American Top Team Orlando

In 2003, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion and legendary BJJ black belt Ricardo Liborio teamed up with executive Dan Lambert to form American Top Team. Dan, also a black belt in jiu-jitsu, provided the financial support and business expertise while Ricardo took on the role as head instructor. In just a couple of years ATT grew into a 20,000 square foot headquarters and one of the largest most active MMA teams in the world. The team has thousands of members who train and compete in MMA, boxing, muay Thai, submission grappling, wrestling, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. American Top Team fighters regularly showcase their skills in some of the biggest promotions on the planet including: UFC, Bellator, WSOF, Titan FC just to name a few. The American Top Team brand of MMA and jiu-jitsu has now spread from South Florida to more than 60 martial arts academies, across 31 states, 3 countries and still growing. 

In August of 2006 under the direct guidance of Paul Rodriguez, ATT first opened it’s doors here in Orlando. Paul had an unshakeable commitment to uphold the standards set forth by American Top Team and is proud to continue its legacy of strength here in Central Florida.

We help people improve their lives through martial arts and fitness training. We are aware people have different goals for practicing martial arts. Throughout our history we have helped our members lose weight, relieve stress, develop mental toughness, become more confident, build a positive mental attitude, learn self defense, and get in awesome shape. We firmly believe that martial arts training can benefit everyone, so we make it easy for people of all abilities and fitness levels to participate.

We’re different

Look every school will tell you they are the “best” martial arts academy or the “premiere”school in central Florida. These are empty phrases however and don’t really mean anything.

​

While it is true every school offers similar programs in name, they are all very different. Each school has their vibe and business practices. Each has their own culture and teaching philosophies. Even the American Top Team schools here in Central Florida. We are not franchised like McDonalds or LA Fitness so we are all very different. Be sure to try them all and find one that fits your needs and where you’ll feel comfortable to train
