Book a Trial Class

This place is amazing! The teachers explain the techniques very well, and they are very nice too! I am an orange belt, and so far it is going great!

Such a great place to teach your child a martial arts and discipline , I am so lucky and blessed that’s my son goes there.

Our daughter absolutely loves the ‘lil dragons martial arts classes and is always excited to go. She loves the structure, the instructors, and the positive atmosphere. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and genuinely care about the kids. They’ve found a great balance of fun, discipline, and encouragement, and we’ve seen such a positive difference in our daughter’s confidence and skills. We’re so happy we found this program and look forward to watching her continue to grow.

Ms. Tess runs super fun kickboxing classes. Finishing her class feels like a huge accomplishment every time because the workout is so intense! The environment at Evoke is really inclusive and the people there are all wonderful. By far, my favourite way to change up my workout routine and keep things challenging.

If you’re looking for a fun, stress-free place to host your child’s next birthday party, we highly recommend Evoke! We hosted 15 classmates for Tommy’s 6th birthday, and from the moment we arrived, everything was ready to go. The studio was set up with tables, and Mr. Theo and Ms. Layla took charge, keeping the kids engaged the entire time with obstacle courses, ninja challenges, martial arts activities, and nonstop fun. The best part? All we had to provide was the pizza. Evoke handled the setup, activities, and entertainment, making the entire experience incredibly easy for us as parents. The 2-hour party was perfectly organized, with plenty of time for pizza, cake, and celebrating with friends. The highlight for Tommy was getting to break a board at the end of the party! Having the entire studio to ourselves made it feel private, safe, and relaxed for both the kids and parents. We’re so grateful to be part of the Evoke family and thankful for helping make Tommy’s 6th birthday such a special and memorable day. ❤️🥋🎉

My son absolutely loves this studio! It's his second time engaging with martial arts and his first time trying Muay Thai / kickboxing, and he thoroughly enjoys both. Master Dayo, Miss Tess, and all the trainers on site are fantastic. The studio is clean and inviting. The community is also both welcoming and serious. 5 stars!

I’ve been training Muay Thai at Evoke for over a month now, and honestly, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year so far. I originally started with the idea of just releasing energy, but it’s become so much more than that. It’s a full workout, a stress reliever, and a way to train your mind to stay 100% focused even after a long, exhausting day. Somehow, you find energy you didn’t know you had and usually finish feeling amazing. The coaches are highly knowledgeable and genuinely care about your progress. Evoke is a place where you truly feel a strong sense of community. In this short time, I’ve learned something from every person I’ve been paired with. There’s no ego here—just people who genuinely train from the heart. I’ve also made great friends along the way 🙂 thanks yall!

We recently hosted our 6-year-old’s birthday party here. While typical options for kindergarten to early elementary kids are indoor playgrounds or magic shows in party rooms, this was our first time trying a karate-themed birthday party—and it turned out to be an amazing choice. From the planning and booking stage, the staff were always very responsive and patiently answered all of our detailed questions. On the day of the party, we had a mix of slight nervousness and high expectations, but the experience far exceeded them. The staff were energetic, fun, and did an excellent job keeping all the children fully engaged and well organized from start to finish. Within just 10 minutes, my son was completely soaked in sweat from all the excitement, which made everyone laugh. Meanwhile, the adults were able to relax and enjoy coffee while watching everything unfold. Our whole family was extremely happy with the experience, and all of the guests also said it was “the best party ever” and “we want to do it again!” We would highly recommend Evoke’s karate birthday party to anyone who hasn’t tried it yet. It truly exceeded all expectations. Thank you so much for such a memorable day!

I sent my son to the kids camp, and he had so much fun every single day. It was an amazing experience, and I’ll definitely be sending him again to the next camp. Evoke is the best!

We have been members at an Evoke for years now and it has been one of the best decisions our family has ever made. The amount of care and thought that is put into every program makes it clear that this dojo is a labour of love. It is rare to find a program that is well thought out, authentic, challenging and rewarding, and Evoke's Lil' Dragons program is just that. The children aren't just learning martial arts, they are learning life skills. Each lesson is imbued with the pillars of discipline and respect that are essential not only to a successful martial arts practice, but also to living life with integrity even when they get off the mat. The instructors are experts at bringing out the best in the kids, while emphasizing accountability and rewarding progress. We are so lucky to have such an ethical and ambitious dojo in our community, and our children's lives have been so enriched as a result. Evoke is truly a rare gem. Thank you so much to all the instructors who make the Evoke team #1. You guys rock, thanks for doing what you do!

We sent our 2 boys for a week of summer camp and they really had a blast. They really enjoyed learning new moves and all of the staff were super nice! Thank you!

