Next Evolution Martial Arts

Next Evolution Martial Arts is your family-oriented haven in Spanish Harlem/Upper East Side/Upper West Side, empowering individuals of all ages to become the best versions of themselves. Since 2005, we've been the Spanish Harlem's first authentic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy, building a strong foundation of respect, confidence, and lifelong skills.

For children as young as three, we offer structured programs that nurture their potential. From dynamic Kaizen Karate Do, blending elements of Shotokan, Ninjutsu, and Tae Kwon Do, to empowering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, your child will find a path to growth. We even provide a convenient After School Program with pick-up service and a full-day Summer Camp for a well-rounded experience.

Adults can discover a world of possibility through our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai Kickboxing classes. Whether you're seeking to reach peak fitness, master self-defense techniques, or train for competition, we have a program designed to help you achieve your goals.

Martial arts are more than just techniques; they're a springboard for personal development. Our curriculum emphasizes encouragement, loyalty, and the cultivation of mental, physical, and spiritual strength. We are a traditional martial arts school with a modern approach, maintaining the highest standards of loyalty, integrity, and respect.

We have been active members of the Next Evolution family for the past two years. Such a great place to give my child the confidence and discipline he receives with every class. So happy to be part of this great place!

Wonderful martial arts studio. My boys learned so much in such a short amount of time. They’re like a second family.

Shihan Mike Mullero and the staff at Next Evolution are some of the kindest, most generous people you will ever meet. Many children in the neighborhood and from all over NYC benefit from the classes here, and adults of all ages and skill levels will enjoy training and reaching their goals at this dojo.

Great service, great people. My family has been involved since my daughter was 5. She takes BJJ and Karate. Best experience and investment ever.

I love this place, my 11 year old has been going for 3 years now and absolutely loves it. He's exposed to positive role models, from teenagers to adults, and I can hear all the positive affirmations reflective in his everyday conversations. School hasn't been easy for us but Next Evolution and its family has always been in our corner, supporting and backing me up always. It's brought him confidence, maturity, respect and discipline. I'll continue to grow here because it's more than just a class, it's an experience, it's a family, it's love, I'm not sure I can just get that anywhere.
