From the reviews

This is the third martial arts gym my son has gone to, and is by far the best. They have teen classes, which is great because if your child is a teen beginner, they are learning with kids their age and not little ones. Coach Zach is amazing, and such a great role model for my son.

We LOVE Atlas. If you're looking to get your kids or yourself into martial arts, Atlas Combat Sports is the place to do it. They are great for our entire family. They have a wonderfully balanced approach to teaching kids, and helping them learn discipline, focus, and respect in addition to the physical training.

★★★★★ — Scott, Mar 2023

Atlas is more than a gym teaching you self defense the coach’s become your family. They care about your goals and work with you to make them happen. I love how the whole family can participate in classes and coaches are amazing at teaching at all levels. You can tell from every lesson taught that coaching is a passion.

★★★★★ — Sara, Jan 2021

Atlas Combat Sports is the best karate studio we have found in the south part of Salt Lake County. We’ve been here for over a year and very happy with the coaching staff. Zack and Amber are friendly, helpful, and great coaches.

New to muay thai? Start at Atlas Combat Sports

Atlas Combat Sports comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Atlas Combat Sports

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
