Absolute Martial Arts has the nicest group of violent people you will ever meet. I'm a 35-year-old guy with a bad knee and zero contact-sport experience, and, coming in, I had some concern about getting injured early. That fear was eliminated on day 1. This is a place where your ego is dropped at the door. It's about becoming your best self, and helping the person next to you do the same. Something I noticed was that I'm pretty sure their introductory 1-on-1 session is intentionally designed to protect their culture, which is amazing that they have that in place. It gives you an idea of what you're signing up for, so your expectations are set, and it also gives them a chance to make sure you're not a bully and that you will be a good fit for their students. It sets the tone for safety, respect, and learning, and that's rare to find in an organization, let alone a gym. All in all, there’s a genuine sense of respect and camaraderie all the way from the white belts to the black belts, from the kids to the adults. That's impressive! The people here are amazing, the classes are challenging, but fun, and I can't recommend them enough!
One of their students visited my gym for a no gi class. He was cool and invited me to this gym for an open mat. I e-mailed this gym through their website contact form. Several days later, I got a message "we don't allow drop ins". It's pretty standard in the BJJ community to have drop ins from other gyms or people out of town visiting. Very unusual. They didn't give a reason.
Hi, my name is Thomas. I joined Absolute mixed martial arts about 4 months ago. Honestly it is one of the best decisions I’ve have ever made. I was nervous at first but once you start the nerves go away and it’s safe and you can go at your own pace. I absolutely love it. The instructors are awesome with full of knowledge and have created a great system that can help anyone learn with no experience at all. Personally, I’ve gained more strength have got in way better shape since I have started, as well as built more confidence, respect, and perseverance that with help all aspects of life. Definitely would recommend to any ages because it will change your life for the better.
We signed our son up so he would gain self confidence& know how to defend himself. I’ve seen big improvement in his confidence level. The instructors are super nice & engaged with the students and keep them interested during the whole class. 10/10 recommend Absolute Marital Arts!
