My daughter is 12, shes been training MMA for a few years, I felt it was time for her to take training to a different level and BJJ is what she wanted to learn, I did a search, found Evolution, the next day I took my daughter for her first lesson, she loved it, and the following day my 5 year old son had his first lesson. Now both my kids are training. All it took was watching one lesson to see Evolution is where my kids belong.

You won’t find a better teacher, team mates, or environment to learn Jiu Jitsu anywhere else in the Hudson Valley. That is why people drive an hour + to learn here.

I have been training Jiu-Jitsu for over 23 years and I was pleasantly surprised to find a school headed by a top tier competitive black belt, Mike Palladino, to train at. Great people, great facility and world class instruction!

Fantastic gym great people!

Next level!!! Perfect balance of traditional BJJ and modern grappling. Mike is passionate and well versed in a variety of modalities. The energy in the gym is fantastic. Perfect for all ages and skill levels.

Great atmosphere great coaches all around great place!!!

EGA is a fantastic gym with classes excellent for both children and adults. Mike is a wonderful teacher and he puts 100% in every day. All of the other teachers are great as well, and the students are all super positive and supportive!
