Evolution Jiu Jitsu Burlington

“This is one of the best jiu jitsu gyms in Wisconsin. From day one the head professor Nick was welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. The gym is about discipline hard work and camaraderie. They also do fundraising for veterans with injuries and ptsd to get them trying martial arts. A very nice new facility also.”

“Professor Nick and his wife Mel have created the perfect environment for kids and adults alike to learn, grow, and most importantly have fun! I've been to many gyms/ clubs / dojos over the years and Evolution is by far the best culture I've ever encountered. No big egos, everyone is encouraging and helpful, and it all starts with Nick and Mel. I joined as a 46 yr. old adult and then shortly after our kids ages 6 and 10 wanted in on the fun. Besides the fantasticly welcoming culture at Evolution the quality of the instruction is also top notch. Many members have tried out multiple BJJ gyms around SE Wisconsin and ultimately landed at Evolution. It's easy to see why, and the results from the club at competitions for those who want to do that speak for themselves - Evolution almost always has the most medals per participant in any tournament they enter. Quite a feat when you consider we're up against much larger clubs from Chicago, Madison, Milwaukee, etc. Evolution Jiu Jitsu is truly the perfect blend of culture and quality.”

“One of the best decisions we made as a family was to join this gym. If your child has confidence issues or a hard time fitting in, this is the family environment that will help. Respect is given and earned and the classes are inclusive. Nobody is made to feel less for not knowing a lot, it’s a great teaching/learning experience the kids will take away for the rest of there lives. You will see changes in your child after just a couple classes and if they compete, even more rewarding! We highly encourage anyone to try it out, you won’t regret it.”

“Had made contact with Nick to inquire if it would be possible for our 4 yr old son to try out BJJ on one of the kid's nights. He mentioned that it would be no issue and that this was a regular occurrence for young kids interested. Reached out in the afternoon the day we planned to take our son, Nick confirmed and mentioned that coach Dennis would be instructing that evening. We arrived just as the class was warming up but was not addressed by Dennis until halfway through the class with a "will be with you in a minute sir". A nice woman came over to ask if my son wanted to participate, she took him over to get his feet washed, when it was done coach Dennis told her that my son could not participate until he spoke with the child's parent. So me and my son waited until about 5 minutes before the class was to end, Dennis never attempted to talk with me. I got my son ready to leave, he is now in tears of course. Upon getting up and walking to the door Dennis motions to me and raises his one finger.. as if just give me a minute. For what? The class ends in 5 minutes. Needless to say this experience was not a good one and my son was heartbroken. Very disappointing, will not waste my time and expose my son to that again.”

“I cannot recommend Evolution Jiu Jitsu enough. Professor Nick and his wife Mel have created a welcoming environment for kids and adults. They continually go above and beyond for all of their members. Professor Lee runs a great morning class for all levels. Make the best decision of your life and get on the mats at Evolution!”
