There’s a class happening every Saturday in Arlington that’s hard to describe until you’ve seen it: two people moving inside a circle of participants clapping, singing, and playing instruments. It looks like a dance. It’s also a fight. Somehow, it’s both at once. It also happens to be one of the most welcoming communities you’ll find. That’s Capoeira.
Led by Master Antonio Javali and Jose Canchan, EvolveAll is home to one of the area’s few dedicated Capoeira programs.

Most people who try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu say they wish they’d started sooner. Today is the day to begin. Almost everyone walks in for the first time unsure of what to expect. The coaches and students at EvolveAll remember that feeling well and they’re there to guide you through it.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art focused on ground fighting and submission grappling. Sparring at EvolveAll happens every class, with real intensity. Every roll is a live, resistance-based puzzle with a training partner. EvolveAll is not a competition school. Instead, they’re focused on the growth and development of each person on the mat.
