Evolve Checkmat Jiu Jitsu / Muay Thai Academy

“I recently joined Evolve at 49 years old with no prior experience, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Initially, I had a lot of trepidation about starting something as challenging as jiu-jitsu, but the instructors at Evolve are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and approachable, making every class both challenging and fun. The community is welcoming and supportive, creating a fantastic environment for learning and growth. Whether you’re a beginner like me or an experienced practitioner, Evolve is the perfect place to train. Highly recommend!”

“My son has been attending Evolve since September 2023 and it seriously has been one of the best decisions we could have made for him. He has always has some anxiety and is a relatively shy kid. Professor Todd’s Ju Jitsu class has helped him to gain confidence and become more assertive. He has made friends in class and really feels a sense of belonging. I would highly recommend Evolve to every parent looking to involve their child in an activity that will benefit them not only in their youth but into adulthood as well. Professor Todd has really created a welcoming and comfortable environment at Evolve and we are so thankful to to him for bringing the art of Ju Jitsu to our Community”

“My son who is 6 years old and I have started our Jiu Jitsu journey at Evolve and sincerely couldn't be more excited about our decision. Professor Todd and team have created an experience and culture that is truly something special. Wife and I are blown away at my sons rapid development becoming stronger, more confident, and respectful every week. As a 50 year old dad with no wrestling or martial art background extreme gratitude for the opportunity to be part of such amazing community. My son and I are looking forward to the next decade and beyond at Evolve!”

“My daughter (9) and I (48) have been training at Evolve for several years now, and we absolutely love it! The values and core tenants of jiu jitsu have had such as positive impact on our lives. It's given my daughter profound confidence in herself and to never stop fighting no matter how hard the challenge. Professor Todd gives his very best as an instructor every single class, and the facility is absolutely amazing. He is so passionate about sharing his knowledge of the art with all of this students and helping them be the best they can be...and then some. The vibe and culture at Evolve is awesome, and students grow by lifting others up. Evolve isn't just another martial arts academy, it is a Family. If you are looking to begin OR continue to jiu jitsu/Muay Thai journey then Evolve is the gym for you!”

“I joined Evolve over a year ago thinking that I wanted to get a hobby where I could stay active. Since then I have competed in my first Jiu Jitsu tournament and also added in Muay Thai into the mix. The culture at the gym and the style of training that Professor Todd offers is what has kept me going back. Everyone at the gym is supportive at all levels of experience. I joined with 0 prior experience with Jiu Jitsu and would highly recommend anyone to join who is even passively considering it.”
