What can I say about this place??!! Honestly, Super awesome place for kids and adults to have fun, get physical, learn discipline and gain new friends. My son has only be coming for about a month at 6 years old. We tried when he was about 3 or 4 at their old location and he was not ready to focus. The training area is huge and the kids all have plenty of room to practice. This place is a little bit of a drive for us even though we have a handful of martial arts studios closer to us, we don't mind the drive since the teachers are so great. Mr. Jason, Mr. Brandon and Mrs. Noelle are so patient and you can tell they all love their "jobs". They make it look effortless on how well they get all the kids to interact, listen and respond. The class sizes are managed by belt sizes and there are always enough teachers that every kid gets attention. They just had their 10 year anniversary even though we have only been coming a month we feel like part of the family already and plan on staying for as long as our son gets a black belt ;) Also, I really love how this place is also month to month pay structure. We come 2x a week. I recommend having your kids do a 2 week trial. They wont regret it!! No pressure to sign up, the kids all look so eager to be there and you can see how many people were at their 10yr anniversary not to mention all that couldn't make it. Highly recommended and thanks to everyone working together there to making you feel a part of the family. Kudos to our neighbor Sara for the referral! read more

I've been going to this place since it first opened. i've been wanting to train muay thai and this place is the perfect spot. The head coach matt provides a positive training attitude while helping students attain individual goals. I'm very fortunate and lucky to have found this place and excited to be part of the growth. The receiptionist named galilea and very helpful. She helped me pick out the perfect size for my gear using the waist-pants neck trick read more

LOVE. My 12yo son is just starting, was very nervous the first day, but they had him fitting right in. My son has social anxiety, but craves individual style physical challenges (climbing, parkour...). Hapkido has been a perfect fit. I thought it would be "too baby/too beginner" for him, as a 12yo, but even with younger kids in the beginner class, he didn't feel too old. They challenge them right away to step up to level, and he left practicing the moves for hours. read more

Just went to their Black Belt Spectacular on 11-16-2024. It was exciting and see many friendly faces.

This class is really amazing I am almost a black belt and it has taught me so much. Thank you to all the teachers who helped me go through the tough times. read more

Great local gym with a mix of CrossFit and martial arts. This has created an amazing environment where the parents and their kids can get a great cork out in. The martial arts classes create a sense of community and discipline for the kids. One of the coolest parts about this CrossFit gym is they have an intro course to work with new members, where you learn to do the lifts safely! No need to be worried or intimidated read more

Didn't know what to expect when my 8 year old daughter and I walked into Evolution Martial arts. I'm a new single dad struggling to get my daughter motivated in any activities. One day while we were having lunch I bought up martial arts to her and she said she'll give it a try. Inspired of the thought of her trying anything new I began my google search. We spend the next afternoon driving to all the different martial art classes within a 10 mile radius of our home in Chatsworth. Our last stop was Evolution. Man was I impressed. 1st and far-most the facility is great. It's very important for me to see my daughter comfortable. The facility is very clean, open, and bright. You can rest assure that they make an effort to keep all the children safe. The layout for the kids to train while the parents sit and wait is awesome. Now lets talk about the instructors, Jayson was the our introduction to Evolution. He is very welcoming and accommodating. He gave us a tour of the facility and talk to us about trying a class out as a trial. I looked at my daughter and could see the hesitation and insecurities about to come up in her eyes. But Jayson has a special skill with children. His caring assertiveness kicked in and gave my daughter the little push of confidence she needed to just Try. So she did and we've been here a month or so and I already see a difference in my daughter. The other instructors are just as great, professional, and well respected by all. The classes are quite entertaining. Jayson's witty banter with our children is hilarious. Which is why this Works! The kids are learning skills they can take with them for the rest of there lives and have fun while doing it. The other students and families are very friendly as well. I'm so glad we're part of evolution. read more

