What's happening at Evolve
A year-round lineup of celebrations, competitions, and community events for members and families of all ages.
Mock-Jitsu
Our Mock Jiu-Jitsu Tournament Series gives students the excitement of competition in a supportive, familiar environment. Held once or twice each month, participants are placed into tournament-style brackets with carefully matched opponents based on experience and within a 5-pound weight difference, giving them the opportunity to compete under official rules with referees, coaches, a live point system, medals, and at least two matches. It’s the perfect way to build confidence, gain valuable competition experience, and prepare for future tournaments—all while cheering on teammates and having fun.
Mock-Thai
Held every Friday, Mock Thai gives students the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in class through controlled, supervised Muay Thai matches in a safe and supportive environment. With coaches, referees, and realistic competition procedures, students gain valuable experience, build confidence under pressure, and sharpen their skills—whether they’re preparing for competition or simply looking to challenge themselves and grow.
Evolve Serves Initiatives
Giving back is an important part of who we are. Through toy drives, food drives, backpack drives, neighborhood cleanups, and other community service initiatives, Evolve members learn that true strength isn’t just measured by what you accomplish for yourself—it’s also measured by how you serve others.
Seasonal Family Bike Rides
Our seasonal family bike rides are a fun way to get outside, stay active, and enjoy quality time together beyond the academy. Open to members of all ages and skill levels, these community rides encourage healthy lifestyles, strengthen friendships, and remind us that some of the best memories are made off the mats.
Quarterly QT Club
QT Club is a quarterly gathering designed specifically for our youth members, creating a safe, supportive space to connect beyond training. Through open conversations about topics like identity, self-worth, confidence, friendships, and life’s challenges, students are encouraged to ask questions, share experiences, and build meaningful connections with their peers and mentors.
FriDATE: Nerf Battle
Our Nerf Battle FriDATE turns the academy into an action-packed battlefield where kids can team up, strategize, and have an absolute blast. It’s the perfect mix of friendly competition, teamwork, and nonstop fun in a safe, supervised environment.
Annual Member Appreciation Picnic
Our Member Appreciation Picnic is our way of saying thank you to the incredible families who make Evolve what it is. Filled with food, games, activities, and time together outside the academy, it’s a chance to celebrate the friendships and community we’ve built together.
FriDATE: Kids Night Market
Our Kids Night Market gives young entrepreneurs the chance to showcase their creativity by selling handmade crafts, treats, artwork, and more. It’s a fun way for kids to build confidence, practice communication, learn valuable life skills, and support one another in a real-world setting.
Annual Halloween Parade
Our annual Halloween Parade is a family favorite, with students and coaches dressing up, showing off creative costumes, and celebrating together in a fun, welcoming environment. It’s another way we help children build friendships and confidence while making unforgettable memories with their Evolve family.
Annual Easter Egg Hunt
Each spring, we host our annual Easter Egg Hunt for our youngest members and their families. It’s a simple but exciting tradition that brings our community together, fills the academy with smiles, and gives kids another reason to look forward to spending time at Evolve.
Annual Christmas & White Elephant
The holidays are one of our favorite times of the year at Evolve. Our annual Christmas celebration brings members and families together for food, laughter, games, and our always-entertaining White Elephant gift exchange—creating memories that extend far beyond the mats.
World-Class Seminars
At Evolve, we regularly bring world-class Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioners to our academy, giving our members the opportunity to learn from some of the biggest names in the sport.
