From the reviews

Professor Rob Handley is a wealth of knowledge in bjj and all things martial arts. The environment at Absolute is friendly and welcoming. I would recommend absloute mma to everyone wherever you are in your martial arts journey. After 11 years away from mma competition, I recently competed again at age 42 and won.

★★★★★ — Nick, Sep 2024

Updates review: I started training at Absolute about a year and a half ago. Before that, I had done a little BJJ at another facility right before Covid, trying to reignite my passion for grappling from my wrestling days. That first gym wasn’t quite the right fit, but a buddy told me about Absolute.

★★★★★ — James, Sep 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Ray, Apr 2024

Rob and Pedro are some of the coolest guys. I love going to Absolute so much, I get pushed by all my peers to do better, work harder. They are amazing professors, they do the most when teaching. Its always fun, they always have us growing and trying new things, The conditioning is top notch.

New to kickboxing? Start at Absolute MMA

Absolute MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first kickboxing class at Absolute MMA

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, 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.
