Many of our students are very serious about competing.  Known for their intensity, aggression, and fighting spirit, our fight team, Team Evolution MMA is made up of highly dedicated individuals who compete in a variety of martial arts competitions such as Karate, Kickboxing, and MMA.  Check out our fight team website at...

We train out of a large, well equipped location featuring a large, fully matted practice area, a 16ft fight cage, and a variety of training aids, such as free-weights and heavy bags. 

We are looking for students who have a great desire to learn and are looking for a place to push their mind, spirit, and body to the next level.
We are a school for people who want to see what they are truly made of, and push themselves to the limit in a fun, challenging, and professional atmosphere.  We deliver in quality instruction, and effective techniques... Nothing else.
Our belief is that a black belt is not something that is simply handed out to anyone who can pay for it (this seems to be many schools philosophies). We believe that much like a phd, it is something that is earned after years of study (and a few hundred bumps and bruises in our case).  Likewise, simply lifting weights and wearing MMA apparel is not proper preparation for a cage fight... dedication, time, and serious training is needed to be at the top of your game.
We offer the most comprehensive training around, from sport fighting (Kickboxing, MMA, Boxing), to traditional belted systems (Karate, Tae-Kwon-Do, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). We will provide one of the greatest challenges of your life, and reward you with a martial arts education you can be proud of, and an arsenal of REAL fighting techniques (something that is often hard to find in today's belt mill martial art schools).
Martial arts competitions, in our opinion, are an important part of anyone's training if they wish to truly excel in their abilities . All students are given the opportunity to spar FULL CONTACT* during each class, as well compete in a variety of martial arts competitions, tournaments, and events.
Aside from being an important part of our curriculum, competitions also play a part in belt advancement.

Our Instructors have a very well rounded martial arts education.  We have 3 full time black belt instructors, a part time black belt instructor, 2 certified boxing coaches, and 3 wrestling coaches.  See the "
Meet Your Instructors" page for more info.
Who We're Looking For:
Serious people, with a serious desire to learn a truly challenging, yet highly effective martial arts discipline that combines the best of ancient tradition with modern world practicality.   
 
We also offer training in  the Key Peninsula area
 
*Because we aim to practice for realistic situations and full contact sporting events, part of our curriculum is full contact sparring. Safety is our number one concern, and every possible safety measure is taken.
