I can’t say enough good things about the program and instructors at Evoke. There are other kids martial arts program offered across the city and closer to home, but what Evoke offers here is something I haven’t seen in other programs. They are compassionate and kind in their teachings but yet... expect individuals to focus and give their all. Evoke has built a safe environment for mix martial artists to learn and grow and to build not only their character but their phycological and physical strength. I can’t recommend Evoke enough. Both my girls have been attending since 2019. Thank you Master Dao and to the entire Evoke team & family.read more

I started Hapkido classes several months ago with zero expertise and my experience at Evoke has been incredible! Taking up a new skill or sport especially as an adult can be really intimidating but everyone has been incredibly kind, caring, patient, and supportive. I’ve learned so much, I’ve had so... much fun, I feel a lot stronger and I constantly look forward to my Tuesday and Saturday classes. I highly recommend the classes to anyone who wants to try something new!! A huge shoutout and thank you to everyone at Evoke for their amazing work!! I just got my yellow belt today and I’m so excited to come back in the New Year!!read more

I've been going for kickboxing fitness classes for a few months now and the experience have been amazing. Was not intimidating at all when I first joined, as the instructors have all been very nice and are able to breakdown the workouts into easily digestible steps, without compromising on the... intensity. You will sweat!!!Facilities are clean and the class often comprises of people with varying fitness level. Always a great atmosphere and everyone motivates each other. If you're looking to learn kickboxing, or even try something new while getting into shape, then definitely recommend Evoke.read more

I think it’s a great place for martial arts. The instructors are great and so kind. It’s a great place for birthday parties and summer camp. In general, the place is very clean and the instructors sanitize the mats after every class. The classes are split into age groups, which I think is cool.... It’s a great place to make friends. The bathrooms are clean, the mats are clean and everything is clean. It’s a great place for both adults and children to practice their martial arts.read more

This is by far one of the best kids parties we’ve ever hosted. We have celebrated both of our kids party here. It is an amazing experience for the kids. They are kept active with none stop games and make sure the birthday child is the center of the party! Can’t recommend enough.

I've been a part of Evoke since their teen hapkido program, and as an adult in their fitness kickboxing program and there is truly no other place I'd rather go to. The environment & structure of classes at Evoke is challenging yet rewarding and I leave each class feeling stronger than before.One... of the unique things about Evoke are the way their classes are structured to provide the members with a total body workout, eliminating the need for a traditional gym. I also love how they incorporate deep breathing sessions at the end of certain workouts for a proper cool down and to get in touch with your body and build that muscle-mind connection. I have left certain classes feeling humbled by the combos, which gives me more motivation to keep going back and getting better at the moves.Lastly, my favorite thing about the club are the instructors Miss Tess, Elona and Master Dayo who are exceptional at their jobs. They are supportive, but don't hesitate to push members to their best potential, all the while remaining kind and encouraging. As a result, Evoke has become a happy place for me that I'd recommend everybody to join, despite their fitness goals.read more

My son has been attending classes for just over a month and really enjoys the program; he's asked a few times whether he can increase the number of weekly classes from 2 per week to more. I'm grateful for the combination of physical challenge, focus training, and the short meditation he gets at... the beginning of class. 5 stars.read more

I started at Evoke martial arts a month ago, every class has been a blessing. Instructors are kind, understanding, professional, personable, and essentially everything you can ask for.

I started Hapkido ten years ago as a middle age adult, having never taken any martial art before. While athletic, I had little flexibility and the training that the senior belts were doing looked... impossible. Four years later, with hard work and encouragement, I was awarded my black belt.
I can’t say enough good things about Master Dayo, Miss Tess and the rest of the staff. I can honestly say that they, and the people I’ve trained with along the way, are like family.
Regardless of your age or athletic ability, I encourage you to give Hapkido a try. It is honestly one of the most rewarding things I have ever done.read more

My family has been part of the Evoke community for over 10 years. Not only have my children learned the many skills provided by the Hapkido curriculum, but the classes are led by a remarkable staff... who that incorporate important life lessons.
I can’t say enough about how much my two sons have gained from their many years of studying Hapkido at Evoke Martial Arts. It has helped with their balance, their fitness but more importantly their confidence and the ability to respect themselves and others. I highly recommend Evoke Martial Arts as a place for young and old to study Hapkido, Muay Thai, or kickboxing.read more

I've been at other martial arts schools over the years and THA is by far the best. Master Dayo, Ms. Tess and the other instructors are excellent and help you learn in a relaxed and fun environment. ... My wife, 7 year old son and I all are members and we'll eventually get our 3 year old to become a Lil' Dragon soon.

My son started the Lil Dragons program after doing the summer camp last year. We was 6 and now 7.
In grade 1 he was struggling with academics, anxiety, bullying as well as some other issues....
In September he started the program at Toronto Hapkido on Monday evenings. We immediately saw a change.
8 months later it’s like he’s a different boy!
- he is much happier and more playful
- much less anxiety and improved sleep
- much improved self esteem and confidence
- self motivated to practice at home and even challenged me to a 30 day push up challenge!
- grades went from Ds and Cs to Bs and 4 As!
- he talks to people of all ages with poise and respect
- most importantly his instructors are his new role models. He want to continue Martial Arts and one day be an instructor to future little Dragons
- thank you to the entire team. We owe you so much gratitude and look forward to seeing Maxi continue his journey!