Evolution is the best! We have been searching for a martial arts program that would be engaging, supportive and fun for our 8 year old son for quite some time. We have had some mediocre experiences in the past with other martial arts programs. So when our friends asked if we wanted to do a trial, we were hesitant. So glad we gave it a try. On day one of the trial, my son asked if we could join and I could see why. The overall environment (instructors, facility, families) all contribute to an environment of mutual respect and community. The kids are learning and having so much fun. Added plus... they also have a Crossfit program which coincides with my son's martial arts class. So I get in an awesome workout while he takes class! After months of watching the members of the Crossfit gym workout, I finally decided to give it a try. I'm a super beginner when it comes to any type of working out and they were great in showing me the correct way to do the workouts and modified to my level. read more

We signed our daughter up for Evolution's online Hapkido classes. Classes are held via Zoom after school and it works out well for us since we don't live near a studio. Master Jason makes it so much fun for the kids, my daughter always looks forward to class. The quality of instruction and attention to each student is top notch. The most valuable aspect of Evolution is that we do indeed see an evolution in her character--she's becoming more confident in her abilities and more disciplined. I am so grateful to Master Jason, Master Brandon and Master Noelle. They are the nicest and humblest people as well as very gifted instructors. If you are in the area, the studio is spacious and clean. It's a well-run place, the parents and kids always seem really happy to be there. They also offer classes for adults but I haven't had experience with them. Definitely worth a try. read more

I joined Crossfit Evolution almost 2 months ago and I can't imagine going back to the gym again. I'm officially addicted! I love the fact that when I walk in everyday I know I'm going to be doing something different. The owners, Brandon and Jason, are very knowledgable and dedicated in what they do. Jason mainly teaches the Martial Arts classes and Brandon coaches Crossfit. All the coaches there motivate you to not give up and strive towards your goal. Brandon, Sam and Walter are the main coaches I have worked with and they are always showing me and teaching me the proper form and technique. They even have a site called Beyond The Whiteboard which let's you keep track of your progress by logging in your weight and time. Everyone here is so helpful and knowledgable that I know I've made the right choice joining a positive atmosphere such as this. read more

My son has been going here for almost 2 years and loves it. He is 5.5 years old. They make it a lot of fun for the little ones, and also just the right strictness so the kids learn respect and discipline. Jason and the staff are all great with the kids...They have talks, and stretching sessions and every activity they do, they learn something new. My son has a blast. read more

There are many reasons why we opt to drive our son all the way to Evolution when there are so many around our area. My husband and I did our research: instructors, students, space and safety; flexibility with schedules and their program. Evolution is 5 stars in all those aspects. After visiting Evolution and watching students of all ages, esp the 4s - exuding discipline and confidence, we were so impressed. Teacher Jason is very professional and patient with the kids. Evolution offers a 2 week trial but it didn't take us that long to decide that we are committing ourselves here for the long term. My son is happy and always eager to go. I asked my son if he likes his teacher Jason, and he answered yes. That sealed the deal for us. read more

I found Evolution Martial Arts through yelp less than one year ago. After searching and calling numerous places I finally came across the one place that answered my call with respect and descent customer service. Jason who is one of the head Master's at Evolution gave me all the info needed over the phone and offered a 2 week free try out class for my daughter. We started the 2 week try out and before the first week had even ended, I immediately started the program and signed my daughter up. Its been well over 6 months now and we love and enjoy each and every class. Going into the first class was very difficult because my little one was afraid of starting and terrified of strangers in general. Jason himself was very patient and understanding. After a couple classes my daughter was begging to go in more often. I appreciate everything they have done for us. Not only has my now 5 year old came out of her shell but the courage and confidence shes gotten out of this is priceless! They teach how to respect one another, how to properly introduce yourself as well as how to defend and protect one another. The discipline thought here is more than i could ask for, it's seriously one big happy family at Evolution! I couldn't be any more happier and I recommend anyone that wants to start some sort of an activity for their kids. Its fun, educational and most of all a safe and happy environment to be in. Love love everyone at Evolution! Thank you Jason for the fun experience you have provided so far. read more

