How to Set Martial Arts Goals and Actually Hit Them
December 8, 2025
Goal-setting is a critical part of martial arts—but success comes from more than just saying, “I want to get my next belt.” At ATTPBG, we help students of all levels create meaningful goals and stay accountable.
Here’s how to set (and hit) your martial arts goals:
- Be Specific. “Get better” is vague. “Drill armbar transitions three times a week” is clear.
- Make it Measurable. Track progress by classes attended, techniques learned, or rounds sparred.
- Set Short-Term Milestones. Don’t just aim for a belt—aim for weekly improvements.
- Stay Consistent. Progress isn’t always flashy, but consistency wins.
- Lean on Coaches. Ask questions, request feedback, and stay coachable.
Whether you’re a beginner or a competitor, our coaches are here to help you succeed in the gym and beyond.
Let us help you build and crush your goals. Call (561) 383-3383, email contact@attpbg.com, or schedule your free class today.
Martial arts come in many forms, and if you’re new to striking, you might wonder: what’s the difference between Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and MMA?
Wrestling is one of the most important components of MMA—and at American Top Team in Palm Beach Gardens, we believe every fighter, no matter their base, should train wrestling at least once a week.
Muay Thai is one of the most effective and empowering martial arts in the world—and at ATTPBG, our Muay Thai program is open to beginners and experienced strikers alike. If you’re in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, or West Palm Beach and want to improve your cardio, sharpen your striking, or test your skills in the ring, we’ve got the class for you. Our coaches provide technical instruction in elbows, knees, kicks, and clinch work while maintaining a high-energy, respectful environment. No prior experience? No problem. Just bring a good attitude and a willingness to learn.
