After 17 years...
Evolution Training 
Martial Arts is closed!

"After 17 years of offering martial arts instruction, I am shutting down my school. This was not a quick decision, but rather one that took a year of consideration and planning with our black belts, two of whom now have their own successful schools. If you are seeking the type of professional instruction, safety, and respectful atmosphere that Evolution Training was known for, then I highly recommend both Momentum Jiu Jitsu and Next Generation Martial Arts. You will find me training or teaching at these excellent schools in our region. See you on the mats!"
