About Toronto Kids Martial Arts at Evoke

For over 20 years our kids martial arts Toronto program have provided a unique experience that blends martial arts training with essential life skills education in safe, high-energy, and beginner-friendly classes.

Many studios that offer martial arts for kids in Toronto weren't truly designed with children in mind.

At Evoke, we do things differently. Our kids martial arts classes provide age-appropriate lessons that go beyond kicks and punches — we help children grow in confidence, focus, and self-discipline. We use a time tested curriculum that is designed to targets their various emotional, physical, intellectual stages of growth and development.

Instead of getting lost in the confusion of different styles — karate, jiu-jitsu, hapkido, taekwondo, judo, or kickboxing — our lessons blends the most effective elements into a kids martial arts Toronto program built specifically for ages 8 to 12.

Every class is centered around a strong foundation of life skills and functional mixed martial arts training, taught in a way that matches each child's age and stage of development.

The Most Trusted Kids Martial Arts Toronto Program – Top rated for fun, self protection, and life skills education.

Parents consistently tell us how their kids are more respectful, more confident, and better focused after just a few months in our program.

Andrea M.

My son had a great week, I would highly recommend this camp. The staff were professional and did a great job keeping the kids entertained.

Response from the owner:Hi Andrea. Thanks so much for the feedback. We had a lot of fun and happy to hear your son did too. Cheers...

Anna Maria D.

This is the second year my children have attended this camp. The first year they only went for half a day but they loved it so much that they begged to go for a full day this year. Needless to say, they want to go back next year! Thank you to all the staff who made their experience memorable for the past two years, we’ll see you again soon!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Anna Maria. It's so great having your kids back at camp with us again this year. We are happy to hear that they had a great time, and also grateful for the opportunity to share this fun experience with them. See you next year! Many thanks.

Natalia P.

I've had my 2 girls participating on Evoke's Little Dragon Program and strongly recommend it. The instructors are great with children, the classes as fun and engaging and I feel the program is also a strong reinforcement for the children to develop discipline and self-confidence. 5 stars for sure 🙂

Response from the owner:Thanks, Natalia. Our deepest appreciation for the feedback. We're really happy seeing your girls take well to the classes. Many thanks

My son attended a birthday party for 4 year olds recently at Evoke. The 3 instructors leading the party were absolutely phenomenal. I've never been to a party with such enthusiastic and friendly instructors...they really made the event! The space was also so bright and clean. We had an amazing time and plan to enrol in a class soon!

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the feedback, Meghan. We had a lot of fun and are happy to know the kids did too. We look forward to having your family again at our academy. Many thanks.

Professional, clean and friendly staff. I have a closer martial arts academy just facing my house but I prefered this one for the mentioned reasons.
Highly recommended!

Response from the owner:Thanks Lima

Shehrose R.

My 7 year old son loves his martial arts classes at Evoke and looks forward to it every week. I appreciate the high number of instructors to students ratio, the adaptable approach instructors take for the younger students vs older students.

Response from the owner:Thanks, Shehrose. That means so much to us. We are really excited that you're having a great experience and that your son is enjoying their classes. Many thanks

Sienne L.

We recently hosted my 7yo son's birthday party at Evoke. We were blown away by Evoke's hospitality and level of service. All of the kids that attended had a blast playing ninja group games and competing in obstacle courses. We were so impressed by the instructors' enthusiasm, patience, and professionalism. They were also so helpful with party set-up and clean-up. Highly recommend Evoke, and we will most likely be back!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Sienne. We are happy to hear that they kids had a great time at the karate birthday party. It was a lot of fun for us too, and we look forward to him joining us for classes in the future. Many thanks.

Bryan S.

My daughter is 5 years old and loves her classes. Evoke does a wonderful job teaching the kids self defense and life skills to help them excel in life.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Bryan. We are happy to hear your daughter is loving her Lil' Dragon classes. Our deepest appreciation for the feedback. Cheers...

Sophia R.

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!!

Response from the owner:Congratulations on your new belt rank, Sophia. Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback. We look forward to the next phase in your martial arts journey for the New Year. See you on the mats!

Alba B.

I highly recommend Evoke Martial Arts school. My daughters have been training here for a year and they absolutely love it. The instructors are fantastic—supportive and skilled. I've seen my girls gain confidence, discipline, and new friendships. It’s a wonderful place for kids to learn and grow!

Response from the owner:Your girls are amazing! Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback.
