What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Casey Stinnett
"My 3 kids (11 and under) and I went here for about 4 months and what we like most about this place is that it immediately feels like family. Sabrina is like a mother to the kids and Jake is dedicated to guiding his students on the details that make the difference. The focus is on your growth and skill. The culture is family oriented, uplifting, and invites a drive to do better in a comfortable environment. I highly recommend for kids and adults."
Billie Nation
"I can't say enough good things about Evolve Jiu Jitsu. My daughter who is 13 has been training there since they opened in May. She really has evolved since training with Jake and Sabrina. She absolutely loves Jiu-Jitsu. She has done 3 competitions so far and has earned 2 silver medals in Gi and 2 gold medals in no Gi. Its a family friendly environment. Everyone there helps each other out. If you are looking for a place to train check out Evolve Jiu Jitsu. You won't regret it."
