About Kids Martial Arts Toronto Classes at Evoke Martial Arts Academy:

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. With our kids martial arts Toronto classes we use a time tested age-appropriate curriculum that is designed to target their various emotional, physical, and intellectual stages of 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 is relevant to their age and abilities.

Michael.

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.

Response from the owner:Thanks, Michael. We are also thrilled that your son took well to our classes. Your encouraging feedback is much appreciated. Cheers.

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.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Reilly. They are so proud of you too. We appreciate your kind words and feedback. Its an honor to be a part of your journey since those Lil' Dragon days 🙂 Your consistency and commitment is really an inspiration to others. See you on the mats.

Response from the owner:Thank you.

Very fun. A/C is great and since I have asthma, it makes it easier to catch my breath. Instructors are so kind and helpful. The classes are just challenging enough to get through while resetting from the day and motivates me to work towards improving something each time. I like how they DON’T pressure you into membership commitments right away with vague sales tactics. It was actually recommended to start a class pack to build a routine before committing to a membership plan. And yes I will be getting a membership.

Response from the owner:Thank you 🙂
