The Meaning of EVOLVE





"evolve [i'volve] verb: to undergo continuous change, development, and progress"


EVOLVE is a family.   First and foremost, Evolve is a family. Together - students, instructors, and staff - we push each other to become better, we challenge each other to grow, and we inspire each other to be the best that we can be. Our family is strengthened by lifelong friendships born today and forged by the warrior values of excellence, humility, loyalty, courage, integrity, and honor. We come from all walks of life. We come in different shapes and sizes. We come in different colors. And we hail 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, students, laborers, world champions, office managers, doctors, administrative assistants, professional fighters, PR executives, oil service engineers, advertising executives, cleaners, immigration officers, investment professionals, video game makers, nurses, entrepreneurs, bankers, logistics specialists, CEOs, and so much more. Yet, we are all one. We are the greatest family of champions in life.

EVOLVE is a way of life.  It is a championship attitude of excellence for those who want to unleash their potential in life. It is in the gym. It is in our workplace. It is in our home. We carry this attitude everywhere we go. It is a passion for continuous self-improvement - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually - forever. It is a philosophy of courage to chase dreams and to defy odds. It is a belief that no matter what life throws our way, we will rise to the occasion and emerge victorious. It is a belief that tough times do not last, but tough people do. It is a belief that life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain. Whether it is trying to become a World Champion, a better mother, a loving husband, a CEO, or a good daughter, it is about discovering our own greatness today and beyond. Because greatness has no finish line.

EVOLVE is a journey.  Long ago, our instructors and leaders began their journey as children, learning martial arts under some of the greatest grandmasters in history. They have converged from all over the world to join hands at Evolve to pass along the knowledge and wisdom of martial arts. The journey of martial arts is not about violence or physical intimidation. Martial arts is a journey of self-discovery. It is about pushing the limits - and learning to break through those limits. It is about learning, growing, and then giving back to the world. It is a quest to make the world a better place by becoming everything that we can be as individuals - so that we may give back one day. It is the circle of life.
