I’ve been cross-training at ATT Watertown every summer for three years now, and have had an amazing experience there. All of the coaches are experienced, skilled, and are good people; welcoming anyone who walk through their doors. One of the things I loved about training at ATT Watertown was their detailed instruction. From Muay Thai to Jiu Jitsu, the details of the technique were strategic, making the curriculum exceptional. The coaches also gave great feedback and pushed you to never give up. Ultimately, their instruction improved my Jiu Jitsu and striking, and helped me understand both, better. I’m so glad I found ATT Watertown and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is looking to get into Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, or Muay Thai, or would like to cross-train.

Came in for my free trial and I’ve basically lived here ever since. Coaches Dylan, Pete, and Joey have been motivating, encouraging, and very welcoming. I love the atmosphere and the work ethic. OSU!

I have to start by saying I’ve never been to American Top Team Waterdown, but I had the pleasure of meeting and learning from one of your instructors, Professor Paul Elliot. He was up in Toronto doing a seminar. What a treat it was to learn from him! His instruction was very simple and clear. He has a passion for the Art of BJJ and is always keen to help newer people like myself. His seminar on shoulder control was excellent and I plan to implement it in my practice. In addition to that, he’s such a cool guy. We got to chatting at the gym the night before the seminar and he was telling me all kinds of stuff that I’ve taken back to “the lab” to work on. Specifically, he addressed neck control and astounded my White Belt brain with what I could do if I mastered neck control. Thanks for your knowledge Professor, I hope you had a good time visiting 🇨🇦

Stellar gym with great instructors and a lot of mat space. There were a lot of white belts but the instructor was still able to make time for everyone. They let you roll as well after instructionals so that's a plus. The place is huge with showers and changing rooms for men and women. Very nice place and it was a pleasure to work with them.

We love ATT Watertown for our entire family! We have 5 kids and all have participated in classes from little ninjas, teen ninjas, adult classes and private lessons. The coaching staff is by far phenomenal while the management staff clearly wants to see all of its members grow and succeed by bringing world class instructors for training seminars. You won’t find another gym in the area with as many class offerings, qualified staff and opportunities to succeed and progress on your athletic, physical, mental and health goals! OSU ATT Watertown!

Frequently Asked Questions

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE TO START TRAINING BJJ?

Not at all! American Top Team Watertown welcomes complete beginners. We offer introductory classes specifically designed to teach the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a safe, supportive environment. Everyone starts somewhere, and our coaches will guide you every step of the way.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic wear such as shorts and a rash guard works perfectly. Once you train regularly, you'll want a gi (BJJ uniform). We train gi here — our coaches can point you toward the right gear.

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Yes! We encourage you to try a class before committing. Contact American Top Team Watertown to schedule your complimentary intro class and experience our training environment for yourself.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN AS A BEGINNER?

Most beginners see strong progress training 2-3 times per week. Consistency matters more than volume early on. As your conditioning improves, many students increase to 4-5 sessions per week.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A BLUE BELT IN BJJ?

On average, dedicated students earn their blue belt in 1-2 years of consistent training. Progression depends on mat time, active learning, and open rolling. Each stripe reflects real skill growth.
