From the reviews
I can't say enough good things about Evolve Jiu Jitsu. My daughter who is 13 has been training there since they opened in May. She really has evolved since training with Jake and Sabrina. She absolutely loves Jiu-Jitsu. She has done 3 competitions so far and has earned 2 silver medals in Gi and 2 gold medals in no Gi.
I tried a few Jiujitsu academies in the surrounding area. I finally found a home here. Great classmates and even better instructors. I wouldn’t consider training anywhere else. This place changed me for the better.
I enjoy coming to train whenever I can! The instructors are not only knowledgeable with their techniques, but are super welcoming and friendly people. Facility is clean 👍🏽
Great place to learn the best and most effective jiujitsu. Awesome instructors with a fun welcoming family environment. Stop in and check it out!
Your first BJJ class at Evolve Jiu Jitsu
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.
