From the reviews
Our son has grown so much confidence and character since he started at Evolutionary MA in March of 2022. Most importantly his Sensei’s are so patient and have embedded in his mind “Be a friend, not a bully!”. Our son also just started sparring here and he loves it! I would definitely recommend this amazing studio.
My rambling thoughts: Evolutionary Martial Arts has been great for my son! It has been a challenge trying to teach my son how to hustle but Sensei Jeff and Sensei David have helped light a fire. After the first class my 4 year old said, “I wish I could be in Karate forever.
As a homeschooling parent, finding the perfect extracurricular activity for my sons was crucial, and I hit the jackpot with this martial arts school! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an amazing staff who made us feel right at home.
I can’t say enough good things about Evolutionary Martial Arts. My son’s confidence has grown so much in the last 7 months he’s been attending and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon. The senseis make the classes fun along side teaching karate.
New to kickboxing? Start at Evolutionary Martial Arts
Evolutionary Martial Arts 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 Evolutionary Martial Arts
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.
