My son is involved in just about every sport or activity you can name. They of course all have been fun and positive for him, but none can compare to what he has acquired from his time at American Top Team (ATT). ATT not only provided my son the opportunity to further develop physical skills unlike any other sport, but it has also increased his self-confidence, self-discipline, patience, friendships and understanding. In the short time he has been training I have seen a great growth of good character in my son. I cannot pin point it to just one reason why our experience at ATT has been so positive. I think they have a great equation in play; the instructors, the students, their families, and everyone that is involved. Over all it is a great combination that gave me the confidence as a parent to know I was doing a positive thing for my son, even more than what I expected. The instructors are amazing. Somehow they manage to keep the kids focused while having fun at the same time. As a spectator parent I also feel positive about my experience. The other families and staff are very easy going and amicable. I feel like I have a new extended family. In conclusion ATT has provided an additional learning environment, different from the academic classroom, but just as valuable to a child, his community, and his future. Thank you American Top Team!

To the guys at American Top Team,

We just want to thank you for the great experience that us and our boys have been having over the past year. Both us and our boys were looking for a place to work out, train and box. We heard that Olympic Gold medalists, Howard Davis Jr. had boxing classes there, and we had to have our families join. What we found when we got there was the World's greatest MMA/Jiu-Jitsu training facility. Being fans of the sport we immediately saw faces from T.V. After meeting Liborio he suggested the boys try MMA, which they love. From the second we joined the gym we were treated like family from all the staff. The boys now train in boxing and Jiu-Jitsu, while we workout. The attention that is given to our boys from the instructors is none like we have ever seen.

Growing up in the amateur boxing world I have been around many gyms and training facilities. I have never seen a higher level of instructors, from Shark, Edson, Chris and Mike, they all give the boys the special individual attention that they need. Not to mention how great Howard has been with the kids. Liborio invited us to an AFC event, which he gave us tickets for. After getting there he gave each of our kids free ATT shirts and took them backstage. ATT dominated the event, for the boys to see their instructors dominate the event was fantastic. Liborio made us feel like we were American Top Team. After doing some research and finding out the legend that Liborio is, we are really impressed with the attention that he gives our families. The boys have even competed in a submission grappling tournament in which they did very well. We are so happy that we found American Top Team, it has become a second home to us. Thank you guys!!

To those interested in joining a top notch martial arts team: My young daughters have been a part of American Top Team for a little over a year and have had a great experience. From the moment we entered the gym for the first time we were greeted with a friendly caring staff. The very first day was a bit nerve racking for my little ones, however, by the end of the class I knew I had made the right choice. The instructors acknowledged the new students and went well out of their way to make them feel at home. They truly treat my children as if they were their own and continuously strive to make them improve. Aside from the instructors being extremely experienced and accomplished, they take a genuine interest in the progress of their students. I don’t know of anywhere that offers this level of instruction to children. They have even traveled several hundred miles to coach my daughters during competitions. The staff places a strong emphasis on training, safety and most importantly education. The American Top Team Staff has taken the time to review report cards, check on their academic progress and positively reinforce good work. I have seen my daughter’s level of confidence improve and they have learned the importance of respect. When my daughters first signed up I wanted them to be able to defend themselves if they ever had to. I had no idea they would enjoy the competitive side of the arts and belong to a team that they believe in.

I was sold on ATT the minute I met Liborio. I had no idea as to who he was or what he had accomplished, but I could see the passion for teaching and love for children when he spoke about the school and I was sold. Once my boys started the program, I did more research, and I was amazed to see that they were being taught by not one, or two, but three world champions and that every day they were meeting people who were, quite literally, the best at what they did. I can’t imagine there is another place in America (the world) that is so full of talent, and I could see the impact upon my boys immediately. The great part is, not only were they better physically and mentally, I expected that from any martial arts, but they were also better people. That is what really makes ATT different in my mind. I can go on forever likening Liborio to Michael Jordan, or bragging of the 21 black belts on staff. It’s great to see guys on TV every time there is an event, and it’s not hard to make a case that ATT is the best MMA team on the planet. Ultimately, that’s not what makes ATT great. My family loves ATT because it is exactly that, a family, a place full of people who we respect and care for. We came to join a gym, but what we found was a home.
