Starting something new can be exciting — and a little intimidating — for both kids and parents.


At American Top Team Palm Beach Gardens (ATTPBG), we make sure your child’s first martial arts experience is
fun, welcoming, and unforgettable.


Here’s exactly what you can expect at their first class:

1. A Warm Welcome

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff who will guide you through the simple check-in process.


We’ll introduce your child to their coach and classmates, making sure they feel comfortable before class even begins.


No pressure. No stress. Just smiles and support.

2. Learning the Basics

In their first class, your child will learn:

  • How to bow and show respect (a key martial arts tradition)

  • Basic stances, movements, and beginner techniques

  • Fun drills to build balance, coordination, and focus

We keep it simple, positive, and paced to each child’s comfort level.

3. Encouragement Every Step of the Way

Our instructors are experts at working with kids of all ages and experience levels.


Your child will receive clear instructions, lots of encouragement, and patient guidance — helping them feel confident and excited to learn more.

4. A Structured, Safe Environment

Safety is our top priority.


Our facility is clean, organized, and designed specifically for martial arts training.


All classes are supervised closely, and all coaches are background-checked to ensure a safe, professional environment.


Parents are welcome to stay and watch — we love having you cheer them on!.

5. An Invitation to Keep Growing

At the end of class, we’ll celebrate your child’s effort and invite you to continue their journey with us.


No pressure — just a chance to see if ATTPBG feels like the right fit for your family (spoiler: it usually does!).
