Evoke Martial Arts & Kickboxing: Opinions
Fantastic experience: 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 :)
Thanks, Natalia. Our deepest appreciation for the feedback. We're really happy seeing your girls take well to the classes. Many thanks
Fantastic experience: 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!
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.
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thanks Lima

Aww. Thanks, Bill. We really appreciate the feedback. So happy to know that you are loving our classes. Many thanks
Fantastic experience: 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.
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
Fantastic experience: I came across Evoke through a Google search. We are not in the area but can easily drive within 30 mins. I chose Evoke because of what their core principles are, the array of disciplines offered, the ease of starting at any point (my teens were both beginners) and the added benefits of what it is like to become apart of a chosen family. We chose the teen MMA and kickboxing class. My teen girls were hooked after their complimentary session! I have already seen an increase in their confidence and self-esteem. The highly skilled staff at Evoke are very approachable and make you feel right at home. I absolutely recommend this program for all teens.
Thanks so much, Susan. We are really happy to hear that your girls are taking well to our teen martial arts classes. They are doing really great, and we are excited to see the progress they are making. Thanks again for choosing us to share this amazing journey with your family. Cheers..
Fantastic experience: 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!
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.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the fitness kickboxing classes for just over a month now and I’ve been really enjoying it! It is such a great dynamic workout that includes both cardiovascular and strength training. The instructors are all amazing here too! You will get a lot out of these classes!
Thanks, Steph. We're happy to know you're enjoying the kickboxing classes, and sincerely appreciate your feedback. Thanks for being awesome. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending the fitness kickboxing classes here and it’s been a blast. I was looking for something challenging and these classes are exactly what I needed. They combine resistance training with cardio and plyometrics. Overall, the classes are super well rounded and I leave every class feeling worked. I highly recommend trying these classes out.
Thanks, Michelle. We're happy to hear you're loving the kickboxing classes. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you, Bryan. We are happy to hear your daughter is loving her Lil' Dragon classes. Our deepest appreciation for the feedback. Cheers...
Fantastic experience: I joined Evoke MA (KB class) last summer. It was just to try since their location is too far from my home, I thought. After the KB trial classes, I started to attend once a week...then twice. Now, I show up 3 times a week. The classes are so full of energy and you mix that with fun and motivating instructors, who would not come back for more :). I would recommend the class to anyone who is looking for a good work out in a fun environment with no judgement.
Thanks, Jo! It's so great to have you in our kickboxing classes. We really appreciate your kind words and feedback. See you on the mats! Cheers...
Fantastic experience: Evoke is a wonderful community of practice. They are a family, provide guidance, support and care while they teach martial arts. They are more than just a place to take classes. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Brian. We sincerely appreciate your kind feedback. Happy to have you as a part of our martial arts community.
Fantastic experience: 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!!
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!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Your girls are amazing! Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been attending classes here for the past two months and is loving it. The instructors are great very welcoming! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a spot for the children to learn/practice martial arts!
Thanks, Isaac. We are happy to hear that she's loving her Lil' Dragon Karate classes.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thanks Hania. It's hard to believe its been this many years already. We still remember your first teen martial arts class :) It is so great to have you be a part of our adult kickboxing family. Thanks so much for the kind words and positive feedback. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: I don't have enough good things to say about Evoke. The teachers and students are incredibly inclusive and kind. Every teacher has a genuine care for your improvement and goals. Overall Evoke has been a great experience so far and I constantly stay excited for my next class.
Thanks, Annabelle. We sincerely appreciate the feedback, and excited to know you're enjoying the teen martial arts classes. You're doing great, and we are so proud of your progress. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: 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. Despite the fact I am a beginner, and my less than great attendance, I still enjoy class and retain a sense of belonging. I’m extremely thankful that I can be a part of such a great community. I would strongly recommend this establishment for anyone interested in fitness and/or martial arts.

Thanks, Mari. We are also really happy to have you with us. Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback.
Fantastic experience: Evoke martial arts is a great place to start a martial art, I just joined a month ago and everyone is so kind, welcoming and accommodating. The teachers are great and amazing at their jobs. And overall it’s just a great place, I already feel like I have learned and understood a lot about hapkido.

Fantastic experience: Work on your cardio, increase your heart health AND learn practical applications with respect to self defence/offence and discipline. Multiple class offerings to suit your goals and schedule. A warm team building atmosphere and a sense of welcome will keep you inspired to show up to class. Watching your body transform into a lean fit fighting machine as the training days go by will motivate you to achieve more in all aspects of life. Instructors are amazing and inspiring.

