ATT as it’s commonly referred to has trained and developed over 67 fighters in the largest Mixed Martial Arts (“MMA”) organizations such as the UFC (“Ultimate Fighting Championship”), WEC, Strikeforce, Bellator, PRIDE, K-1, DREAMS and Sengoku.

That same knowledge, born out of hard work, perseverance, and dedication honed from our professional MMA fight team, has been passed down to our students who train in MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (“BJJ”), Submission Grappling, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Kids MMA, Women’s Fitness, and Self-Defense.

Our lineage can be traced back to the legendary Carlson Gracie where his vision, open-mind, and trademark aggressive, attacking style have greatly influenced us.
We bring all of this knowledge to our students where we instruct and train beginners, advanced, kids and adults all with the same desire to help you achieve your goals.

ATTENTION!

Not all MMA gyms are the same!

Unfortunately there are more “wannabies” then there are real gyms. “wannabie” gyms are fly by night instructors who teach kickboxing and call it authentic muay thai. “wannabie” gyms are owners and instructors who try to sell you that they are tough guys who are undefeated on the streets so training with them will make you tough also! “wannabie” gyms are karate dojos offering “MMA Programs”.

When you visit a gym ask them if they have:

Certified Krus in Muay Thai

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belts

All American Wrestlers

Golden Glove Boxers

Muay Thai Champions

MMA Champions

Boxing Champions

BJJ Champions

WHY?

BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL OF THE ABOVE!

American Top Team of Franklin Square MMA vs. “Wannabies”
Qualified Instructors- The trainers at American Top Team of Franklin Square are all experts in their field, and have been training and teaching specifically for MMA since 2001, we were the first school on Long Island, NY to have a MMA cage in our academy. The head instructor was the first Kru in Muay Thai to teach on Long Island. Our Jiu Jitsu coach is an International Fight League Champion, and our wrestling coach is a 3x All American Wrestler. You can rest assure that our trainers are some of the best in the business and are dedicated to sharing their knowledge with you! Unqualified Instructors- With the rising popularity in MMA a lot of Karate schools are now promoting that they are a Mixed Martial Arts school. DON’T BE FOOLED just because some has a background in Martial Arts does not mean they are qualified to teach MMA. Jiu Jitsu schools will throw you in a gi and tell you that this will help you in MMA because it’s Jiu Jitsu. Again DON’T BE FOOLED, traditional gi jiu jitsu is a great sport but it isn’t geared specifically for MMA
High Level Takedowns- With Wrestlers dominating MMA it would be faulty for any school to not teach it to their students. Here at American Top Team of Franklin Square we have a 3x All American Wrestler from Hofstra University, Long Island Legend Jon Masa as our wrestling coach. And a Multiple state and national champion Bryan Vettel as our Jiu Jitsu coach. Our theory towards MMA is to make sure our students are proficient in takedown ability, which has led us to dominate in all our competitions Little to no Takedowns- Many academies have instructors with little to no takedown experience and will teach their students poor and useless technique which can lead to injury. Many “MMA” schools haven’t embraced wrestling and are stills stubborn to teach only guard jumping and judo throws which may be extremely ineffective in Mixed Martial Arts
High Level Striking- American Top Team of Franklin Square though an MMA school is undefeated in Muay Thai Kickboxing. The striking coaches at American Top Team of Franklin Square are the some of the best in the region, Head coach David Martucci was the first kru to teach on Long Island after years of training in Thailand and Las Vegas with Master Toddy a world Thai Champion. Head striking coach Rodney Libermonte is well known in the New York area as being one of the leading Thai/Boxing trainers. Are striking is top notch! But don’t take our word for it try out a class and see for yourself. Low Level Striking- With Kickboxing, Boxing, and Muay thai classes sprouting up in every Weight lifting gym and martial arts gym in the world it’s hard to decide who knows what? The Majority of these places have instructors with little to no experience in actual boxing, or muay thai, and use kickboxing as a draw to bring in fitness clients. Many unfortunately mislead students into a false sense of security with their striking classes until they actually have to use it and are shown how much they didn’t know.
Fully equipped facility- Our Nassua county Franklin Square Facility is 5,000 sq. ft. equipped with state of the art cardio equipment, fully equipped weight room with dumbbells, cable and plate machines, and benches. We have a wide variety of agility, plyometric, cross training, and power lifting equipment as well. Our Martial Arts room is equipment with top of the line Zebra Mats, Heavy Bags, and brand new muay thai pads and boxing mitts. We Have a full size 22 ft competition cages and full size Locker room. The American Top Team organization has been known for creating superior athletes with great conditioning and we continue that tradition here at the Franklin Square MMA academy. Badly equipped facility- A lot of academies have a small mat area a couple of punching bags and worn down pads, with a couple of weight lifting pieces of equipment and a treadmill. They will try to sell you that you don’t need a lot of equipment and the training itself is all you need. WRONG! not only will having a fully equipped academy increase the level of your training it is also safer to have proper equipment.

