Karizma De La Cruz-Lusk
"My boyfriend has just started coming to this gym and really enjoys it. He feels welcomed and every move that is taught to him is taught thoroughly and is broken down. He enjoys coming to the classes and learning new moves/skills. 10/10 would recommend this gym."

"I dropped in last week for two nights while visiting from out of town. Coaches Brody and Randall gave detailed technical instruction. I had some good rolls after class too. No gi with Coach Chris was fun as well. I'll definitely drop back in when I'm next in the area. Thanks for being so accommodating! -Marla"
Dusty Doris
"I was in town visiting family and dropped in to evo grappling. It was a great experience. They were very inviting and the coaching was very detailed. I learned a lot in my two days there and had a lot of fun. Highly recommended! Will definately be back next time I'm in town."
