From the reviews
I met Coach Andy 5 years ago while training with him at Evolução Toronto. Andy is not only highly skilled in martial arts but also deeply committed to his students’ journeys. His dedication to their progress and his ability to connect on a personal level make him an exceptional mentor and friend.
I decided to finally join about two months ago and honestly have no regrets since then. Not only is the facility well kept, organized and family friendly but you really learn so many techniques that will help you in any critical life situations.
Went to this gym to do Muay Thai and they did a tremendous job of balancing beginners and advanced students as well as competitive and recreational. Coach Andy devotes a great amount of time to everyone (especially the beginners which is great) and creates a family-like atmosphere that is contagious and reflects…
“When a competitor brings real experience and time on the mats into the DFW area, you get Coach Andy, a dedicated Jiu Jitsu practitioner MMA fighter and coach who understands the journey from every angle What stands out most is the environment he has built.
New to BJJ? Start at Evolucao Thai BJJ & MMA School
Evolucao Thai BJJ & MMA School comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, 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 or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. 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, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Evolucao Thai BJJ & MMA School
Nervous about walking into a BJJ 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 basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, 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.