Fantastic experience: My almost 9 yo had such a great time at Evoke summer camp in August. They were good at keeping kids busy and my kid was so excited to show us new martial arts skills everyday. Drop off and pick up were also very smooth and efficient, and all staffs were professional and welcoming. We Will definitely come back next summer.
Thanks, Connie. We're happy to hear they had a great time at summer camp. It was lot of fun, and we look forward to having them back again next year. Many thanks!

Thanks, Sahar.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thanks, Roma. We're really happy to know your child enjoyed their summer camp experience. Being neat, clean, and making our environment better is one of our company's operational core values ;) Thanks for the positive feedback. You inspire us to keep doing our best. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thanks so much for the feedback, Maisie. We're happy to know you're enjoying the kickboxing experience at Evoke. Stay awesome! Cheers...

Fantastic experience: My daughter had an amazing time during March break. She loved the obstacle courses, the mission impossible race, and the pizza party.

Thank you Evoke Martial Arts & Kickboxing for everything!
Thanks Anca. March Break camp was a lot of fun and we're happy that your child had a great time. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thanks, Susan. We are really happy to hear that your son is enjoying the kids hapkido classes and taking well to it. He's doing great, and we feel so honoured taking this journey with him. Many thanks!

Fantastic experience: My son has been attending Evoke for approximately 2 months. Evoke is awesome! I would recommend sending your child to Evoke. The instructors are caring and provide an environment for learning, discipline and respect.
Thanks, Don. We're really happy that you son is taking well to his classes.
Fantastic experience: Hi praise for the wonderful team at Evoke. My 7 year old daughter loves the Little Dragon program and is exited to go to every single class. It's incredible to see the added boost in her confidence and focus in such a short period of time. Special events, such as the parent's night out, was also a fun and exciting time for the kids and certainly appreciated by the parents.
Thanks Andrew. We are grateful for the feedback and so happy that your daughter loves our Lil' Dragon classes. Many thanks
Fantastic experience: I know the place for about nine years. Somehow I missed to leave a review earlier! My kids going there learned patience, respect, social skills in addition to their martial art techniques. They gained self confidence and experienced deep friendships. Our lives were much easier when it came to teenage emotions!
Thanks, Arash. We remember your son as a toddler sitting in his stroller watching his sister :) He is now a big kid rocking it in the kids classes. We appreciate your continued support and encouragement. Thanks again for being a part of our martial arts family. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thanks so much for sharing your child's special day with us. We had a lot of fun and happy to know that the kids did too. Cheers...
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thanks Amy. Your girls are doing really grate and we are honoured and excited to be a part of their growth and martial arts journey. We appreciate you being a part of our martial arts family. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: The workouts are intense and effective. The instructors are skilled, offering clear instructions and individualized attention. The gym’s focus on technique ensures a challenging yet safe environment. My fitness has improved noticeably, and I appreciate the supportive community that encourages everyone to achieve their goals.
Thanks, Ricardo. We are thrilled to have you join our fitness kickboxing community. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: We love this program! All the staff is super-friendly and knowledgeable. Besides burning a lot of energy, our son is quickly improving his self-esteem and self-regulation. The keywords and actions they work on, like patience and discipline, are very helpful. Thank you Evoke Team!
Thanks Jean. We are happy to hear your little one is taking well to their Lil' Dragon karate classes. Welcome again to the Evoke family.
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Evoke Martial Arts for a month and am so grateful for the experience! The team's genuine care and welcoming attitude make learning martial arts less intimidating and more enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking to improve their physical and mental well-being.
Thanks for the feedback, Patricia. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying the experience and thrilled to have you as a part of our martial arts family. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of participating in the kickboxing lessons, and I must say it was an absolutely exhilarating experience! From start to finish, every aspect of the session exceeded my expectations, leaving me feeling both physically and mentally empowered. Here's why I would wholeheartedly give it a 5.0 rating: 1. Expert Instruction: The kickboxing lesson was led by 2 highly skilled and knowledgeable instructors who demonstrated exceptional expertise in the art of kickboxing. Their ability to break down complex techniques into digestible steps made it easy for beginners like me to grasp the fundamentals quickly. Their constant guidance and encouragement throughout the session helped me improve my technique and push my limits.
Thanks, Lawrence. We're are grateful for the feedback, and happy to know you're enjoying Evoke's fitness kickboxing classes. See you on that mats!
Fantastic experience: My son attended the Hapkido classes for a short time here. Unfortunately, we are moving very soon and he is not able to attend anymore. In these few weeks, he has learned so much that he is determined to continue with martial arts and Hapkido. He loved being in Evoke Martial Arts School with his new friends and instructors. Besides physical strength, he also started learning discipline. As parents, we liked being able to attend and watch the classes, feeling much like being a part of the family. Thanks for everything one more time.
Thanks so much for the feedback. It's been great having your child in our classes, and we're going to miss you all.