I've been interested in finding some form of martial arts for my 4 year old son to start and there were so many options available. Ultimately I wanted him to learn to focus, have more discipline and be able to defend himself and I think that's the goal of most martial arts. Evolution offered a two week trial which was fantastic because as a parent you want to ensure your child is enjoying what he's doing before you commit to classes/uniform etc. Jason and Brandon the owners, were both welcoming and great teachers. There was no sales pitch or pressure to join, the classes speak for themselves. Before committing to Evolution, I took my son to a few different martial art schools to try out (they gave one free lesson and expected you to join immediately afterwards and the level of instruction wasn't even close to what you get at Evolution). My son loves going to his classes, which are the right size for his age - I found other schools had around 10-12 kids in a class, so your child just gets 'lost' in the numbers or the teacher couldn't control the class - you can't teach discipline and focus if you can't control the kiddo's!! I'd definitely recommend Evolution to anyone who's interested in martial arts for their kids. read more

--UPDATE 08/2015-- Where do I even start? This is the 2nd summer I've been here and this place is as awesome as ever. Evolution Martial Arts & Crossfit is NOT your typical box. The people here will become your family, this place will become your second home, and you will never want to consider another place to work out again.. I first checked out this place last summer because I wanted to learn some kind of martial arts and was also looking for an activity that would distract me from ongoing struggles in my personal life - Jason, one of the owners and the main martial arts instructor, was incredibly encouraging from the first second of my first class with him, all the way until now (2 summers later). I never would have considered starting Hapkido (I was originally here for kickboxing), but his enthusiasm for both the sport and his students pulled me into his classes. The staggering amount for which he cares for the people at his gym is seriously baffling, and I am forever grateful to have such a presence in my life, let alone to have him as an instructor. Soon enough, I was encouraged to start Crossfit as well. I had never lifted a barbell in my life, but without even expecting it, the constant 1:1 guidance, the incredible motivation and attitude of the coaches (Shoutout to Brandon, Mario, and Walter!!), and thrill of working out with people who inspire and motivate you hooked me in forever. The size of the classes may be growing, but the 1:1 training has not changed. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and prioritize safety while making sure you pass your preconceived limits! Moreover, they have turned into my friends who are not only there to help me work out, but also there as people I can hang out and have a good time with. Keep in mind that I'm normally shy around new people and can be plagued by insecurities, but never have I ever felt so welcomed and cared for by coaches and people at a gym. TLDR: The coaches and people working out at this place will help you surpass your own limits, will increase your mental AND physical confidence, will give you a fun and safe workout, and will be the best box you will ever train at. Unfortunately I can only be here over the summer due to my schedule at school, but this place will forever be the gym I return to, and the gym that helped lift heavy personal burdens off my shoulders every time I walked in. Basically, stop reading this and just sign up. It'll be the best decision you'll ever make! read more

JUST SHOW UP! You will be happy you did! I have been doing CrossFit for several weeks now after having some apprehension about doing it as it looks so hard core, but I can assure you that it is a great workout. Brandon, one of the owners of Evolution Martial Arts Academy and CrossFit and one of the CrossFit coaches, really works with each person to ensure correct form before adding weight and moving on. I appreciate the attention to detail and correct form as I am not interested in doing a move that can potentially sideline me for days,weeks or months on end. Coach Brandon and Coach Allison are great coaches with lots of experience in Cross Fit. They are good about breaking down the technical aspects of how to do a specific exercise. Each person that walks through the door is always welcomed with a smile and tons of enthusiasm . The studio and the cross fit area is kept nice and clean which as a parent, I always appreciate. The mat space for martial arts and kickboxing is huge and I look forward trying out those two programs. It's a really cool place and if you live or work in the West Valley, I can recommend you try it out! Just show up and you will see. UPDATE: For some reason, Yelp decided to FILTER my review. So I am reposting as the word needs to get out about this great place. read more

