Ashley D'Aversa
"Amazing instruction and second location for Evolution Grappling Academy in Beacon. I highly recommend training jiu jitsu for women in self defense situations, and the numerous women that train here are a testament of that positive environment. Coach Mike's high class instruction and feedback is valuable to my success in not only the sport but also my own self development. Highly recommend this place!"
Anthony Cefaloni
"Evolution Grappling Academy is excellent place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and meet new and interesting people. The owner Mike Palladino and his instructors are very professional and extremely proficient in teaching their extensive knowledge to new and experienced students. BJJ or any other sport can be difficult at first for a beginner, at EGA they are very patient and passionate about teaching. Even the students who have been training are always willing to help and teach proper technique to the newer students, its like a family oriented training facility."

"EGA Fishkill is awesome! It’s a satellite location to the main gym in Beacon that draws a tight knit group where I enjoy some of my favorite classes. Between the 2 spots, I have a ton of different training options for both Gi/noGi that I can fold into my work schedule and get some solid training in. Mike and his coaches foster a welcoming culture of growth at Evolution Grappling Academy that has made me a better person both on and off the mats."

"Mike and his team have been training my kids in BJJ for many years now. They are super dedicated to the well being of all their students, and the skills they have taught my children are life skills that will stay with them. Not only is the staff available at the gym but also at the competitions. If you want to train Brazilian jiu jitsu with the best in the area then this gym is for you."
