Evade MMA is a special place with special coaches! Specific shout out to Stuart for his amazing guidance when newly arriving to the gym and being such a wealth of knowledge and advice.
MMA classes are fantastic. Anthony, who teaches the fundamentals class, is such a knowledgable and approachable coach! Highly recommend this gym if you’re looking for martial arts training.
Every coach here is dedicated and friendly.
My daughter has trained at Evade for over 14 years, and I truly can’t speak highly enough of it. The club has played such an important role in shaping the incredible young woman she has become. She competed many times and achieved numerous titles along the way, but more importantly, she gained confidence, resilience, and lifelong friendships.
The support from the coaches and her teammates is outstanding — they really are her second family. I’ll always be so grateful to Stuart and everyone at Evade. You’ve not only supported my daughter’s journey but also made my role as a mum so much easier. Thank you for everything.
I can’t recommend Evade Martial Arts enough! My 8, 14, and 15-year-olds all train here, and the impact has been incredible. The instructors are phenomenal at balancing fun for my youngest with the high-level discipline my teenagers need. My 8-year-old has gained so much confidence and focus, while my teens have found a healthy outlet for stress and a great way to build physical strength. It’s more than just martial arts; they are learning respect, goal-setting, and leadership skills that carry over into school and home.
I started training at Evade in my 40’s and couldn’t have chosen a better place. From day one, the atmosphere has been incredibly friendly, inclusive, and fun, making it easy to feel welcome regardless of age or experience.
My 10 year old daughter also trains at Evade, which speaks volumes about the trust I have in the instructors and the environment. Everyone in the club supports each other, and training is both enjoyable and motivating. I’d highly recommend Evade to anyone considering starting their martial arts journey.
Evade is a great Martial Arts Gym, with fantastic coaches. Have trained there for over 10 years. Access to world class seminars, plus a welcoming & friendly atmosphere. Great for the amateur enthusiast or those seeking to compete at high level. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend Evade Martial Arts. The coaching is high quality, professional, and motivating, and the gym has a positive and supportive atmosphere. Training is well-structured and helps build fitness, confidence, and discipline. It’s a great place to learn kickboxing and push yourself while being supported by both coaches and teammates.
I am so grateful for the incredible experience my son, Jenson, has had at Evade Martial Arts Gym. He began his martial arts journey at just 6 years old, joining the Little Ninjas class, and has now progressed to the Cadet Masters class at the age of 10. The transformation we've seen in him over the years has been amazing, both in terms of his confidence and his technical ability.
One of the standout features of Evade Martial Arts is the fantastic staff. The team is incredibly friendly, supportive, and genuinely passionate about teaching. Their ability to connect with the kids and guide them in their martial arts journey is second to none. Jenson has loved every moment of his training, and it’s clear that the instructors care deeply about each student's development—not just in martial arts, but as individuals.
Thanks to the guidance of the staff, Jenson has grown tremendously. His confidence has skyrocketed, and his technical skills have improved year after year. The positive, encouraging environment at Evade has made learning martial arts an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for him.
If you're considering martial arts for your child or even for yourself, I cannot recommend Evade Martial Arts highly enough. It’s been an incredible journey for Jenson, and he’s never once looked back. He’s excited to continue his training, and I know he’ll be with Evade for years to come.
I grew up training at Evade mainly in Glossop but often managed to travel to this one in Mossley. I’ve been to many gyms all across the uk and even the world but I can honestly say it is one of (if not) the best equipped gyms I’ve had the privilege of training in. To go with the fantastic designs and equipment also comes equally as great coaches producing many champions. I couldn’t recommend this place enough whether you just want to get fit, socialize or compete there is most definitely something here for you!
Fabulous gym. I started 6 years ago when my son was in a ninjas class to fill the time, I go 3-4 times a week now and it’s been amazing for my fitness and energy. I’ll be going for black belt at my next grading! It’s totally inclusive, everyone is encouraged to reach their best regardless of age, fitness level etc. Lots of different classes to choose from in timetable and great facilities. Top class coaches who invest in all students. My daughter goes now as well and she loves it. Welcoming, respectful culture. Very lucky to have this place round the corner. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Evade is an exceptional martial arts gym. The coaches are very welcoming and offer extremely high quality instruction in multiple styles suitable for both beginners or the more advanced. The facilities are likewise excellent: The training space is large and well equipped, there is a changing room, and comfortable seating area whilst you wait. I strongly recommend training here.
If I could give Evade 6 stars I would! The quality of training and overall atmosphere are unmatched :) I recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in martial arts and fitness, or just wants to learn a new skill. The staff are always friendly, professional and very knowledgeable, which definitely translates on to the mats and the people you will be training with. No matter your age, goals, capabilities or skill levels, there is something at Evade for you.
My two sons have trained in martial arts since the age of 4 and we have tried many gyms over the years. Ever since we found Evade we have never looked back! The gym has a friendly, warm, and all-inclusive vibe. The number of different styles taught is also truly impressive concentrating heavily on good technique. One of my lads competes at a high level in a number of different styles and has been very successful, winning many World, European, English, British, and regional titles. This is 100% down to the coaches who reside there. I highly recommend this gym to everyone, child or adult of any experience from beginners, and hobbyists to seasoned fighters, even if you want to train just for fitness you will find no better gym!
The staff at Evade have been fantastic with my daughter over the last few years. They give an incredible amount of positivity within her training.
The club areas are very well thought out, meaning attendees are able to access a variety or training areas from bags and pads to rings and core strengthening areas. There are also multiple martial arts that people can participate in.
The waiting area is lovely and clean with a great cafe area for drinks and snacks. A great gym where staff are as keen for your child to succeed as you are. A family run club that keep the individual at the forefront of all they do.
