From the reviews

My boys have been taking taekwondo at Absolute Martial Arts for almost three years and they love it! Not only does it give them self-confidence, but the strength and stamina they've built up has helped them in other sports. The adult classes are a lot of fun too. Absolute Martial Arts is great for all ages!

I presently have 2 kids in training with Instructor Bruce and his staff. My eldest, who is 8, started training with Instructor Bruce in January, 2008 – she was 3 at that time, and Instructor Bruce was working with another organization. My youngest is 5 now, and started a year ago.

★★★★★ — Sharon, Nov 2012

My son has been involved with Absolute Martial Arts since he was four. I have watched him grow into a more confident,outgoing boy both physically and mentally through the teachings of Instructor Bruce Sylvia and his staff of coaches. I feel like part of a family rather than just a tuition check at AMA.

★★★★★ — Kady, Dec 2012

Absolute Martial Arts is a fantastic learning environment for anyone looking to discover martial arts. The whole family can benefit from the training you will receive in a safe and friendly environment.

Your first BJJ class at Absolute Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
