American Top Team Longwood is by far the best mixed martial arts facility in the area. Not only is it the best but it is the only true mixed martial arts facility in the area. I have personally checked out many of the other schools in the area that claim to have mixed martial arts programs, and honestly all they seem to be are karate schools that have changed the sign on the front door to ride the wave created by the wonderful sport of mixed martial arts. ATT Longwood offers a variety of classes such as Brazilian JuJitsu, Submission Grappling, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Judo and of course Mixed Martial Arts. These classes are taught by world class instructors that not only specialize in the field of instruction but still compete on a regular basis. There are not many schools in the country let alone the greater Orlando area that give you the opportunity to train with instructors that have been world champions many times over, such as 9 time UFC veteran Din Thomas, M-1 Global Select light weight champion Jose Figueroa, a World Amateur Muay Thai Champion in Alistair Wilson and former New Jersey Golden Gloves Champion Dorian Szanchez. Besides the trainers that I have just mentioned, many guest instructors tend to stop by from time to time to offer new insight and basically switch things up such as UFC veteran Luigi Fioravanti. Aside from the world class training that is offered by ATT Longwood it also fosters a family atmosphere that is extremely conducive to training, there is never a shortage of teammates, family and friends that are willing to go off to the side and work with you on a technique you may be having trouble with. ATT Longwood also offers a childrens program that teaches all the aforementioned disciplines but also gives the children confidence and structure as well as "bully proof" self defense tactics to not only defend themselves in certain situations but also diffuse the situation before it arises. In the short time that I have been with ATT Longwood as both a student and a parent I have seen both adults and children advance their skill sets to the point in which they have won various grappling tournaments, muay thai fights, and mixed martial arts fights this in turn has developed many of the students into potential future champions. American Top Team Longwood is much more than just a gym it is a place where people come to get in shape, learn and perfect various combat disciplines, its a place where strangers become a family and above all else a place where champions are made.

I trained at ATT Longwood for a little over a year and I genuinely dont have a single negative thing to say. From the top down, I received professional treatment, a welcoming atmosphere from both staff and students, and high level technical coaching. Even though I entered as a complete novice in martial arts, the classes were ran in a way that I was consistently comfortable and matched up with someone where I could learn as well as be challenged. I attended Muay Thai, BJJ, and MMA classes, and I can genuinely say my only regret is not training there more before having to move away for work. Joe, Jose, and Dave ran the classes I mainly attended; they were all excellent coaches that will push you physically and monitor your understanding of the techniques so that you are constantly improving. The environment was always competitive, but was never overly aggressive in nature. That is not to say that some of the guys didnt go at it some of the times, which they did, but it was always mutual and with sportsmanlike intent. Whether you are an experienced practitioner with interest in competing that is looking for high level coaches or a complete beginner looking for exercise and maybe a confidence boost, I highly recommend ATT Longwood.

First and foremost, American Top Team Longwood promotes a family atmosphere in the gym. People of all ages, ranging from 5-55, train at the gym and everyone receives a high level of instruction from the instructors, who all have extensive experience competing in Martial Arts. To be truly honest, ATT Longwood has changed my life in so many incredible ways. I started training awhile ago and to be honest, I felt truly lost in the world. I didnt have many friends,mentors, nor confidence in myself. Practicing Martial Arts at ATT Longwood has given me all of these things and even more so, it has given me a new purpose in life. Thanks to ATT Longwood, I now aspire to be far more than average. I now have aspirations to be great and truly test the limitations of my humanity. In essence, I truly want to be the best Martial Artist in the word. It doesnt matter if you want to just lose a couple of pounds or if you want to be UFC champion of the world, ATT Longwood is the place to be to fulfill your goals!

I went there to try them out and found the instructors and owners had a bit of a bad attitude. Just didnt have a friendly atmosphere at all. It has been a while and Ive been training at another school, and what I have found is that the techniques taught by all these different mma schools is pretty much the same or similar. You learn muay thai for striking and jiu jitsu for ground, and some wrestling, and then transitions between all of them. They all teach this. For me, I wanted to feel welcome and didnt want to roll with a lot of guys who had attitude or ego maniacs. Now, hopefully they have changed in the past year or so since I was there. Maybe you will have a different experience...

After looking around for a Martial Arts/Boxing gym in several cities over a couple of years, I am very happy with American Top Team Longwood. Not only are the people involved knowledgeable, intelligent and good natured, it has an incredible atmosphere of comradery. The coaches are excellent. Pro MMA figthers Din Thomas and Jose Figueroa teach BJJ and MMA, World Amateur Champion Alyster Wilson teach Muay Thai and Dorian Szanchez teach Boxing. All Coaches are excellent and make their classes fun and interesting. Competitors and non competitors alike train with control and intensity. I highly recommend ATT Longwood.

This is a school that students can feel relaxed at, but yet sweat their butts off. The instructors are intelligent, thoughtful, and highly skilled in their arts. If you want to get into shape, and lose a lot of weight, learn how to PROTECT YOUR FAMILY. American Top Team Longwood, is the right place for you. Great Jujitsu, excellent Muay Thai, if youre looking to become the next MMA champ this is the place to train. Im in my 50s and every class I take, just makes me feel younger, stronger and healthier, I love this school!

ATT Longwood is the BEST MMA school in the area! I trained there from 2008 to 2009. The instructions were very patient and showed us excellent technique. Not only did they show us HOW to stand, defend, feint, punch, kick, etc, they also showed us WHY it was important to do it that way. Whether you are just starting out and only want to be able to defend yourself from bullies with bad haircuts or you want to be able to fight like the guys in the UFC and many other major MMA orgs, this is the place you want to train.