Evolution Martial Arts & Crossfit is not just a gym/box where you show up - do your time and leave. You are treated like a regular right away - the coaches take away the intimidation factor and ease you in. As a beginner to crossfit - I had no idea what I was doing. You don't just jump into heavy lifting and find your way. You start in an intro class where you learn techniques first - weight later. After 4 weeks - you advance to the "regular" class and make progress and set goals. As a business owner in Santa Monica - I have the leisure to drive back to the valley and make a 7pm - 8pm class. Although you are in a group setting - the training is very 1 on 1. Anyone who's looking to build friendships - get in shape and have an amazing time doing it - highly suggest to check out EVO. Jason and Brandon really put thought and effort in creating an amazing facility. It's very diversified from 50 year old males - 40 year old mothers to 20 year old young adults. You are gauranteed to make this place your second home! read more

Once you cross, you can't go back! I started coming to EVO off a Groupon thinking that it would be a quick boost to my race time PR. Seven months later, I find myself immersed in the culture and hungry for more every day. Initially I started training with Jason and Brandon, the heads of the house and owners of the place, but now they have two new very knowledgable and approachable trainers - Walter and Sam. This place has become my second home - it's not just about the workouts, it's about the philosophy. Thanks EVO! read more

My Fiance and I both decided to change our lifestyle so we can live longer for each other and for our families. Between obesity, gout, back pain, joint pains, shortness of breath, hypertension, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, and GERD, our lives weren't headed towards a prosperous future. At Evo, you do not have to be a fitness pro. You can have little to no experience and you will see results. I promise. Since we have started Evo Crossfit, March 2016, most of the diagnosis's listed above are gone. We still have a long road to meet our goals, but we are headed for a healthier future. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the Coaches at Evo. They have revived my feelings of motivation and I am achieving my fitness goals. They take extra time to teach you proper form to prevent injuries, yet push you beyond your limits. They are great coaches who are positive, down to earth and make exercise fun. I can truly say that I love going to this Box and I look forward to finding out what our work out is for the day. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I originally looked into options for myself and 3 kids (ages 8-5-3) to get healthy in a fun way at the same time. They're responses to all of my concerns were addressed thoroughly with multiple options and plans that would best suit my family needs. Unfortunately, due to COVID the classes offered for my 3 y/o was no longer available. This is not a bad thing it's just a testament to how conscious and proactive this company is for the safety of themselves and the safety of their members. Already a plus in my book. Gyms are the easiest way to pick up germs and when I stepped foot into this gym it was clean, neat, and completely organized with sectioned off space for each member to safely work out at a conservative safe distance. There is great ventilation and organization of how they run their classes. My 2 older kids joined the Hapkido program and they absolutely LOVE it. Jason is amazing with the kids especially with the little ones that have an attention span of ZERO. They teach the kids not only technics of the martial art but basic life skills like how to be a model citizen. They meditate before class for a few mins and at the end of class they have knowledge discussions that range from honesty to the meaning of community. The 2 week free trial is an awesome way to really get a good feel if this is the right place for you. I highly recommend this place. If you know me, I only write reviews that I feel extremely strong about whether its good or bad - and this one is definitely a MUST. Thanks Marian for recommending this place to us! read more

It has been one year since I joined EVO, and I'm happy to report, that I finally found a program, that I absolutely love! CrossFit has changed my life in many ways. I feel stronger, more physically fit, and even have muscles! jaja But the best part has been accomplishing things I never imagined! Thank you Mr. Brandon While I CrossFit, my children train Hapkido at the same time in the same studio. They have shown tremendous improvement, not only in martial arts, but also in discipline, confidence and strength. Thank you Mr. Jason for being such a great instructor. read more

