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!
