Our history
The history of Absolute Mixed Martial Arts is a reflection of the growth and popularity of Mixed Martial Arts over the last 4 decades. Mixed Martial Arts is a combat sport in which contestants are permitted to use the combination of techniques from many different martial art disciplines like Wrestling, Boxing, Kickboxing, Judo, Jiu Jitsu and Karate.
We originally established the business located in West Valley City in late 2001. A few years later in 2004, we relocated to where we are today in West Jordan, Utah. We are coming up on our 20th year anniversary of serving our community next year in 2022

I love this place. I visited three other gyms before settling on Absolute MMA. Professor Rob is there to teach and foster an inclusive training atmosphere.
