We start off with one one one training with new students so they get a feel for what to expect in regular Fundamental classes. Once a studnet obtains a solid understanding of the basics of the art they are training they are invited into the advanced classes where they take their training to the next level. We have a full staff of High Level instructors to help students move forward quickly and our reputation as one of the best in the area is unparalleled.

All of our staff is highly trained and experienced in the arts of Mixed Martial Arts.

Ive been involved in trainig Martial Arts for over 20 years and have a staff that has High Level training in all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts. There is no place like Evolve if Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or MMA are what interest you. Programs every day and over 80 classes offered per week.
Ive been an MMA coach and a high level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitor for over 10 years
What types of students have you worked with?
All types! Ages starting at 5 years old with our oldest member being 74 years old. Whether you just want to learn how to Kickbox or grapple or eventually want to compete on the competition teams we have a program for you. We also offer High level and very effective self defense programming.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure they have been given their belts from a reputable high level Black Belt. It is also important to us that our teachers have experience competing. This way you are training with someone that actually knows what works in the real world. I suggest avoidng fly by night facilities and training with instructiors that have never competed at the highest levels. Martial Arts is the art of fighting...your main objective should be to learn from someone who is a master of this.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask teachers what their background is. Ask them where and who gave them their black belt. Ask your striking coaches at what level they have attained as a competitor. We have found that those with competitive experience make the best instructors. We have an elite team of trainers and instructors and there are few if any other facilities like ours in the area.
