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.

If your child isn’t clicking with traditional sports like soccer or baseball, martial arts (especially Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) might be the answer.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the best activities a child can do to build discipline, focus, and self-control. At American Top Team Palm Beach Gardens, our youth BJJ programs are structured to foster these life skills from an early age. Every class is rooted in respect—for self, partners, and coaches. Through drills, games, and technique, kids learn how to stay focused, follow directions, and persist through challenges. There are no shortcuts in Jiu-Jitsu. Kids must learn to earn their stripes and belts through consistency, effort, and a good attitude. Parents throughout Palm Beach County say they’ve seen amazing changes in their kids after just a few months of training. Better behavior at school, improved confidence, and emotional resilience are common benefits. And the best part? They love it. Our classes are fun, interactive, and designed to keep young minds engaged while reinforcing values that will last a lifetime. Give your child the tools to succeed in life. Call  (561) 383-3383  , email  contact@attpbg.com  , or book your child’s free BJJ class today.