My family & I have been members of Evolution for almost 5 months and I cannot praise this place enough. Two things brought Evolution to our attention: the positive word of mouth, and the fact that they offered both Crossfit AND martial arts classes. We were looking for a gym that all four of my family members could attend at the same time, and we found it at Evo. My teenage son, my wife and I attend the Crossfit classes while our youngest attends Martial Arts classes. Crossfit: The classes are great. The coaches and instructors have created a safe, educational, and challenging environment for all skill levels. I, personally, have never been part of any formal structured workout program; yet the coaches made me feel comfortable and at ease. Coaches Brandon, Mario and Walter are all amicable and very knowledgeable. They push all the athletes to their best, but make sure they do it safely and to the best of the athlete's ability. Martial Arts: Again, kudos goes to coaches Jason & AJ for teaching such a great class! My son started when he was 6, and he hasn't looked back ever since. The instructors are very knowledgeable and gregarious and great with the kids. They challenge them to do their best, emphasizing discipline and and a sense of family that encourages the kids to keep coming back. If you're looking for a gym that offers a very professional, safe, challenging and enjoyable environment with knowledgeable, personable and great coaches and instructors; Evolution Martial Arts & Crossfit is the place to be! read more

this review is long overdue as we have been EVOMAA members since early 2015. full disclosure: my husband went to college with Mr. Brandon, one of the co-owners, who invited us to bring our then four-year-old son in for a free lesson. our son took to it quite naturally and we signed up! he's moved through the tiny tigers program and is now on his way to the black belt club as part of the hapkido jrs program. our youngest son started the mini cubs program over the summer; my husband takes adult hapkido when his work schedule allows. in the last three years, our lives have been enriched in several ways. i have made more than a few close friends, which as a full-time stay-at-home mom, can sometimes be difficult, lol. it's been nice to have other parents to lean on and commiserate with during the hour-long classes 2-4x a week, you know? to watch our oldest son gain both skill and confidence has been an ongoing joy - the instructors, especially Mr. Jason, have high expectations, are firm but warm in their teaching style, and know how to balance the strict standards with fun activities. His style in particular is well-suited to how our son learns best - we also find it to complement our own parenting style at home, so the consistency is appreciated. EVOMAA goes beyond martial arts instruction and spends some time during each class talking about important values, character traits, and lifestyle changes with the kids. they talk about how to be a good student, how to act responsibly and respectfully at home, and how to take care of their bodies (our youngest son loves to say, "no vegetables, no class!") so they can perform to their best abilities. the connections between what the kids do on the mat and at school and at home is definitely something we haven't seen at the boys' other extracurricular activities. beyond classes, another aspect of EVOMAA we really like is how they celebrate the students' achievements. belt tests and ceremonies take place every couple of months. I cry at every single one! when the students pass their exam, they take part in a ceremony the next day where they receive their new belts. Mr. Jason and Mr. Brandon always give a speech commending the students' progress and effort and often give special recognition to those who showed exemplary work. Sometimes the demo team puts on a performance of skills and tricks, which they choreograph themselves. It's really something you have to see for yourself. They also give us parents regular updates and relevant information - in fact, EVOMAA provides everything we need to know via email, text notifications, and on its website, which is super helpful for busy families! They also respond timely if you have additional concerns. most recently, we threw our youngest son's 4th birthday party at the studio. to say it was a huge success would be an understatement! the entire EVOMAA team made the whole party so easy for us. there were three instructors on the mat and they led the kids through an obstacle course, warm ups, agility/balance/speed relays, basic hapkido forms (six positions, punches, stances, rolls, kicks, etc.), and games. to witness 28 kids of all ages be fully engaged and actively participating for more than an hour was extremely impressive. Mr. Jason shows a command over both children and adults that I have only seen in past life as an elementary school teacher: the children listen intently and respond with the same respect he shows them. the parents of our son's classmates at the party were extremely impressed with the quality of the entertainment/activity and with the ease in which the party handled serving pizza and birthday donuts to a table full of hungry, excited children. an added bonus is the certificate for six free classes so that each child that participated at the party can come back for a real class! TL;DR - joining EVOMAA is one of the best things we've done for our children and we are grateful for their continuing influence on our sons' health, self-esteem, and positive attitude. read more

