“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!“

“Lotus Blossom is amazing and so is Master Parnell. If you or your kids are interested in martial arts give them a try. His Haidong Gumdo class is beautiful to watch.

“The benefits our 5 year old has had from studying at World Martial Arts are truly immeasurable. It is such a great balance between discipline and fun, and our kiddo often talks about how much he loves it. He lights up when we pull into the parking lot, and loves to practice at home. He is growing more confident with each passing week, and has a greater understanding of respect than before. The instructors are all so kind and engaging with both the students and the parents. We are so grateful we found this program.“

“My daughter attended the dragons level jiu jitsu class here and LOVED IT! I was not a very athletic kid growing up so I didn’t know the value of learning such a disciplined sport as this until signing my kid up here.
I’m so impressed by Master Will’s patience with the kids and his ability to instill discipline without being intimidating. He and the other teachers do a fantastic job coaching the kids, fostering their strength, and encouraging a sense of camaraderie among the students.
Every “test day” gives the kids a chance to show off the skills they’ve learned during the month and progress a level on their belts. Master Will does a great job acknowledging each student on their growth. My daughter has gotten stronger, both physically and mentally, since starting this class and I can’t wait to see how much more she grows into herself as we continue to attend. Thanks!“

“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!“

“Excellent coaching and a very beginner friendly environment! Perfect for all skill levels!“

“I love this place; the atmosphere, lap pool, and kids' pool are great. The staff is super helpful and friendly. But the sporadic hours are difficult to plan around, and I know this is due to staffing shortages. I'd love it to be open longer/later so I could still swim after work and school.“
