From the reviews
Found them through a co-worker, I was looking for a place for my oldest son to train. From day one they have been absolutely amazing to deal with. Inviting atmosphere for any level of training, Coach South has an amazing way with the children.
Mike is the man. Taught my son excellent Jiu Jitzu skills that he brought with him to competition and the real world. Here everyone is family. All the instructors have been in the ring. They bring that experience from the cage to the classroom. The Hybrid Striking class is great.
Top Team Gulfport has something for everyone, no matter the skill level! From Tiny Turtles (3-4 year old) to adult classes, kickboxing that is ready for every level of fitness, and several other martial arts style classes. Their staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
Best gym I have been to and best workout I have ever done. Will and Sami are great instructors and treat you like family. Once I started I look forward to going back every week. Never boring and a lot of fun.
New to kickboxing? Start at American Top Team Gulfport
American Top Team Gulfport comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at American Top Team Gulfport
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