I took the Be Your Own Bodyguard self defense course here about a month ago. It was AMAZING! After a 4 hour Saturday class, I walked away feeling way more confident and comfortable in my own shoes. I found this class through my dad, who's been doing cross fit here for about a year now. The coaches are all so kind and have always been very welcoming to my family and I when we come visit. My dad has never been happier, and he's been in various forms of martial arts and fitness programs good whole life. I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. Everyone should be lucky to join a family like the one at Evolution. read more

This isn't my regular gym anymore, but I loved the feeling after my workouts at Evolution. Crossfit at Evolution has really shown me how much I can improve in strength and cardio. I was sore after my classes but I always felt motivated to push myself as much as I could. Coach Brandon and Coach Allison always told me to scale down if I needed to and gave me great advice. I had to stop training at Evolution because I had to move closer to my work. I have since joined a gym closer to my new home but it is not the same. There are days where I am willing to drive all the way to Chatsworth to take a class. I try to stay in touch with them and they always tell me I welcome at EVO any time. If any of you are lucky enough to live by this Martial Arts/ CrossFit gym give it a try... you wont regret it! read more

Been coming here since May. Awesome place to work out! Great motivation from the coaches; Brandon, Walter and Sam. They pay lots of attention to form to ensure safety. I use to frequent regular gyms. Im done with that. Crossfit has become something on my calendar that I sure dont skip on. Its never the same workout and you will get in shape fast! Crossfit gets you ready for the unexpected. I suggest you check this place out. read more

This was my first CrossFit gym, and I could not be happier. The instructors are super helpful and the classes are relatively small. I know they are getting bigger, so they have begun to offer more classes in the evenings. The only reason I am not going there now is because it is a little out of my way. But I will be returning shortly, because I truly miss going. And they have the martial arts classes for kids right in the next room, so parents can take the class and their kiddos can take one too. read more

My son has been going to EVO for over one year and each time he goes, he is more and more motivated! Besides just doing physical activities, they also teach the children to practice manners and respect outside in the real world. Before each testing to move up to the next belt, he becomes more and more determined to pass to the next level. The teachers prepare the class and give attention to each child equally. My son loves his class and looks up to Mr. Jason as his mentor. The teachers and class are so well structured yet very fun! I highly recommend this wonderful class to all children and families. read more

We love Evolution! The instructors are great with kids! They definitely teach and value discipline, but are still reasonable and relatable as positive influencers in our kids' lives. (I have heard stories of some parents visiting other martial arts studios and being turned off because they are too strict and not understanding - not so, here!) I absolutely LOVE that my daughter is learning self defense (and offense), respect, responsibility, dedication, discipline, and confidence... all while having fun! read more

We love Evolution! Our 4 year old daughter always looks forward to going to class. The instructors are amazing, patient, funny, and great with kids. We think our daughter is improving her listening skills and getting great physical activity, all while having fun. The parents have a good time watching the classes too because the little ones are so cute! We wish the classes were longer! Worth every penny! Try the 2 week free trial!! read more

My now almost 6 year old son started Evolution Martial Arts after being gifted free classes from a birthday party he attended to at EVO. From day one, he was intrigued by the class and the instructors. From the first class, we found the staff welcoming, friendly, and fun (even to watch). Classes are technique oriented, while not being overly oppressive. They provide a very healthy structure, teach respect, mindfulness, and body control, all while keeping the class light hearted and super fun! Mr. Jason is an inspiring mentor to my son, and both my husband and I enjoy his ways of teaching- he's extremely funny! In fact, All the teachers are wonderful and caring and super attentive! My son has been going to EVO since September 2017. Before attending this class, my son was very shy in preschool, he never participated in circle time singing, he couldn't control his body- he kept moving around. NOW, my son is in kindergarten and he is the one student out of 6 other kindergarten classes to stand in front of a microphone in the auditorium of the school to lead a recital about kindness!! All this is thanks to the amazing time and energy put into allll the children in the class. The main thing that makes me extremely happy is seeing the high level of confidence and enthusiasm in my son whenever I tell him that he has Hapkido class that day. He absolutely loves it and most of all he is so passionate and respectful towards Hapkido!! Within one year, my son enthusiastically worked his way up from white belt all the way to green belt! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this class and can't find more words to express my appreciation for the class structure and teachers!!!! read more

Awesome place: clean, fun, and the staff is top notch. Come down for the beginners class and you'll be hooked.

