies and techniques for a full body fun and interesting workout. Muay Thai's unique workout sculpts the muscles of the arms, legs, butt, and abs! It also increases your flexibility, speed, agility, power, and mental clarity. Each class you will learn how to defend yourself while having a blast!
MMA blends the footwork of boxing, the takedowns of wresting, the explosive kicks of Muay Thai, and the submissions of BJJ all in one program for the ultimate self defense program. MMA is also a combat sport that allows for a wide variety of fighting techniques from different martial arts to be used in competition.

Every time you come into the mat, all the problems from the outside world suddenly vanish and you are greeted by a welcoming community of competitive martial artists. The Muay Thai and BJJ lessons are world-class, with an emphasis on technique, efficiency, and pristine attention to detail. Everyone at the academy is looking to get better and make everyone else better, so the more experienced combat athletes are always happy to help out. At ATT, you get more than sports, exercise, self-defense systems, or therapy... it's a lifestyle.

The gym offers both children's classes and adult classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA. They have early morning classes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu twice a week, lunch time classes every day, and evening clases M-F, with late-morning/lunchtime classes on the weekends. Programs are centered around helping students meet their goals ranging from fitness, self-defense, and competition. The atmosphere is much less traditional than what one would think of a Martial Arts school and provides for a fun an welcoming training environment.

All I can say is WOW. The Jiu Jitsu program! This place (American Top Team East Colonial Blvd. Orlando FL.)! The Instructors! The Staff (Caroline)! The Students! Amazing!!!
I don't sugarcoat things and I don't beat around the bush."I have a lot of problems". I have health issues that impede a lot of what I do and can do. I am a disabled military veteran. But the instructors were so accommodating and willing to work around my issues that I just couldn't say NO!. They were Very inviting not intimidating at all. Now don't get me wrong I shopped around. And I told them

I’ve been training for some time now at different gyms and had the pleasure of attending a few classes at This ATT. The staff is very friendly and the instructor is extremely knowledgeable. I’m unable to attend since I moved away but I still recommend this gym to everyone I know in the area. Keep up the great work!

One of the main things that I have notice here is that it doesn’t really matter what your goals are when you walk through the door. Everything that you do challenges you and motivates you. This in turn allows you to achieve whatever goal you had. On top of that you have a blast and get to meet some great people.

Started training Muay Thai at another location but didnt feel like I was getting the training I needed. Made the move to ATT Orlando and the training that has since been received in the form of Muay Thai and BJJ I feel incredibly confident in my skills and would put many of the fighters in my gym against almost anybody