Clean Facility- Our Franklin Square academy is the cleanest academy on Long Island. We have never had an outbreak of impetigo, staff, MRSA, or Ringworm because we thoroughly clean or facility everyday with the latest in safe non caustic antibacterial cleaning supplies. Also specific rules are in place to ensure our facility and mats stay completely clean. We have showers so that students who cannot access a shower at home immediately after training can wash up and stay clean. The health and safety of our students is of up most importance, and we emphasize hygiene by implementing rules and providing tips and consulting, so everyone can learn MMA in a clean environment
Dirty Facility- Many academies are dirty with the owners believing people who train in mma don’t care what the facility looks like as long as they receive hardcore training. WRONG! not only does having a clean facility look nice but it is medically necessary as dirty gyms are filled with bacteria and can be a cess pool for viruses, like ring worm, staph infection/MRSA, and impetigo. Most of these gyms create an environment with lack of rules that encourages bad hygiene, and when the majority of these gyms lacking a shower students are unable to wash up after practice which is mandatory. For your own safety please do not train at a gym if it is dirty because it could be hazardous to your health.
An Organized MMA Ranking System – American Top Team of Franklin Square provides an organized curriculum and has thrown out the old ways of picking up ranks in different martial arts and trying to combine it on your own…. Our ranking system is strict and only people deserving of being promoted will earn it. Along with the MMA rank, our students are co-promoted in no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai Kickboxing!

No MMA Ranking system -, We are the only gym in New York with a Mixed Martial Arts ranking system. Many gyms that advertise “MMA” are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools that throw punches and kicks once in a while – and promote through their kimono BJJ ranking system… The BJJ ranking system has been known for years to have a very poor wrestling and striking curriculum… so if they are claiming to be qualified in MMA based solely on their BJJ rank… ask them who coached them in kickboxing and what was their credentials… ask them who they learned how to wrestle from – if they say another BJJ person, this doesn’t leave them off the hook!

Learn Safely- American Top Team Mixed Martial Arts training program has rules and etiquette in place to ensure the safety of all its students. Learning MMA doesn’t mean you have “Go Hard!” or survive a beat down, these teaching practices are used by inexperienced trainers. The safety of our students is most important to us; we will provide you with excellent technique, and an amazing workout in a manner that is safe to all students. Our goal is to make sure no one gets injured and keep returning to class to learn more and more. When students have reached a certain level of conditioning and skill they are more than welcome to attend supervised sparring sessions that will allow them to get real world expiree while learning at the same time. No Safety- Many MMA schools have this misconception that the only way to learn how to fight is to put on boxing gloves and swing for the fences! This is not true… and actually can be counter-productive, besides dangerous. Many gyms also lack the technique to spar with control and spar hard to compensate for their lack of technique. Brawling during training proves nothing and only hinders the learning process and injures people. If you really want to brawl, save it for the street or in the cage.World Class Champions- Franklin Square MMA Academy has produced several Champions in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed martial Arts. Our academy has won 97% of its fights, and tournaments. WHY? Our student’s success in competition if they choose to is our up most responsibility. Competitor’s weather amateur or professional beginner or expert are all treated and attended to as if they are all professionals. Every competitor is prepared just like a professional with a detailed schedule of training, free private lessons with trainers, and free sessions with a conditioning trainer. With vast knowledge is conditioning and weight cutting or trainers are able to created competitors who are the strongest and fastest in their division. With expert researching we are able to formulate iron clad game plans to bring our competitors to victory. Excellent coaching during the fight allows our trainer’s help competitors make adjustments to win the fight. Our fighters have excellent discipline and commitment, traits fostered by our system which result in WINS. Are you looking to compete? Join a Team that wants you to win not just fight!Losing team- Unfortunately because of lack of training, conditioning, guidance and commitment many schools fail in competition. Every Academy wants to win but very few possess the right formula for winning. And with new academies trying to establish their pride many of their students are forced into competition way before they are ready, usually resulting in a lose that can end their passion for the sport. Lack of researching, game plan formulating, and cage side coaching leaves many of these fighters on their own which sadly results in a losing. With no system of winning in place it’s hard for fighters in these academies to ever excel.30 DAY FREE TRIAL-If all of this information on this Web page isn’t enough to convince you that we are the #1 source for MMA on Long Island, we will give you 30 Days to see it for yourself!

Ask them for a month of Free Training and they will laugh in your face! WHY? Because your only important to them if you pay. Most schools just want to throw you in classes and drag you thru training without caring why you even wanted to do Martial Arts.
