As a parent, you want to give your child every advantage — confidence, focus, resilience, and strength to handle life’s challenges.


 Martial arts is one of the best tools to build those life skills from a young age, and at American Top Team Palm Beach Gardens (ATTPBG), we’re proud to be a trusted place where kids grow stronger, safer, and more confident every day.

Building Skills for Life — On and Off the Mats

At ATTPBG, we believe martial arts isn’t just about kicks and punches — it’s about shaping strong, confident individuals.
Through our structured kids' programs, your child will learn how to:


  • Focus better at school
  • Build real-world confidence
  • Respect themselves and others
  • Stay active, healthy, and motivated
  • Set and achieve meaningful goals

Every class is designed to challenge your child physically and mentally, helping them grow into the best version of themselves — in a fun, encouraging environment.

A Safe, Supportive Community for Every Child

Your child’s safety and well-being are our top priorities.


We’re proud to lead by example with:


  • Background-checked instructors who care deeply about your child's success.
  • A commitment to completing the nationally recognized Academy Safe program, strengthening our focus on safety, professionalism, and child development.
  • Classes built specifically for different age groups, ensuring appropriate instruction and positive experiences for everyone.

At ATTPBG, you can feel confident that your child is training in a safe, respectful, and inspiring environment.

Why Now is the Perfect Time to Start

We’re excited to announce that we are rebuilding and relaunching our Kids Program — and the momentum is stronger than ever.


There’s a new energy on the mats, a renewed focus on community and quality, and a perfect opportunity for new students to become part of something special.


Whether your child is trying martial arts for the first time or getting back into it, now is the perfect time to start fresh, grow, and thrive.

What to Expect in Every Kids Class

Every ATTPBG Kids Class is designed to:



  • Get kids moving, laughing, and learning
  • Teach real martial arts skills in a safe, structured way
  • Build discipline, teamwork, and resilience
  • Help kids leave class proud, sweaty, and smiling

From the first high-five to the last round of drills, we create an environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to do their best.

Some of our most committed athletes started with a single class. Over time, with effort and guidance, they transformed—from hobbyists to titleholders. At American Top Team Palm Beach Gardens, we’ve seen students go from their first-ever martial arts class to winning MMA and grappling championships. These aren’t overnight success stories—they’re stories of hard work, consistent coaching, and a team that never gives up on its people. We’ve helped: Youth competitors win national BJJ medals Local adults step into the cage for the first time Regional fighters climb the ranks and chase pro careers Whatever your goal is, we’re here to help you chase it.
