What is different about Evolve?
Professional Instruction - Unique Classes and Programming
Adult Krav Maga and Self-Defense Classes
Our teaching paradigm understands that you are not going to be wearing bag gloves when you get in an encounter. In our Krav Maga classes, you will be learning REAL self-defense. You will train with the same way you would defend yourself - Awareness, Avoidance, De-escalation... THEN if necessary - STRIKING. Fighting and Self-Defense are two different things.
Personal Development for Teens, Youth, and Kids
We are a personal development academy that uses the martial arts as a vehicle to develop social and emotional intelligence in students. At Evolve, we have a specially designed curriculum that is far more than just kick and punch! Students start off by earning their white belt over time by successfully completing a goal from our special "Pick One Menu". Each age group is separated to maximize learning and fun.
Kickboxing, Bootcamps, Health and Wellness
Aside for a variety of Fitness Classes, we offer Health, Wellness, and Nutrition guidance and training. We have a hold workshops and provide personal coaching on the topics mentioned above. Members have access to a Body Composition Scanner that will track over 40 different health factors of your body. Measuring your growth and success in class along with a professional fitness and nutrition coach will get you results faster.

TESTIMONIALS
My 10 year old has been going for over a year and husband as well. They both have enjoyed it tremendously. To watch the evolution of confidence, coordination, and overall fitness has been really amazing. The staff and owner are all really wonderful people as well. I recommend them highly.
The instructors are great and very knowledgeable. I always have a a fun time while gaining new useful skills. The other members are welcoming and I felt comfortable coming in as a total newbie.
My daughter and I have enjoyed gaining mental toughness, physical endurance and confidence in everyday encounters. The instructors are real pros, the lessons are practical, and the variety of situations covered span the spectrum of what you could experience at any given time. We don’t live in fear anymore, we have heightened awareness, discernment and preparedness for knowing what to do in a number of situations. These guys are great to work with and class members are fun to be with and respectful. Highly recommended.
