    EVX is an awesome dojo. I've trained for several years and tried a few different styles. Shihan Moree and the instructors do a fantastic job using realistic scenarios and stress tests to train you to actually apply practical self-defense in real-world situations.

    Simply amazing place to learn real self-defense and more. Since I started training here in 2021 I have always felt like this was home. Josh Moree is an incredible instructor who makes learning new skills and techniques seamless and fun. The environment is relaxed and inviting.

    We found the perfect fit for our 7-year-old. So welcoming — can help even the shyest kid feel comfortable. Our 10-year-old saw it and immediately proclaimed he wanted to join too. He refuses to sign up for anything.

    Shihan Moree is an exceptional instructor who truly cares about his students. The curriculum is thoughtful, progressive, and practical. I've trained at other gyms and nothing compares to the depth of instruction here.

    This is the real deal. Not a belt factory — actual skill development with instructors who know their stuff and care about your progress. The adult program is serious training in a welcoming environment.
