From the reviews
Can’t ask for a more engaged, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable instructor than Mike Pallidino. The JJ classes are structure in a way that all levels can learn and progress. Great place and great people, glad I joined!
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.
INCREDIBLE environment. Mike and the other instructors are highly dedicated and focused on the development of students. I've trained at gyms all over the world, from Brazil to Californoia and Mike is one of the finest instructors I've Experienced. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes are always a ton of fun!
The most dedicated staff I’ve encountered. I love working out here. EGA has a world class academy, from the weight lifting area to the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes it’s phenomenal. The Muay Thai Kickboxing and Boxing classes are such a great workout!
New to kickboxing? Start at Evolution Grappling Academy - Fishkill
Evolution Grappling Academy - Fishkill comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Evolution Grappling Academy - Fishkill
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
