American Top Team West Palm Beach

American Top Team West Palm Beach is led by Marcos “Parrumpa” DaMatta, a Carlson Gracie 6th Degree Black Belt with decades of experience coaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes to the highest competitive levels. Located at the corner of Okeechobee Boulevard and the Turnpike, the academy holds the distinction of being the oldest traditional BJJ gym in West Palm Beach. Parrumpa has guided multiple MMA world champions, including UFC titleholders Alexandre Pantoja and Petr Yan, reflecting a strong lineage of technical expertise and competitive success. The academy offers structured instruction for a wide range of students, from kids as young as four to adults into their seventies. Classes emphasize a curriculum-style approach that builds fundamentals before progressing to advanced techniques, all taught within the framework of white gi only. Alongside gi classes, students can participate in open mat sessions to refine their skills. The staff includes instructors dedicated to kids and beginner programs, ensuring tailored attention to different age groups and experience levels. Private lessons are available for personalized coaching under Parrumpa, who also serves as the head BJJ instructor for the Pro Fight Team in Coconut Creek, where several UFC belts are held. The gym maintains a focus on self-defense, fitness, and competition preparation, providing a professional environment where serious practitioners can develop their game. Its long-standing presence in South Florida and connection to Carlson Gracie’s lineage mark it as a pillar of BJJ tradition in the region.
