The gym is spacious, clean, and welcoming. The instructors at EVKM are truly top-notch, and I always feel at home when I train here. Having trained at many martial arts gyms across the country and abroad, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite dojos. The quality of the training facilities, combined with the instructors’ exceptional professionalism and deep knowledge, sets this place apart. Thank you for providing the opportunity to train with the best!

EVKM is the place to be to learn self-defense, get a great cardio workout and be amongst others that are dedicated to greatness. I definitely feel stronger, more aware of my surroundings and how to use my body for survival. Thank you to the entire team at EVKM for all of your hard work!

This is an amazing place to start training. The equipment is of the highest quality and all the instructors are outstanding. Before coming here, my experience was limited to internal martial arts styles. I decided to join EVKM to learn about striking and combat techniques. The instruction is clear and very friendly, I highly recommend coming and trying it.

Fantastic first experience. The instructors are great at explaining and showing the moves. Keith showed me around and gave me a quick intro so I didn't feel completely lost. Great experience.

Highly Recommend! What an awesome experience. The Facility is so clean and everything you need for an incredible workout and learn skills that can help build confidence and self defense. The instructors are exceptional and super friendly and easy to talk to. No egos. People just ready to train and grow. Couldn't be more thrilled after first class. If you're tired of the gym and the same workout routines you should check this place out! Thank you Keith and Corbin! You guys rock! And thanks Ronnie for being my first self defense partner! EVKM deserves more than 5 stars!
