ffejk · 02-09-2012, 09:26 PM

A new MMA academy will be opening in Toronto on April 2, 2012. The academy will be the home of Evolucao Thai. The gym will be located at Lansdowne and Bloor.

For those who dont know of Evolucao Thai, it was the team created by Andre "Dida" and Mauricio "Veio" formerly of Chute Boxe and UDL. They were trainers and training partners for the likes of Shogun Rua, Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva, Fabricio Werdum etc....

It will be a great opportunity to train w top notch trainers in a great facility.

The head instructor for Muay Thai, boxing and MMA will be Mauricio Veio. BJJ (Gi/No Gi) will be Fernando Vieira.

Here is a clip of the renovations being made to the gym.

If you have any questions, feel free to msg me.

This looks legit with some world class trainers back when Chute Boxe dominated Pride. If I didn't already train at Xtreme Couture I would check it out. Maybe after my membership is done.

This sounds fantastic. There are a number of quality gyms in Toronto, I'd love to give this one a try.

Come on by and take a look. There are some classes in the evening before the official opening. Mauricio and Fernando are great coaches. Mauricio was a part owner and coach at UDL and also fought and coached under the famous Chute Boxe academy. Fernando was the BJJ coach at UDL, a 3x world champion, and a Brazilian national champion.
