  • Leaping into the unknown

    Leaping into the unknown

    Leaping Into the Unknown: How Instructor Shannon Faces Life’s Hardest Obstacles At American Top Team-Tracy, we believe martial arts isn’t just about what happens on the mats — it’s about how we face life’s toughest moments with the same courage, discipline, and humility we train with every day. No one embodies that spirit more than our own Instructor Shannon Albracht. Recently, Shannon took that mindset to new heights — literally — when he jumped with the World War II Airborne Demonstration Team. Dressed in full WWII-era paratrooper gear, he stepped into a historic C-47 aircraft, just as American paratroopers did in the 1940s, and ....

  • “Wild” Billy does it again

    “Wild” Billy does it again

    Billy stepped into the ring for his 6th full-rules Muay Thai war — and what a battle it was. He came out strong in round one, sharp and composed, earning the edge early. Then came round two… where things got rough. Billy took serious damage, nearly out of it, but refused to fold. That’s where heart takes over — where fighters are made, not born. In round three, he made the right adjustments, dug deep, and turned the tide completely — dominating to the final bell and walking away with a unanimous decision victory. 💪 That’s what Wild Billy James is all about — skill, grit, and pure heart. #MuayThai #FullRules #Victory #HeartOfAFighter ....

  • ATT-Tracy hosts epic open sparring night!

    ATT-Tracy hosts epic open sparring night!

    What a night. The air thick with sweat, adrenaline, and the unspoken pact of lunatics who willingly line up to trade leather under the neon hum of a Friday night. Late-night sparring—a circus of controlled chaos—teams from all corners of NorCal rolling in with their killers, their dreamers, their half-mad journeymen chasing the high of impact and rhythm. It wasn’t a tournament, it wasn’t a war—just a feverish gathering of tribes, each man and woman stepping into the ring to find out what’s real. Gloves thundering, bodies colliding, laughter spilling out between rounds like gasoline on hot pavement. No losers. No tourists. Just fighters, sharpening ....

  • MDL Muay Thai Development League action.

    MDL Muay Thai Development League action.

    Into the Fire Without Flames: MDL Emeryville, August 23 The MDL rolled into Emeryville last Saturday like a small storm contained inside a school gymnasium. You could feel it before you even stepped through the doors of ECCL — the tension, the chatter, the smell of Thai oil and nervous ambition. It was not war. Not yet. This was E-class Muay Thai, the proving ground, a place where young fighters step out of the shadows and take their first wild swings at destiny under the flickering lights. American Top Team–Tracy came armed to the teeth with 19 athletes. Nineteen hungry souls strapped in for the ride, looking for blood without seeking it, looking for fire ....

  • Albracht wins Arizona Super Welterweight Title

    Albracht wins Arizona Super Welterweight Title

    There was blood in the air and bad music on the loudspeakers, the kind of place where the locals drink cheap beer and bet rent money on violence. Cade Albracht — the damned road warrior — walked straight into enemy territory again, the underdog with a crooked grin and murder in his eyes. Five rounds of pure technical sorcery, the kind of Muay Thai that makes priests question God and gamblers lose their shirts. The hometown hero came storming forward, throwing big shots like a man possessed, but Cade had the antidote — fast-twitch lightning, fight IQ like a pool shark, and a gas tank that just wouldn’t die. When the smoke cleared and the drunks sobered, Cade was ....

  • The rise of Wild Billy…

    The rise of Wild Billy…

    There are fighters born in the fire — and then there are men like Billy James, who walk willingly into it. Billy came through the doors of American Top Team Tracy with no fights, no experience, just a raw edge and a look in his eye like he’d already been ten rounds with life itself. He was 31 then. Now he’s 35, with five hard-earned wins, one title, and now one loss — a record that tells a story, but never the full one. This past weekend at Oakland’s Legends Muay Thai, Billy entered the arena with the same grit and intensity that built his name. In round one, he was in full control — landing crisp, damaging shots and dropping his opponent with ....

  • A Martial Arts Story for new students and old alike.

    A Martial Arts Story for new students and old alike.

    A new student—still green, just starting out—was shadowboxing before class. One of the top fighters in the gym walked over. A Kru in the making. Fast. Precise. Dangerous. Everyone knew who he was. Everyone respected him. He introduced himself. Asked the beginner how training was going. The beginner was surprised—and fired up. This was one of the best in the gym. He seized the moment. “How do you get that good?” he asked. The fighter didn’t smile. Didn’t joke. Just answered straight. “I’ve been training a long time. And I only take private lessons.” The beginner froze. Private lessons? That must cost a ton. But maybe ....

    Our academy is certified by the Thai Government!

    I was truly honored to receive this official recognition from the Government of Thailand. While our gym is based in Tracy, California, I had the opportunity to travel to my friend Kru John’s gym in Fullerton to formally accept the award. It was a proud and humbling moment—not just for me, but for everyone who has been part of our journey in building and growing our Muay Thai program. This certification represents much more than a title. It is a symbol of trust and respect from the Thai government, acknowledging our commitment to preserving the cultural integrity, technical excellence, and spiritual heart of Muay Thai. To be recognized by the Sports Authority of Thailand and its ....

    Innovation

    THE DEATH OF THE OLD DRAGON: WHY YOUR DOJO FEARS REAL INNOVATION “Everybody loves innovation, as long as it’s been done before.” That’s the truth, brother. Etch it in the bamboo of every ancient kata scroll and staple it to the front door of every modern martial arts academy this side of Bangkok or Bakersfield. Because what we have now isn’t evolution—it’s choreography. It’s a parade of tradition-draped zombies, high-kicking their way to comfortable mediocrity, chanting oss like a metronome of stagnation. I’ve seen it firsthand. Slept on the mats. Bled on them, too. Walk into your average Muay Thai gym or BJJ academy ....

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.