Fantastic experience: I cannot imagine my son’s childhood without his classes at Evoke. The best thing we could have done for him as parents is register him for the martial arts programme at this amazing place. He goes twice a week and has made incredible friendships, while learning the values of discipline, teamwork, commitment, focus and hard work. We see the benefits with every single class. Even the summer camp programme is exemplary. Truly this place is one of the highlights of living in the area. Well done Evoke for caring about your Little Dragons so much.
Thanks, Hala. We are truly grateful for allowing us to be a part of his childhood experience. Thanks again for your consistency and support for his success in our kids programs.
Fantastic experience: Have been going here for the Muay Thai classes. The team is absolutely amazing!!! Very supportive, provide clear instructions and help for the classes, friendly and kind, and know you by name which I believe shows how much they care. The place itself is very clean, bright, and overall suitable for the classes. I do a biweekly membership and it's definitely worth it if you can go consistently, otherwise they offer class packages too. I really enjoy going here and would recommend anyone considering a place to join here!
Thanks so much for the kind words and feeback. It's been great having you in our muay thai classes. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending for a little over a month and I have enjoyed every kickboxing class. Everyone is really kind and encourages you to always do your best.
Thanks, Rebecca. You're doing great, and we're so excited to have you join our kickboxing fam. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing no matter what you choose: from kids martial arts classes and camps to adults classes. Always attentive approach and lots of support! Thank you!
Thanks Natalia. We're super excited that you've also joined in our adult muay thai and fitness kickboxing classes. Now you and your little one can practice your ninja moves together:)
Fantastic experience: Best birthday party here at Evoke!!!! We celebrated our daughter’s 12th birthday at Evoke and everyone really enjoyed the party! Guest comment during the party: “Wow we have never attended a martial arts birthday before. This is super fun and our children are really enjoying the activities.” It was a very well planned party with super fun activities and all of this arranged by Evoke! As parents we were really relaxed as everything was managed by Evoke staff. My daughter’s friends really enjoyed all the activities and everyone at the party was engaged throughout the 2 hours. Time management was excellent, everything was ready when we arrived. Best birthday party experience. Highly recommend!! My daughter also attends the Hapkido Kidz class at Evoke! When she first started, it was really challenging for her. But the teachers at Evoke were so encouraging and supportive that very soon she started getting comfortable in her classes. We are really happy seeing her progress and really appreciate the staff at Evoke! Thank you so much for your wonderful lessons and teaching these important life skills with so much determination! Highly recommend their classes!
Thanks so much for the feedback! We are really greatful, and happy to know they had a great time at the birthday party.
Fantastic experience: After attending the first of 2 kickboxing trial classes at Evoke, I felt so good that I decided to sign up right away! I am not a person who is motivated at a regular gym without instruction. Here, the academy and the instructors have such good, positive energy. They understand your endurance levels and tell you to put in as much effort as you can while also making sure to gently encourage you to test and push your limit each time. I saw results in just 3 classes in being able to hold my plank longer than my first class. Love that every class focuses on improving kickboxing technique and has different combos and burnouts. In my 5 weeks here my endurance, fitness levels and breathing has improved. Also happy that my sciatica that used to affect me often while walking, had completely gone away in less than 2 weeks. I should mention that they take the time to personally check in via text to see if you’re ok when you miss a class. The camaraderie is instant here amongst members and staff. :) Thanks, team, for being so wonderful!
Thanks so much for sharing Anjana. We are truly grateful for giving us a try and happy to know you're seeing encouraging results from the classes. Many thanks.
Positive experience: I recently had the opportunity to attend a kickboxing lesson at Evoke Martial Arts and I must say, it was an outstanding experience. The class was held on early May and took place in a clean and well-maintained training area. The highlight of the lesson was undoubtedly the coach. They were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to guide us through various kickboxing combos. Their teaching style was effective, as they explained each technique clearly and demonstrated it with precision. I particularly appreciated their willingness to provide individual attention and personalized feedback, ensuring that every participant understood and executed the techniques correctly. The class had a great atmosphere, with a diverse group of participants who were enthusiastic and motivated. The energy level was high, creating an encouraging and supportive environment. It was evident that the coach fostered a sense of camaraderie among the students, which made the lesson even more enjoyable. In terms of the workout, the kickboxing lesson provided an excellent physical challenge. The coach incorporated a variety of exercises to warm us up and stretch our muscles before delving into the techniques. The cardio component was intense, offering a fantastic opportunity to improve endurance and burn calories. I have been so impressed with my experience that I have already recommended this kickboxing lesson to many of my friends. If you're looking to learn kickboxing in a supportive and engaging environment, I highly recommend giving this class a try. The coach's expertise, combined with the well-maintained facilities and the positive atmosphere, make it an exceptional choice for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. In conclusion, my kickboxing lesson at Evoke Martial Arts exceeded my expectations. The patient and knowledgeable coach, combined with the energetic class atmosphere, created an environment that was both enjoyable and conducive to learning. I highly recommend this kickboxing lesson to anyone interested in improving their skills and overall fitness. Thank you to the coach and the staff for providing such a fantastic experience!

