  • New Mongkol for the gym!

    New Mongkol for the gym!

    American Top Team-Tracy has received a new “Mongkol” from Master Toddy in 🇹🇭 Thailand. The Mongkol is a traditional cerimonial head band that is worn by Muay Thai fighters as they enter the ring. It reoresents your gym, teacher and teammates. Authentic Muay Thai gyms have one that the fighters get to wear as a honor before their fights. The Mongkol is taken down from a high place in gym where it hangs, as it is never suposed to be just laying around someplace. The mongkol is blessed by a priest or a Ajarn (master) and always treated with respect and dignity. Just before the fight begins, the coach or someone of high esteem will take the Mongkol off of the fighters head ....

  • Prepare your kids for life.

    Prepare your kids for life.

    Activities and sports like Hockey, Baseball, Soccer, Gymnastics, Girl/Boy Scouts etc... are all great hobby’s and pass time activities and I let my kids choose whatever activities they want. I categorize swimming lessons differently; swimming is a life skill and non-negotiable in my house. Sooner or later my children will be exposed to water, (be it a pool, lake, river or ocean) and not having basic swimming skills and confidence around the water will hold them back and could be potentially fatal. They don’t need to be Olympic swimmers but they need enough basic skills to tread water and survive but ideally are competent enough that they don’t have to be nervous or ....

  • Understanding Thai scoring in Muay Thai

    The basic understanding of scoring at the highest and most professional levels inMuay Thaiihaveoften eluded not just fans of the art, but even the practitioners themselves as well. This is likely due to the fact that the scoring system in Muay Thai can be considered one of the most unique when compared to other combat sports around the world. From how strikes are scored, to how rounds are judged; the Muay Thai scoring system differs significantly from the systems the average fight fan maybe used to. Because of this, fight fans, practicing martial artists, or even professional fighters who are used to the usual 10 point must system used in popular combat sports likeboxingormixed martial ....

    What is the Mongkol or Muay Thai headband?

    Why wear a Muay Thai fighters the Mongkol? The Mongkol is a blessed headband and thus a talisman. It is worn during the Wai Khru ceremony in the ring. For thefight it is however not worn. The coach of each fighter takes the Mongkol from the head and hangs it in the corner. This brings the fighters luck and protects himfrom possible dangers.

  • Be like a weed.

    Be like a weed.

    Be Like a Weed Pretty random statement, right? My Iaido and Kobudo teacher, Shihan Nishiuchi, shared this concept with us during class one day. At first it made no sense, but after digesting it for a while, I think I finally get it. You see, a weed will try to grow to its fullest potential where ever it finds itself. It doesn't ask to have more fertile soil, or for more sunlight? It never feels sorry for itself. It simply does it's best with what it was given. And then.....if it gets knocked down or stepped on, a weed just puts all of it's effort into growing upright again, no questions asked. I have a great deal more respect for weeds now than I used to. They stand proud......they don't ....

It can be highly rewarding, both for your fitness and your overall well-being. For beginners, the hardest part of martial arts might be choosing one to start with. Picking the right one for your goals is crucial if you’re going to enjoy yourself and stick with it. To help with that decision, we’ve put together this guide to some of the main types of martial arts out there ....

    Using A Traditional Art to Solve a Modern Problem Involving The Use of Force

    Using A Traditional Art to Solve a Modern Problem Involving The Use of Force Jan 27, 2022 By Terry L. Wilson In August 2021, HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel aired a segment titled “Force for Change.” The 20-minute-long portion of the monthly newsmagazine dealt with the search for a solution to the problem of excessive force being applied during arrest-and-control procedures. HBO’s report eventually took viewers to an MMA cage to present an unlikely solution that could enable the police to get a better grip on the problem using a traditional art from Japan that came to America via Brazil: jiu-jitsu . As all martial artists know by now, the grappling ....

American Top Team has amazing instructors/staff and they are very professional. I love the flexibility in the classes they offer. Instructors know each and every kid by name. I like the balanced approach of teaching where there is a right amount of strictness and some humor to keep the environment fun and keep the kids motivated. I actually feel like there is learning going on, and my kids are benefiting from it.
