Ramsey is an incredible person . He has a passion for what he does and passion for helping people learn to protect themselves . His knowledge and technique are incredibly empowering . Most of all his understanding of the human brain and how we are all trained in some sort of trauma response, was so valuable . I learned a lot but most of all became present to my need to keep learning.. with Peace , Loce and Gratitude -Traci Kilgore

The Pit SLC is a great martial art arts gym. Both my son (8) and I have been training at the gym for over a year. I knew nothing was a complete beginner but the community was welcoming and warm classes our design designed for beginners and advanced so you can jump in at your level and comfortably. All the coaches are knowledgeable and great to work with. 10/10 recommend.

ThePit > Screen Time Both of my boys have been at The Pit SLC for years and I can’t say enough good things. Ramsey is the real deal… insanely skilled, but also has a way of connecting with kids that makes them feel like superheroes. The Pit has become a highlight of our family’s routine. My boys have grown stronger, more disciplined and more self-assured since training here and they truly look forward to every class. The vibes are solid, the training is top-notch and the values they teach go far beyond martial arts.

One of the best martial arts gyms in the state! Ramsey brings the energy and passion every single class. He creates an amazing team atmosphere and culture where every skill level feels welcome. I started my martial arts journey three years ago and even have my son in the youth classes who loves it just as much as I do. I would recommend to anyone. Whether you are looking to become a professional or a dad like myself who wanted to learn something new - this is a great place to train!

Classes at The Pit can be a family affair. My husband trains with Ramsey twice a week for jiu-jitsu and mma and Dom on Wednesdays for Athletic Development (teaching you to move correctly so you don't hurt yourself). Dom also teaches children with Autism to help their gross motor skills. My 12 year old son was in a lot of pain and didn't want to move. The doctor said his muscles were imbalanced due to the way he moved. 1 month of classes with Dom and no more pain. We are on month 2 and he has shown so much improvement and his self confidence has sky rocketed. The pit has a place for everyone and both evening and morning classes. Thanks Ramsey and Dom!!
