Self-defense is not just about fighting—it’s about awareness, confidence, and preparation. At American Top Team Palm Beach Gardens, we believe everyone, regardless of age or experience level, should learn the basics of self-protection.



Our self-defense principles are integrated into every class we teach—whether it's BJJ, MMA, or striking. Students learn how to stay calm under pressure, maintain distance, use verbal assertiveness, and respond effectively in dangerous situations. These are essential life skills for men, women, and teens in today’s unpredictable world.


Palm Beach County residents who train at ATTPBG often cite increased confidence, better body language, and heightened situational awareness. Even after just a few classes, you’ll walk taller and feel more in control.


And the best part? You’ll get stronger, more flexible, and fitter while learning real-life skills that could one day make a difference.

Empower yourself with self-defense training. Call (561) 383-3383, email contact@attpbg.com, or schedule your free class today.
