TORONTO SELF DEFENSE CLASSES AT EVOKE MARTIAL ARTS:

Did you take martial arts when younger but were unable to continue? Or maybe it’s something you have always wanted to do but couldn’t find the right fit. We’ve got you covered.

Our Toronto self defense program caters to adults who are looking to push their physical limits, while enjoying an eclectic martial art with a dose of tradition.

We challenge popular martial arts stereotypes by cutting through the noise of outdated rituals or cage fighting gladiators to get to the very essence of martial arts and self defense training – helping you unleash a better version of you.

The martial art we teach is Hapkido – a Korean system of self defense that originated from Jiu-jitsu. It offers cutting-edge training that creatively incorporate elements of grappling, striking, takedowns, and ground fighting into a cohesive self defense martial art.

Evoke’s Toronto Self Defense Classes Offer Fun, Functional, And Modern Martial Arts Training…  With A Touch Of Tradition.

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.

Words can’t even describe how amazing evoke is. I have been doing the kickboxing classes for one month now and it has made me feel so strong in my body and mind. I have had the pleasure so far of being in a class with coach Alec, coach Tess, and Coach Elona and they are all amazing instructors. They really go above and beyond. Every class is challenging but so rewarding. Thank you!

I joined Evoke kickboxing after a 15 year break. This program is wonderful. Miss Tess and her instructors are great, guiding you through the techniques and fitness workouts. They are very welcoming to new people taking the classes for the first time. They do not pressure you for a membership after your trial classes which is a testament to their core values. However, if you do decide to continue your fitness journey with Miss Tess and team, you will not regret it. All ages (adults) are welcome (I am 58) and you will never feel out of place.

ABOUT EVOKE’S TORONTO SELF DEFENSE CLASSES:

Needless to say although our training culture is not forged by “tough gals and guys”, these Toronto self defense classes are designed for the everyday adult athlete interested in challenging their physical and mental limits through the power of martial arts.

Since 2005, we have been the city’s premiere Hapkido school; offering lessons with a community-like vibe, and taught by expert martial arts instructors.

Using our time-tested curriculum, your workouts are progressive, safe, and a ton of fun. A functional, fun, and safety-first approach is at the core of all of our Toronto martial arts classes.

Whether you are new to this, or looking to get back into martial arts training; we’ve got you covered.

The lessons are taught in a neat, clean facility with two generous training areas with padded flooring and top-of-the-line equipment.

Self Defense FAQ:

Sure you can! Click the trial button get started with our starter pack.

We offer a 2-class trial promotion to start.

It is a great way to “test-drive” our Toronto 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 $40 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.

Oh… yes!

Women make up a good size of members and even our instructor team.

Evoke Martial Arts is a community-hub with a training environment that is family-like, inclusive, and not gender dominated.

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.

Click here if you wish to learn more about Evoke’s sparring system.

We don’t either; and No!

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

We honour in traditional values of mutual respect and humility. Our classes are designed for functionality while ensuring an emphatic awareness for members’ safety and well-being.

We recently have had to restrict spectators out of respect for the privacy of our members.

None-the-less, we are happy to schedule a visit – off hours – to check out the school, and assist with any questions you may have.

If you are perhaps simply curious about seeing our Toronto self defense classes in action, we have lots of class footage on our social media channels – @Evoke.Ma
