Who is Evolve MMA?
"evolve [i'volve] verb: to undergo continuous change, development, and progress."
Everyone (students, instructors, and staff) at Evolve MMA shares a unique and common bond: we possess a passion for excellence in everything that we do. As World Champion and Evolve Instructor Yoddecha Sityodtong always says, "the best attract the best" and "the best produce the best." Together - students, instructors, and staff - we push each other to become better athletes, we challenge each other to grow as martial artists, and we inspire each other to be the best that we can be as human beings. We are from all parts of the globe like Brazil, Singapore, Thailand, US, Japan, Korea, UK, Canada, Germany, China, India, Pakistan, Russia, Latvia, Venezuela, Indonesia, Spain, Australia, Hong Kong, and many other countries. We are dentists, pilots, professional fighters, CEOs, investment bankers, university students, laborers, office managers, doctors, administrative assistants, oil service engineers, advertising executives, cleaners, immigration officers, investment professionals, video game makers, nurses, entrepreneurs, bankers, logistics specialists, and so much more.
We are all different. Yet, we are all one - bound by our relentless desire to become the very best person that each of us can be.
Evolve MMA is a family of superstars. There are 3 main types of students (in no particular order) at Evolve MMA:

The "Fun Lover" aspires for something more from himself/herself and demands the very best out of life. For the "Fun Lover," martial arts is often something new to his/her life.
