This was where i learned to defend myself. i got to train with division iii to division i wrestling champs, bellator fighters, ex-military and experience beyond your average person. And they were respectful, helpful and greatly contributed to my learning enough to feel confident should i ever have a physical confrontation arise. I also got in the best shape of my life here. read more

Went here as a kid to get off the video games for about 1 1/2 yrs. I absolutely love this sport BJJ. It brought lots of opportunities to learn as a kid to be disciplined in the world. The mentors always taught us to run away from a fight if we could, never to look for fights. I've been wanting to go back, but as a young adult now my life got a bit busier and plans sometimes have to change and wait a bit longer. I've never had so much respect for a place until I realized this type of teaching is what I actually needed in my life having divorced parents. It was an honor to have enrolled at ATT getting to meet the great Royce Gracie and Rodrigo Gracie. 100% I'd recommend this gym to anyone who is willing to learn how to defend themselves and young kids. read more

I enjoy going there for jujitsu and kick boxing, and everyone's pretty nice. They are very inclusive and have pretty good rules that are easy to follow.‍ read more

Great school to attend. For the beginner to the advanced. The workouts are hard but are very rewarding. You get out exactly what you put in and will be pushed to be your best. Not a place for just children. If you are an adult and looking for a good place to train this place is an excellent choice. When I started going here I was apprehensive because I was not a kid and when I think of martial arts schools I think it is just for kids. This is an excellent place to train if you are an adult and have no experience and are looking for a new and exciting type of workout. read more

Eric runs a great Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing training facility for kids to older adults, no matter where you are in your journey in life. He and his staff have professional experience in tournaments and MMA fights that translates to you, as a beginner or person with experience, in ways of defending yourself in a real life situations in the street or in a ring. Dave, Tony, and Eric are experts in layering the fundamentals of Gracie Jiu Jitsu for beginners to advanced ranks so that you can really understand the idiosyncrasies of the movements. Eric occasionally has Rodrigo Gracie of the renowned Gracie family come for clinics. They are superior half day clinics over the weekend that really instill and ingrain the fundamentals of Gracie Jiu Jitsu for self defense and sport competition. Wendy leads the kettlebell class in the mornings and also kickboxing in the afternoon. She has a limitless determination and energy that helps others rise to the occasion of becoming healthier and stronger. Her kickboxing skills have been honed through years of Muay Thai Kickboxing training with Eric and her competition experience. I cannot say enough about American Top Team Savage. They took me as an out-of-shape 40 year old and helped me lose 20 lbs and bring my cholesterol levels down to a stable level. Thank you Eric, Wendy, Tony, and Dave for everything. I am looking forward to training with you for years to come. read more

Our 4 year old takes martial arts classes from Mr. Shen at ATT and we have seen great progress. He is taught discipline, listening skills, and control over the body. I am very impressed at the one on one instruction he gets. read more

Beware this place!!!! ********************* Rob, Ron, Eric and American Top Team in Savage, MN. I am so disappointed and disheartened that you and the establishment you run claims to be one big family yet you will take money from me without permission and before xmas!!! Even after we called at the beginning of December and text explaining we were coming in January....and you agreed... Thats just a few weeks away. We tried communicating with your company and resolving this issue or you taking my money before January. My fiance even went to the business twice, was ok'd a reimbursement of the $550.00 that was taken out of my checking account with a new contract to begin in January. Yet when he returned the next day, the owner, Eric would not honor this verbal agreement. We were so excited to join as a family and hopefully becoming part of your big "family". Your business ethics are horrible, your gym was wet from water running out of the bathroom or from god knows where... the "closet" of a workout room for the ladies smelled, there were no mirrors and it had a baby crib in it. Very unattractive. I am so glad to know now what kind of business you run and I will be sure to tell all my friends. Shame on you Eric and america top team. Shame on you for everything! I would stay clear of this business!!!!! read more

My eight year old and I both train here a couple of times a week. It's great that we can do it separately but at the same time and in the same building. I can't imagine why anyone would spend time running on a treadmill when they could get a much better workout here and learn a valuable skill at the same time. It's addictive. I am excited to go and sometimes go 3-4 times a week. If I had joined a fitness club I would have already stopped going. If you're on the fence, come in and try it for a month. You'll be hooked. read more

Said one thing and did another. Told me I could cancel my membership, let me fill out the 30 day cancellation notice. I have text messages that said I could come in and cancel my membership. Then 32 days after I filled out the 30 day notice cancellation form they told me I did not qualify to cancel my membership. They lied and swindled. Now they sent me to collections, effecting my credit. I have documents that cancel my membership. They told me they just let everyone fill out the cancellation forms. They claim to be a family orientated, but they clearly are out to swindle people out of their money. The owner even told me when i signed up that they don't give out referral rewards because people leave the school right after signing up. This tells me they let other people cancel their memberships. I feel like they are sending me to collections to be spiteful The owner is a horrible business owner and has no compassion for anyone. He will lie and swindle you out of your money. Very expensive, $159 a month. read more

My son went here for a few years . When he was 18 he started paying monthly dues on his own, they came out of his account automatically. Not sure what happened but when he had 3 months left of contract his payments did not get sent to school. Nothing was sent to let him know and of course at 18 he didn't seem to notice as he was not going to the school any more. I understand it was his responsibility to pay , however. not one letter or call was sent to him for over one year. Now they sent this to collection agency. Pretty dumb, if they would have contacted us we would have paid, Now the school gets less money and the agency gets a cut. The 20 year old gets a nice mark on his credit rating . A little communication would have helped all . read more

There are pros and cons but the cons out weigh the pros. Pros-the price of membership is reasonable. -most staff are helpful with questions you might have. -Class times offered both during the morning and night Cons-the gym is closes a lot during the month for various reasons and it's at random. -morning classes aren't organized at all. You get different instructors constantly. -lied to me before I signed up. Said I could train with the current fight team with what my current work schedule. Which turned out to be false. I was also told I could go to classes w/o a gi. Which eventually I was denied access to classes because I refused to buy a gi -Owner is constantly trying to sell you product or services. -within the contract it states you can have your contract "frozen" due to injury w/a Drs noted. I had surgery done and they wouldn't accept notes from my Drs nurses. They eventually charged me my monthly dues even though I had notes confirming my surgery. -It's almost impossible to get a hold of someone at the gym. No one answers phones. Took my 4 days of constant calling and texting to terminate my contract. I went to this gym for 3 months. My overall experience was terrible. It seems they care more about that monthly due than your needs. I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking to learn, in depth, the art of jiu-jitsu or thai boxing. read more

From day one things went wrong. They double billed me the first month after I switched cards and Eric's instinct was to offer me $200 of stuff rather than a refund. The gym was sometimes dangerously hot and when i mentioned it, they scoffed at me like I it was never an issue. Then the reason i stopped attending was because Eric thought it was necessary to call me at work to buy a t-shirt, which is something i should have gotten after paying a $150 deposit. I had to get a new card from my bank and when they tried to run it, they said they couldn't despite the fact i used it all the time everywhere else. They told me the last four digits of the card they were using and it wasn't one i owned. I heard other bad stories from coworkers about these guys and they are just awful. They are too expensive and unless you are trying to be on the fight team then they just don't really care about you in any capacity. 0 stars, but yelp says i had to choose 1 to post. read more
