I signed up our 8 year old son for a week night activity hoping only for some fun and some exercise.Evoke has been the most wonderful experience for us all. In addition to having fun while burning lots of energy, the wonderful team of instructors are also teaching (and expecting) respect, focus and... teamwork. These healthy life lessons are incorporated into every conversation and teaching moment and as a parent, it is wonderful to see a group of children absorbing not only the techniques but the important messages that come with them.Thank you to the great Evoke team for all you do with our children.read more

My children have been coming here for martial arts for four years now and I finally decided to try it out myself. Instructors go above and beyond and are always kind and friendly. My kids are as comfortable with the staff as they would be with our own family.

My daughter had a blast on their March Break Camp! She was excited to show us the self defense moves she learned there and her first kickboxing lesson. The Pizza Party on Friday was so much fun! She will sure be back for their Summer Camp! =)

As parents we have appreciated the rigour and structure of the karate classes for our son. He is learning karate but more than that he is learning how to focus, be polite and follow instructions. I would highly recommend Evoke.

When I first started searching for a martial arts to learn. I was drawn in by the personal connection and warm teaching methods from the staff. Over the years, I realized what I learned is beyond martial arts and self-defense. My personal character and the way I handle life's challenges have forever been... changed. That is something used more often in everyday life and carries forward to every aspect of life.I just really want to add that ALL the staff acts and conducts themselves as a true martial artists inside and outside the dojo. That for me makes me proud to be associated with this family!Edit: post pandemic update. Even better than before! I love the energy here.read more

I have been taking kickboxing and Hapkido self defence classes for almost 2 months now and I have loved the experience so far. The teachers are amazing! They know how to push you while keeping your fitness level in mind. The kickboxing is very intense in a good way. They balance the workouts well. I feel... like I’m working all my muscles over a couple of weeks if classes.Hapkido is a great experience as well. The only downside is there’s one class a week and it can be hard to remember the moves we learn.The fellow evoke members are also wonderful. Everyone is welcoming and the experienced members are generous with their time and knowledge.I feel like my body has drastically improved in this time I’ve been there. Looking forward to continuing this journey with Evoke!read more

I have to say - I think this club, environment and classes are both challenging and invigorating. Tess and the other instructors understand that skills and fitness levels vary - so while encouraging all class participants to push ourselves, they recognize that each person learns at their own pace. Attention... to technique is also important and the instructors will take the time to focus on this without making individuals feel inadequate. For adults looking to increase their fitness or achieve weight goals - in a supportive and non-intimidating environment- Evoke Martial Arts is the place to do it. Highly recommend.read more

Our kids class curriculum is designed around a powerful life-skills foundation and functional martial arts training.
Martial Arts for Kids:
The challenge with many studios offering martial arts for kids in Toronto is that they simply were not organically created with kids in mind.
Evoke cuts through the noise between the different martial arts disciplines – karate, jiujitsu, hapkido, taekwondo, judo, kickboxing, etc.
We focus on the very essence of martial arts for kids – helping them evoke their very best through personal development and achievement.
They learn to be better listeners, self-disciplined, focused, and skilled young martial artists.
I am liking doing the Adult Hapkido class and I have learned so much from the instructors and I feel like I am not only taking a class but that I am part of a family and I highly recommend taking a class. 🤳👍👐🥋

Your child’s uncanning focus, athletic potential, and unshakeable confidence starts here.
My family has been a part of the Evoke family for 6 years and the benefits cannot possibly be counted! I feel incredibly lucky that both of my sons have been learning this martial art since they were 4. It has instilled self value, confidence and a mind body connection that extremely useful in all they do on and off the mats. The instructors take the time to learn about each child. They have created a welcoming learning environment for all who walk in the door.
