From the reviews

My kid has been taking Taekwondo classes at Evolution for many months now and it is always a wonderful experience. Every kid I see there, including my own, seems to really love the staff and teachers. They really seem to foster a sense of community and family.

★★★★★ — Tahnee, Jun 2024

My children attend summer camp and they love Evolution Martial Arts! They are super excited about their up-coming field trips. They have fun, and get to see their friends. My son totally enjoy's the Taekwondo classes. Three years ago they also attended the after school program as well.

★★★★★ — Gaby, Jun 2021

My child has attended Evolution for two years and absolutely loves it! The instructors are fantastic and really care about the kids. They encourage the kids to do their very best. The kids are also great! They motivate each other and they have become like family to us. Summer Camp is so much fun.

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Sep 2016

Excellent after-school and summer programs! All the instructors are amazing and friendly! I never have to worry about my son because I know he is in good hands. My son has learned so much in 2 years. The instructors are firm on discipline and education.

Your first kickboxing class at Evolution Martial Arts of Lakeland Inc

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
