From the reviews
Evolution Martial Arts Center is the best karate school I've ever encountered. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was impressed by the professionalism of Colbey and Raymond. Their expertise as some of the best world champions in karate and kickboxing and their passion for karate is unparalleled!
Took my kiddo to Evo Martial Arts and had an amazing experience so far! The vibe at the center is welcoming and professional. Their approach to teaching is both engaging and effective.
Evolution Martials Arts is fantastic! The dojo is very family oriented, and the Sensi's work very well with the kids. Our children attend the two separate classes while my husband and I attend the adult Kickboxing Class.

New to Karate? Start at Evolution Martial Arts Center
Evolution Martial Arts Center comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Evolution Martial Arts Center
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
