What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Matthew Haight
"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!"
Andi Robinson
"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."
Nikolos Davis
"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!"
Adam Robinson
"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."
