Meet Jas! Born in India, Jas moved to Northern Virginia when he was 9 years old. He graduated from the University of Virginia (U-V-A Go ‘Hoos, Go!) with a degree in International Relations and Affairs. Jas loves living in the DMV, so he moved back after school. He now works full-time for a defense contractor here in Arlington and owns a home services business.
Before joining EvolveAll last year, Jas had never done martial arts before, but he says, “Now I am addicted. I should have started sooner.” Through our All-Inclusive Adult Membership, Jas participates in our Boxing, Striking, and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu programs, focusing on BJJ. Jas is making great progress with his technique. With some experience under his belt, he is working on “not leaving my limbs exposed for potential attacks.” His goal for 2025: “Getting better and Evolving!”
If you see Jas on the mats or in the gym, be sure to say hello.

“This review is from the perspective of someone new to DC and new to martial arts. I tried two other gyms before settling on EvolveAll. There was hardly a contest, in terms of the welcome my roomie and received, as well as the kindness of the staff and owner. I chose a BJJ membership where I have the opportunity to join about three classes per week (as a beginner, more as you grow), access to a weight-lifting space, and free reign to practice rolling when there is a free mat.”
“I started out taking the beginner jiu jitsu class with Emerson, then began attending the striking class with Herill and all-levels jiu jitsu with Cesar. And I’m hooked on it. I’ve had days where I get off work and I feel terrible; I just want to sit on my couch and drink a beer. But I’ll push myself to go to class and I’ll feel a thousand times better afterwards. I learn something new every day, and everyone — instructor and student alike — is super helpful and super nice. I recommend anyone who is interested in checking out a fitness or self-defense class to come by, and you’ll realize the same thing that I’ve realized: Evolve All is about more than just fitness and self-defense — it is a community!”
