  • I didn’t listen

    I didn’t listen

    I Didn’t Listen They told me to play it safe. Get the degree. Wear the tie. Smile at the right people. I was already barefoot, bruised, chasing something older than fear. High school parties? I showed up sometimes. But I sweated under fluorescent lights, shadowboxing with ghosts. They said chasing training and competition across the world was dumb. Too expensive. Too risky. They never felt the silence before a bell rings in another country. College was “the move.” But I was learning how to break balance and build mine. “Don’t open a gym.” “Don’t spar hard.” “Don’t compete.” “Don’t grow.” ....

  • Blood, Leather, and Loyalty: The Sacred Rite of the Belt

    Blood, Leather, and Loyalty: The Sacred Rite of the Belt

    Blood, Leather, and Loyalty: The Sacred Rite of the Belt The thing you’ve got to understand about fight gyms—the real ones, the soul-scorched dens that smell like old leather and dried ambition—is that they’re not just places to train. They’re temples. Brutal, beautiful temples where men and women offer up pieces of themselves on the altar of combat, hoping to come out on the other side carved into something sharper. Now and then, a fighter emerges from the meat grinder with a belt. A real one. Not the shiny toy straps you see in strip mall showcases, but a title earned under fluorescent lights and roaring crowds, hands taped up like gladiators, ....

    U.S. Muay Thai open- Spring Championships

    “Desert Dogs & Championship Straps” The Arizona desert is no place for the weak. Five days of heat, blood, and full-rules Muay Thai—no shortcuts, no safety nets, just raw violence and the will to survive. We came with two fighters and left with two belts. Not luck. Not chance. Just hard hours, sacrifice, and the kind of hunger you can’t fake. But the story doesn’t stop there. A third warrior—a young assassin with the heart of a lion—stepped into the fire and walked out with gold of her own. She’s trained with us for years, grown with us, fought alongside us. She’s loyal to her team back home, but when she’s with us, ....

    After action report-MDL scrimmage Stockton, California.

    AFTER ACTION REPORT: MDL SCRIMMAGE — STOCKTON, CA The smell of sweat and Thai liniment hung heavy in the air — the unmistakable aroma of battle. Four rings, non-stop action. Kids with fire in their eyes, coaches pacing like caged wolves, parents gripping the edge of their sanity. This was Muay Thai Development League (MDL) — and it was beautiful carnage. No wild brawling here. Just clean, technical Muay Thai — sharp teeps, hard knees, and footwork like poetry. Every athlete testing themselves, learning under fire. No knockouts, no major injuries. Just hard rounds and harder lessons — exactly how it should be. American Top Team rolled in heavy — ....

  • 10 things teammates don’t let teammates do in championship cultures

    10 things teammates don’t let teammates do in championship cultures

    I saw this list, and it spoke to me in the kind of way a loaded gun speaks when it’s pressed against your temple—clear, immediate, and without room for interpretation. So here’s my version, straight, no chaser: 1. Cut corners. There’s no express lane to being a savage. Every shortcut you take is just another hole you’re digging for yourself, and sooner or later, you’ll fall in. 2. Whine and complain. No one cares. The world doesn’t hand out tissues and pats on the back. If you have energy to cry about it, you have energy to fix it. 3. Make excuses. Excuses are lies you tell yourself so you can sleep at night. But deep down, you ....

    A Fighters Ring Name!

    Joashua “BAM BAM” Burdios is the name! ATT-Tracy Fighter Joshua Burdios, After going undefeated at 4-0 in his Muay Thai full contact career so far, has earned his fight name from his coach. Because of his powerful style and pop in his punches, he is now christened “BAM BAM!” Fighting names, or ring names, in boxing and Muay Thai are often earned based on a fighter’s personality, style, background, or a notable trait. Here’s how they typically come about: Boxing Ring Names 1. Self-Chosen – Some boxers pick their own name based on something meaningful to them. 2. Given by Trainers or Promoters – A coach, promoter, ....

    The fighter and the coach

    The Fighter-Coach Bond: Sacrifice & Growth The relationship between a fighter & coach is built on sacrifice, trust, and a pursuit of excellence few outsiders understand. Time & Physical Toll: Endless hours in the gym. Early mornings, late nights. Fighters take damage, but so do coaches—holding pads, sparring, pushing through pain. Financial & Emotional Cost: Fighters keep ticket profits. Coaches pay their way, miss time with family, and bear the emotional highs & lows of every fight. The Fighter’s Duty: A fighter must be all in—physically, mentally, spiritually. Half-hearted effort wastes everyone’s time. ....

  • Never be a “was.”

    Never be a “was.”

    Someday, You Will Be a “Was” I was strong. I was fast. I was disciplined. I was relentless. One day, everything that defines you now will be spoken about in the past tense. Your body will slow. Your abilities will fade. The things that once came effortlessly will take effort. And that’s exactly how it should be. Because it’s better to be a “was” than a “never was.” A “was” means you showed up. You tried. You pushed yourself beyond comfort, tested your limits, and took risks. It means you built something—memories, skills, relationships, and a life worth looking back on. A “never ....

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.
