What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Lilyana

"Great training with Coach Mike while I was in town on vacation with friends and family. From the first call, they were super welcoming and open to drop-ins. The class had a solid mix of fundamentals and live work, and Coach Mike kept things clear and technical. Good vibe overall, and they encouraged us to come back for more classes while we're here. Definitely worth checking out if you're visiting or local."

Devin Hance

"Evolution Grappling Academy (EGA) is one of the best boxing gyms I have ever joined! During my 6-month membership, I felt very welcomed and supported. For any membership or class questions, definitely reach out to Matt. The staff at EGA meets you right where you are, regardless of your skill level. I am especially appreciative of Rocky, the boxing coach. He challenges the class while being deeply knowledgeable about the content he teaches. The vibe at EGA is judgment-free, with everyone eager to help each other grow. Training here is worth your time. I even challenged myself by taking some Muay Thai classes. I love this place! Unfortunately, I no longer attend because I moved out of the area and travel a lot for work, but I would come back in a heartbeat. If you're looking to try something new and challenge yourself: TRY IT!!"

Francisco Mejias

"This gym has become my second home since I started training almost 2 years ago. The human quality and level of care among coaches and students is top of the line. People truly care for each other. You will always leave EGA with something new. On and off the mats."

Tom Korzekwnski

"Hidden gem. Such a giant gym for such a small city. Extremely welcoming. Class times are designed to fit any schedule. Finding a training partner is always a breeze reguardless of your age size and gender. I’ve been here for 8 months and it’s really amazing how much I’ve learned about not only jiu jitsu, but about myself."
