Dropped in from out of town for a NoGi class. I appreciated the friendly and relaxed environment. Quality instruction, clean mats, and an overall good people/space :)

While traveling, I was looking for a place to continue my training and decided to drop in at Evolution Martial Arts. From the moment I walked through the door, I felt genuinely welcome. The gym itself is fantastic—clean, well organized, and a beautiful place to train. Everyone was friendly, respectful, and very welcoming. As a visitor, I immediately felt accepted and comfortable training at my own level. The instructors and students were patient, helpful, and created a great atmosphere. What impressed me most was the quality of the instruction. The coaches clearly know what they’re doing and teach with professionalism, attention to detail, and real expertise. This is the real deal. Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to train and improve for years to come, you’ll find excellent guidance here. Overall, Evolution Martial Arts is a world-class gym with a great culture and outstanding instruction. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to train. I’ll definitely stop by again if I’m back in the area.

Such an awesome and welcoming environment!! I was home visiting for two weeks and popped in for a few of Dawson’s kickboxing classes. The whole group was so much fun to be a part of and I laughed and learned a lot. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m home!

I trained at Evolution MA a few months ago, while traveling to St Johns. and I gotta say, it's pretty much the best place to learn jujitsu. I have found my new St. Johns BJJ home. The instructor, Dru, is a real beauty. He's super knowledgeable and patient, explaining things so even a hoser like me can understand. He's also got a killer sense of humor—I'm pretty sure he's funnier than all the Trailer Park Boys put together. What really makes this place special, though, is how welcoming everyone is. The students are the friendliest folks you'll ever meet; they're more polite than a Canadian on a hockey rink. I'm pretty sure I heard Jake ask for consent as he slowly choked me. There's no ego here, just a bunch of people who love to learn and help each other out. It's so awesome it makes me want to say 'sorry' for not finding it sooner. If you're looking for a top-notch gym with great coaching and an awesome community, you've found it. Don't be a beauty, just get down there and give it a shot, eh

Beauty of a gym! I dropped in from out of town and I felt very welcome. The classes are tailored to all levels of experience. Head instructor was very detailed and attentive, making sure everyone was understanding the technique and training safely. Definitely drop in here if you’re travelling or start training there!
