What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Scott Viscomi
"What a phenomenal Jiu Jitsu school to visit while traveling. The head coach or “Professor” is Johnny, and he is warm, kind, and welcoming. His leadership clearly sets the tone for the adult members I trained with. They were all super cool, no ego, very friendly, and very serious about their training. The dojo is clean and bright with incredible aesthetics. Don’t miss it."
Rachel Browne
"We have been so happy with the program here. Our 3 year old son always looks forward to class with Coach James. Coach is especially gifted with children and his approach with them includes both tenderness and firmness. He is very skilled at managing a class of 6 small children, always finding a way to keep the class productive and fun. His classes offer a nice balance of emotional, physical, and social learning. We love it here!"
Israel Gomez-Vera
"Evolve Jiu-Jitsu is one of the best programs for kids and adults in Ventura County. My son started less than a year ago and now my daughter wants to learn and be in the environment that is conducive to positive training, fundamentals, and a strong team environment. I recommend Evolve to everyone. My son even asked for an Evolve cake for his birthday because he loves the team environment. This is a fantastic team. Thank you to everyone involved in making a great place for kids and adults to train and grow. I can see the future is bright for this fantastic academy."

"I have been involved in athletics for 40 years and Professor Johnny is unbelievable with my son with his methods as a teacher trainer and coach. My son is a very wild wiggly kid and Professor handles him with love grace gentleness while teaching him respectful boundaries to help him mature while having fun and learning. I trust Johnny completely with my son. I ended up joining after 6 months of watching my son. It has been a great experience."