I sent my child to Evoke’s kids camp, and they absolutely loved it!😍 The teachers take great care of each child and give them lots of individual attention.👍🏻 With a variety of programs and fun activities, my child had an amazing time. Highly recommend!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Both of our kids joined Evoke Little Dragons at age 5, and it has been an incredible experience for our family. Through martial arts, they’ve learned discipline, focus, and commitment, but even more importantly, kindness, respect, and resilience. Each class begins with a character trait of the week, which sets the tone and helps kids practice these values in a fun, meaningful way. The instructors are skilled, patient, and engaging, making every lesson enjoyable and educational. Beyond just martial arts, Evoke is a supportive community where kids grow not only physically but also emotionally and socially. We’re so grateful to be part of it!

My kids love coming, and teaches them focus, self control and self defence in a fun engaging environment.

Been about 15 years now of both Fitness Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Some of the little Dragons from way back are adults now, and kicking my butt:) (sometimes...lol). It's a respectful and good vibe atmosphere. I recommend this club no matter how old you are, or what level you are. I plan on retiring my gloves when I'm 80 or when they tell me I no longer know my right from my left anymore. Whatever comes first. See you on the mat.

I took a fitness kickboxing class here and from the sign-up through to the actual class, I had a great experience. The team is great with communication and set very clear expectations on what to expect at the studio. The facility is clean and I feel that there is a good emphasis on respect, community and challenging yourself. There's a lot of encouragement. The studio runs some classes for kids at the same time (but a separate section) as adult classes which is pretty convenient. There is street parking in front of the studio and other parking lots close by. The studio is on an upper level so there are stairs involved.

I signed up my son for a trial this past summer after trying several other martial arts programs around the city. After one trial class my son was committed to return - a naturally shy boy, my son really took a liking to the large bright space and reasonable sized classes. Evoke is truly a community that pushes growth in their discipline, respect for others and overall fun and learning.

I’ve been a member of Evoke Martial Arts on and off for the past 8 years, and it’s truly so much more than a place to train, it’s a sanctuary. From the moment I walk through the doors, I feel at home. Stepping onto the mats both grounds and energizes me, no matter what kind of day I’m having. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, disciplined, kind, and deeply empathetic. Over the years, they’ve become like family. What really sets Evoke apart is the culture, there are no egos here. Everyone, from beginners to advanced students, shows up with a true beginner’s mindset, which makes the space feel welcoming and safe. Some days are strong, others are challenging, but the respect and encouragement are always the same. I’ve never felt judged, only supported. I would recommend Evoke to anyone looking for a great workout, a meaningful challenge, and a place where you can learn at your own pace, regardless of your fitness level or experience. It’s also a fantastic place to have fun, release stress, and enjoy some great music while hitting the pads. Over the years, I trained Muay Thai and Hapkido 3–4 times a week, and more recently I’ve shifted into kickboxing classes 1-2 times per week, which align better with my current fitness and wellbeing goals. I appreciate that Evoke offers flexibility and supports members wherever they are in their journey. If you’re new to martial arts or returning after time away this is a place where you’ll feel welcome, challenged, and genuinely cared for. I cannot recommend Evoke enough.

I have been a part of Evoke's Hapkido classes for 10+ years now. In that time, the passion for the art that the instructors have has been transferred to me. As I trained, I have continued to love my time on the mats tackling new challenges and pushing myself; both mentally and physically. The instructors are always encouraging and give useful feedback to help my skills develop. Furthermore, the facilities are incredible too. There are washrooms, changerooms, two big mat areas and the best part, everything is super clean. The other students in the classes are also wonderful, always kind and helpful, willing to work through challenges together. Master Dayo and Ms Tess have fostered not just a wonderful martial arts environment but more importantly a wonderful community I am lucky to call a second family.

I took adult kickboxing lessons with 2 different instructors....they are amazing and I really liked the way they encouraged me, strict but enjoyable. It is a great way of releasing stress and building up your body!

Love this class - have my 4 year old son enrolled and it teaches more than just martial arts, it teaches etiquette, respect and life lessons as well as boosting confidence. A nice clean and bright facility, awesome instructors and a family atmosphere.

Great place with great instructors. My 10 year old daughter loves it here.

The space was perfect for my 7-year-old's BD party, and all the moms were so impressed! The entertainers were amazing—kept the kids happy and engaged. Everything was professional, fun, and well-organized. Highly recommend Evoke team for a truly stress-free, memorable party!

Evoke is amazing. The personnel is always very friendly and helpful! I would totally recommend it for anyone who would like to try martial arts classes!

My daughter has been attending classes here for the past year and is loving it. The instructors are great and very welcoming! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a spot in Toronto for their children to learn/practice martial arts! We also recently hosted her birthday party here and it was a huge hit with all of the kids! 10/10!
