The junior instructors are very professional and kind to the students, they make sure the kids understand the moves and help them with technique.“

“Been here 10 years and absolutely love the culture of this gym. I drive 45+ minutes after work to get to this gym. Also there is plenty of mat time here. An hour of Open rolls after the classes which is hard to come by. Such a good crew here.“

Similarly, Mr. Wright makes classes so exciting and fun, and he makes our son feel welcome and like he belongs. The structure of the classes and advancement is very well organized, and the skills learned here apply to everyday life.“

“I am a life long martial artist. I wrestled in Jr. High and High school. I have trained and competed all over the world in amateur boxing, sport karate and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I also hold a third degree black belt in American Kenpo. I currently train and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo. I started training at Absolute a little over three years ago and my son has been training at Absolute for the past couple of years. This is a fight gym and this is the place to go if you want to learn how to fight, defend yourself, and/or compete. With that said, Absolute is also a great place for beginners. Everyone has to start somewhere and beginners start here almost every day. My training partners, teammates, and coaches have become some of my best friends. The community and sense of belonging to something that is bigger than you can be felt the first time you step on the mats or pull on a pair of gloves. There is no other gym or training facility in Utah that even comes close. Hands down, this is the best MMA gym in town!“

“My son loves going to karate here. He's been going for a couple years now and has gained more confidence and better self control than he was ever taught in any other setting. His growth while being here has been a blessing and he looks forward to being a big part of this team and family.“

“As a physician I am keenly aware of the need for strength, balance, agility and social interactions to promote healthy life and healthy aging. I started martial arts with Master Parnell at age 75 to spend time with a teenage friend and out of curiosity. This evolved into an appreciation and a fascination with the discipline of Tae Kwando. My agility, strength, balance and anticipation have improved by a giant step. It has a major positive effect on my tennis—many benefits that improve my entire life. It teaches mindfulness, respect and sense of community. I wish this could be a standard part of public education. I enjoy classes alongside the children of all ages, particularly watching them grow physically and emotionally as they develop confidence and purpose. I recommend this activity to people of all ages who are striving for fitness and self improvement of mind and body. Master Marshall Parnell is a gifted and dedicated teacher. I recommend him and his staff without reservation.“

They have given me a few life lessons.They are both incredible instructors, worth the extra time.They are definitely worth driving across town in rush hour for,“

“My family loves The Winner School! My daughter was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and we felt anxious about sending her back to pre-school with this complex medical issue. Her teacher, Ms. Jamie, and the administration including Miriam and Mr. Johnny, have been incredibly supportive and understanding. They are helping to manage her blood sugar levels while she is at school. My daughter adores all the staff and always has the most fun, while feeling safe and cared for. I know she is in good hands when she is at pre-school. I highly recommend The Winner School!“

“The team at IMAA has been so great for our son(5). The instructors are attentive and help him with his focus every class. Can’t wait to enroll our daughter(2) when she is old enough. The studio is super clean and well maintained as well.“
