BJJ – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of American Top Team’s core training programs. We have produced a multitude of champions in all types of competitions. This, all under the tutelage and watchful eye of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Champion Emyr Shark Bussade.  Sahrk is a world class teacher and MMA coach, always striving to get the most out of his students. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is primarily a ground-fighting art. Most techniques involve both fighters on the mat. There is a heavy emphasis on positional strategy, which is about which fighter is on top, and where each person’s legs are. Positions are stable situations, from which a large variety of techniques are available to both fighters.

The Primary positions include: Guard: The person applying the guard is on the bottom with his back on the ground; his legs are wrapped around his opponent’s hips (who is said to be “in the guard”).  Side control: Chest-on-chest but without the legs being entangled.Mount: On top of his opponent (who “is mounted”), sitting on his chest, with one leg on either side of his torso.Back mount: Behind his opponent, with his feet hooked around his opponent’s hips and upper thighs. Specific techniques taught are designed either to improve one’s position (for example, to “pass the guard”, by going from being “in the guard” to getting around the opponent’s legs, resulting in side control); or else as a finishing submissions. Most submissions are either chokes (cutting off the blood supply to the brain) or arm locks (hyperextending the elbow, or twisting the shoulder).

Muay Thai – Muay Thai is a devastating striking art that blends techniques such as; kicks, knees, elbows, punches, and clinch work. Muay Thai (also known as Thai Boxing) is a fighting art that originated in Thailand (formerly Siam) 2000 years ago. Often called the “Toughest ring sport in the world” it is known for its powerful techniques of punching (boxing), elbows, knees, and kicks. The Muay Thai practitioner must have superior speed and conditioning through hard training. Our Level 1 Muay Thai Class is perfect for the beginner to martial arts training, and is one of our most popular classes. It will train the student in mental as well as  physical conditioning. It also has a concentration on offensive tool development that will prepare the practitioner for all other classes we offer as well as the street. This class will provide beginners with the tools they need for the ring even though they may never do compete and the complete conditioning of a fighter.

It is arguably the most sought-after kickboxing style in the world.
