Brazilian Top Team Winter Haven

“Been with Coach Melvin for 8 years. He hasn’t stopped growing, I haven’t stopped growing and the mat space has only gotten bigger and the training partners have only gotten tougher. Very family oriented with a competitive dynamic. Come see if we can help you reach your goals!”

“Brazilian Top Team Winter Haven is a gem of a gym! This is a family owned and operated facility with a great staff! My husband and 3 boys all participate here and are always excited to go to their next class! It’s helped my kids learn self-defense, be part of a community, and their overall health. One of the best things about here is that you feel like family and not just another number. I don’t take part in any of the classes but am always treated like I’m part of the team as well! I highly recommend trying it out for yourself! You won’t be disappointed.”

“Called ahead and asked to come in for a session and from first contact this gym was beyond welcoming. The instructors and staff were both knowledgeable and effective in delivering the message! For anyone looking for training to improve upon a craft, improve upon themselves, and join a family, this is that place to be! Will be surely be coming back!”

“Brazilian Top Team Winter Have is an absolutely fantastic place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Coach Melvin Thompson and his wife Alicia Thompson run a great facility that is catered to ages 4 - adulthood. I, along with 2 of my kids (6 and 7), train at this top notch facility. During the time my kids have been training, not only has their understanding of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu improved, but they’ve gained a sense of community by making new friends, overcome social awkwardness, improved their overall health (cardio and strength), their ability to stay calm while under duress and to understand the concept of not quitting. I highly recommend checking out BTT-Winter Haven.”

“This place is awesome and the people who run it are equally amazing. All of the instructors under coach Melvin are well versed and eager to teach. I have 3 children attending classes nightly. My 5-year-old loves his coaches and stays to hang around for the older kids (6-12) and adult (12+) classes. Coach is extremely attentive with each of his young students and every day I find myself impressed by his level of patience. My 9-year-old also attends, and she can't get enough. She's going to be a formidable force by the time she's 10 and we're thrilled to know that this level of training will be a form of defense she will carry through her teens and as an adult. My 16-year-old son has taken a strong liking to the adult class, that my wife and I attend as well, and he's already competition ready... Coach Melvin has taken his time teaching him and always entertains, and answers, his many inquisitions. I can truly say that WHBJJ has planted a seed that is sowing a strong bond within our family! We love it here and hope to see you soon!”
