Keep up to date with News and Events from Evade:
“I began training with Dave Breed in May 2008, as I had 2 months off from football and decided to make use of this time. I had one to one sessions with Dave on a daily basis which included different forms of Martial arts, weight training, outside hills sprints and general workouts, I found my time at Evade to be extremely beneficial to me as it improved my body, my health and my general well being. I believe all the work myself and Dave accomplished in the time we had has improved my performance as a footballer, it’s given me better agility, co-ordination and great strength, the outcome of which was more than I expected and I can honestly say my experience with Evade is one of great benefit to me!”

"Having travelled the world extensively in the pursuit of achieving my World Titles in martial arts, I have witnessed many centres which are internationally renown for their high class standards and have a reputation around the world as "The Place to Train". I can undoubtedly say that Evade Blackbelt School in my view is up there with these centres if not (in a lot of cases) better.
Sensei Dave Breed is without a doubt one of the most skillful martial artists I have ever met, which adds to why I place this centre up there with the best. The training, discipline, knowledge and positivity I have received here, I not only use in my martial arts career but also take this with me and use it in every aspect of my life.
Evade Blackbelt School is not just training, its an education!
Thank you so much for everything - Its an honour to be taught and to train with you."

"As a martial artist, for the past 22 years, it is safe to say that I know my subject extremely well.
However, as a professional instructor and competitor myself, it is remains vital that I set aside time to continue my own development in the field.
In other words, I still need to switch off and, every now and then, become the student again.
Given my level of experience, there very few people or centres capable of providing the opportunities I require for further learning. Nevertheless, I have found that The EVADE Training Centre, in Hadfield, does meet my needs. The facilities are first class and the in-house instructors have a wealth of knowledge and experience that anyone would benefit from.
On top of this, The Centre regularly hosts seminars with world-class practitioners in a variety of disciplines.
Whatever your goal in martial arts may be – from recreation to self-protection to competition – you should visit EVADE. I cannot recommend it highly enough."

BEGINNERS BEWARE!!!!
If you're a beginner to the martial arts I must warn you about a few things. Most importantly you should know that not all Martial arts schools are created equally, and it is very important that you make an educated decision before picking a school.
Most martial arts schools just throw beginner students to the wolves the first week they have started training. Your start to the martial arts is getting your butt kicked and handed to you by more advanced students. In reality, you might as well start a conditioning program before joining a school because if you're not in shape while attending most schools you're going to have a really hard time. On top of that, one dirty little secret that no one at these schools tell you is that your going to learn whatever the instructor decides to teach that day. I mean in all forms of education, sports progression, or any form of higher learning educators/instructors have very detailed finely tuned curriculums to guarantee that a student learns the required material for their level that they are at. The sad fact is that most martial arts schools don't teach from a curriculum, don't dare ask what you will be learning today, this week, next week, this month or this year, because in all honesty they haven’t clue at all what they are going to teach. This is sad but very true. Fortunately for you, I have the solution and it's one of the reasons why our students are so happy and we have people from all over the country coming to Hadfield to train with EVADE
I’ll Tell You How Evade Is Different From Any other Martial Arts School You’ll Visit In This Area.
When you first come to Evade, one of my friendly staff members will take you through a tour of our entire facility and answer any questions that you may have. We will give you an introduction to our styles of Martial Arts and tell you exactly how to get the most out of our programs.
Next you will be set up to take one of our “Basic Starter Classes”. These classes are geared for our true beginner. You won't have to guess what you'll be learning because we give you a copy of the curriculum for you to take home for your own records. Our beginner Basic Starter Class is taught in a friendly, social and laid back atmosphere that is 100% geared to teaching our new students our core basic requirements at our school.
Don't get me wrong, we do offer advanced classes for the student that wants to bang like a pro, but that's not what our Basic Starter Class is for.
In the very beginning I personally believe that students need to focus heavily on learning their technique instead of trying to learn how to survive in heated sparring matches when they don't know any techniques yet .
We’ve set up three different Martial Arts levels in the school that will appeal to any and everyone.
We have our basic classes for the new student just starting out, for the student that is really out of shape, for the student not interested in sparring or competitions, and the new student that will appreciate being able to learn Martial arts in a non competitive environment.
Then we have our Intermediate and Advanced classes that are extremely demanding and competitive. These are for the students that are interested in taking it to this level .
Many people think because we have the #1 Martial Arts school in the North that everything that we do is geared towards competition.
That's so wrong!
We offer 9 Basic Classes Per Week and have an all levels class that white belts can attend.
That's 44 classes per month 100% geared to the pure beginner. Beginners have classes that they can come to 5 days a week, morning and evening. You won't find that anywhere else.
Evade is 100% geared towards the brand new student walking in off the street and is where you will also see our World Champions, MMA Champions, Muay Thai World Champions and some of the top competitors in the country come train.The best part about it is that the students taking the Basic Classes are learning the exact same techniques and our exclusive Evade training systems that our Champions and Blackbelts are learning.
Evade is unlike any other Martial Arts school you'll ever experience. You'll feel like a special person from the moment you walk into the doors of our academy, you won't believe how friendly my students and staff are. We are a professional training facility in every sense. Go ahead and give our school a try and see for yourself.
