American Top Team
American Top Team Gulfport is an official affiliate of American Top Team, one of the most successful mixed martial arts training organizations in the world. Founded by Alan Belcher, a former UFC middleweight contender and Mississippi native, the gym brings world-class MMA training to the Gulf Coast. Located in the Gulf Coast Elite building in Gulfport, Mississippi, ATT Gulfport provides comprehensive training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and fitness kickboxing for both adults and children.

The gym is led by head coach Michael Sanford, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt who received his black belt on January 11, 2014 under Daniel and Diego Moraes. Professor Sanford has been training martial arts since age 5, starting with boxing and Kempo Karate before discovering his passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 18. After training under Master Francisco Mansor (a red belt under the legendary Helio Gracie) and later under Daniel Moraes, he was personally recruited by Alan Belcher to serve as head instructor at ATT Gulfport. The coaching team also includes Will Cruthirds (Jiu-Jitsu, striking, and kickboxing coach), Professor Ann Elida Sanford (women's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor), and Vincent Flores (kids martial arts instructor).

American Top Team Gulfport focuses on providing high-quality martial arts instruction in a family-friendly environment. The gym offers specialized programs for different age groups and skill levels, including Little Ninjas for children ages 4-7, Junior MMA for kids 8 and up, adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (both gi and no-gi), Muay Thai kickboxing, and fitness kickboxing classes. With a strong emphasis on technique, discipline, and personal development, ATT Gulfport serves as a premier destination for martial arts training on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