My name is Jenny. I'm a 30 yr old lady who loves food, soda and liquor. I haven't been thin since college, and I haven't been in shape since middle school. I am NOT a natural lover of exercise. ...But I cannot say enough good things about Evolution (EVO) Crossfit. I began Evolution's Beginner Crossfit program in Feb 2016, mostly as a dare to myself, as everyone I knew told me that Crossfit "would kick my a**" Fyi, they were right. But it's worth it. In March, I became an official member. I'd recommend EVO to anyone--ANYONE. The people here are amazing. Brandon and Jason (Owners/Coaches) and Mario and Walter (Coaches) are extremely supportive, helpful and knowledgeable--they know their stuff. Furthermore, your fellow students never judge you. I am the slowest person of the entire program and have never once been made fun of. It's total support, and I appreciate it tremendously. Speaking of which, if you're someone out there thinking of joining but are hesitating... you can take comfort in the fact that--right from the get-go--you'll be faster than at least one other member :-) This month (Aug 2016) was my 6 month anniversary. I have NO plans of quitting. Hooyah, EVO! read more

We started with Evolution a few months back and we are beyond happy with the service and knowledge provided by Jason and his staff. They are great at what they do and taking my daughter to each and every class is just what we needed to give her the strength and discipline needed for her age. Thank you to everyone here for the awesome training and super customer service! read more

This is an awesome studio and we highly recommend it. My son has been a tiny tiger at Evolution for a little over year now and he has improved a great deal in terms of his development in self-control and respect for others. I also love that he is learning leadership skills and great work ethics. This is our first experience with martial arts but this is a perfect fit for our family and we look forward to many more years in partnership with them. read more

My son has been taking Hapkido at Evolution for the past year. In this short amount of time, I have seen a vast improvement in his balance, coordination, strength and discipline. He truly loves the classes and friends he has made here. The instructors are wonderful with the children and make learning fun. Everyone is extremely nice and cares about the kids. I look forward to enrolling my younger son in the classes when he reaches the right age. read more

Evolution Martial Arts is absolutely amazing and we highly recommend them to everyone we know. Their MiniCubs and Tiny Tigers Hapkido classes provide the perfect balance of physical activity, discipline and fun and our son looks forward to going to class every week. All of the instructors are phenomenal and they keep the children engaged with different activities that vary from class to class. They work towards improving each child's self discipline, communication skills and confidence while also encouraging the kids to work together as a team and have fun. Performance incentives are given such as stickers, goodies from the treasure chest and belt stripes and individual achievement goals are set for the students. These help keep the kids interested and encourage them to stay focused and work hard towards improving their performance and skills. When a child performs especially well or masters a certain skill, they are recognized in front of the class. Over time the kids are rewarded with tips on their belts and progression to the next belt color/level resulting in high self-esteem. The instructors can be strict with the kids and they hold them accountable for their behavior but they do it in a way that commands respect and fosters positivity. They challenge the children to improve their skill set and be their very best. Our son started taking classes when he was 3 years old and he is now 4 1/2. During this time he has greatly improved his balance, flexibility, concentration, core strength, knowledge of the positions and listening skills. We hope that our son will continue to attend his Hapkido classes and progress through the ranks for many years to come. read more

We've been looking for a right program for our son to learn discipline and self confidence for so long and we finally found Evolution Martial Arts & Crossfit. I can't thank enough to Mr. Jason and his team of instructors have been a positive influence towards my son, they are extremely caring and understanding. The most important thing is my son loves his class and so motivated to learn more and more. They have helped my son become a better person just by teaching him in different ways. Thank you to the great team! read more
