Evoke’s game-changing self defense classes deliver functional, safe, fun, and modern martial arts training with a touch of tradition.

Cutting-edge training that creatively incorporate elements of
grappling, striking, takedowns, and ground fighting
into a cohesive self defense martial art.

Have been going here for the Muay Thai classes. The team is absolutely amazing!!! Very supportive, provide clear instructions and help for the classes, friendly and kind, and know you by name which I believe shows how much they care. The place itself is very clean, bright, and overall suitable for the classes. I do a biweekly membership and it's definitely worth it if you can go consistently, otherwise they offer class packages too. I really enjoy going here and would recommend anyone considering a place to join here!

A functional, fun, and safety-first approach is at the core of all of Evoke’s martial arts classes.

Evoke Self Defense:

Our self defense program caters to adults who are looking to enjoy exciting, realistic, and safe training with a dose of tradition.

Needless to say our training culture is not forged by tough gals and guys 🙂

We challenge the martial arts stereotypes by cutting through the noise of outdated rituals or cage fighting gladiators to get to the very essence of martial arts training – helping you unleash a better version of you.

Evokes self defense classes are for the everyday martial arts athlete interested in challenging their physical and mental limits.

It is a great way to “test-drive” Evoke’s self defense classes to see how we are a good fit for you.

Yes there will!

Our martial arts fam is ever growing with new members joining all the time.

Evoke’s sessions are beginner friendly and your training is organized to be progressively challenging; so you can go at your own pace.

Not quite.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) and mixed martial arts (MMA) are really popular now. But there is more to them than self defense buzz words.

Although Hapkido is a Jiu Jitsu type martial art that is Korean, the techniques differ in focus. It has its roots from Japan, and shares similar techniques to what is seen in today’s mixed martial arts training.

So, you will be learning striking, takedowns, ground submissions in your classes.

But, to be clear – we are not an “mma school” 😉

Evoke offers a variety of membership options & payment plans with some starting around $30 per week.

Your first step is to start with a trial.

It’s important to us that you enjoy your class, consider it beneficial, and find us to be a good fit for you.

Yes. Sparring is integral and important tool in gaining proficient self protection skills.

However new students are not sparring from the get go.

Our beginner class, for example, focus on basic escapes, conditioning, submission concepts, and fundamentals.

There are separate intermediate and advance classes for members interested in sparring training.

We don’t either; and No!

Getting beat up or shown up is something you will never have to worry about at Evoke.

Training at Evoke has been a truly wonderful experience. As an adult engaging in martial arts for the first time, the environment has been ideal. All of the instructors have been motivating, knowledgeable, and supportive. The classes offer a great workout and a chance to feel a little bit badass. I look forward to continuing the journey!
