What an incredible weekend for Evolution Martial Arts!

We’re thrilled to share the outstanding achievements of our team at the Yokoso Dutch Open 2025, held in the vibrant city of Amsterdam.

Despite entering the competition with just seven fighters, Evolution Martial Arts secured an impressive 14th place out of 134 teams – an extraordinary accomplishment on such a large international stage.

Each athlete gave their all, showcasing remarkable skill, courage, and sportsmanship. Beyond the medals and victories, what truly stood out was the unity of the team. Our fighters supported one another every step of the way – a true family on and off the mats. Coaching this team is always an honour, and their dedication continues to make us proud.
