AMERICAN TOP TEAM WINTER GARDEN Welcome to the most famous martial arts gym in the world
A Winter Garden jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai gym for families
In Winter Garden, American Top Team Winter Garden is a martial arts school built around Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, with classes for kids, teens and adults. The town had 48,063 people in 2025, per the Census Bureau, and sits in Orange County. Its homes have a median build year of 2004, per the American Community Survey for 2024.
The school says its head coach is Marcel Ferreira, a two-time Jiu-Jitsu world champion who earned his black belt under Carlson Gracie. Its website states he holds a sixth-degree black belt and has 33 years of coaching behind him. The gym describes itself as family owned.
It pulls in families from around the area too. The company names Ocoee, Horizon West and Windermere among the nearby places it draws from.
Kids classes, gi and no-gi rolling, and pad work
Most people come here for one of a few programs. The website lists kids jiu-jitsu for ages 4 to 13, with a focus on confidence and anti-bully self-defense. Teens and adults train jiu-jitsu in both the gi and no-gi. There's also Muay Thai and boxing, with striking, pad work and conditioning.
Classes run in the late afternoon and evening, 4 to 8 pm Monday through Saturday. The school reports 3,000 square feet of mat space, plus showers and free parking.
The gym holds a 4.9 rating from 169 Google reviews. Reviewers bring up Coach Marcel more than anything else, and a lot of parents say their kids got more confident and came out of their shell. Adults who showed up with zero experience say they felt at ease from the first class, and a few mention the Muay Thai cardio helping them get back in shape. Some parents also like that they can watch class through a glass window without hovering on the mat.
New to town with a kid who needs an outlet? Book a trial class and see if kids jiu-jitsu fits your evenings.

Coach Marcel is amazing! He has really brought our son out of his shell. He has made friends and feels a sense of community here. Definitely would recommend
I have my 2 daughters learning and practicing with Marcel and his team. Good environment and good skill to learn for life.
I have visited a few different martial art school before enrolling both my kids to American Top Team and I can honestly say that none of them even came close. The way coach Marcel and his associates teach the kids is beyond compare. They find a way to make it fun yet highly beneficial. I cannot recommend it enough.