Thanks, Keisha. We're excited to have you join our muay thai family. Many thanks for the kind words and feedback.
Fantastic experience: I joined Evoke almost 2 months ago and I’m really enjoying it! The teachers are attentive to each student and make you feel empowered to get through each tough workout. I have a Shotokan Karate background and have been quite out of shape so I was looking for something where I could use my passion for martial arts but also get my body back in shape and Evoke is the perfect place for that. I’m very happy I joined and highly recommend it! If you’re scared or shy, try one class and I’m sure you’ll be back again!
Thanks for this, Doris. You are amazing, and we're truly happy to know you're loving the fitness kickboxing classes. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: I am so happy with my decision to join the kickboxing fitness class. Very warm and friendly atmosphere. I love how fun, challenging and productive workouts are. Highly recommended.
Thanks, Daniella. You are doing really great in your kickboxingh classes, and we are excited to hear that you're enjoying it. Thanks for the feedback. See you in class.
Fantastic experience: Evoke is a wonderful space for my 10 and 15 year olds. Leia is always looking forward to her Hapkido practices and is a big fan of her instructors. Amir loves the Muay Thai classes. The environment at Evoke is the perfect combination of supportive and disciplined. I highly recommend Evoke to anyone who is looking for a great martial arts studio.

Thanks, Nas. It's wonderful having your family at Evoke and we're really happy that the kids are enjoying a great experience with their martial arts classes. Thank you so much for the feedback.
Fantastic experience: My son enjoys attending the Little Dragon class very much. Instructors do a good job helping children to concentrate and exercise happily. The classes are fun, educational and nurture discipline. The studio is always clean and comfortable with good ventilation. I would highly recommend Evoke!!
Thanks so much for the feedback. Your son is doing great in our kids karate classes and we look forward to seeing him move up to the hapkido kidz group. Thanks so much for your kind words and feedback. See you in class.
Fantastic experience: We signed up our 4 year old daughter in karate class at Evoke because we had heard great things about it from other families in our neighbourhood. We are so glad that we did! She loves her classes and we value how much she’s being empowered. In addition to learning martial arts, they always talk about values - this month the topic is Honesty: “Being honest means telling and showing the truth” We can’t recommend Evoke enough, it has been such a positive experience for our daughter and our family.
Thanks so much for the feedback, Bibian. Your little one is doing really well in the program and we are so proud of how well she is taking to her Lil Dragons classes. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to share this experience with her.
Fantastic experience: I am new to Kickboxing and the classes are beginner friendly and a lot of FUN. I have been very impressed with the professionalism, family vibe, and positive energy! I highly recommend Evoke Martial Arts & Kickboxing. You will love it!
Thanks Elizabeth. We are grateful and happy to hear that you're loving the kickboxing classes.
Fantastic experience: My 4 year old enjoys attending little dragons here. Their lessons are age appropriate, educational, and he has fun learning.
Thanks for the feedback, Liz. We're really happy to hear that you litle one is enjoying the classes. Thanks again for enrolling them in our kids karate program.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Fitness Kickboxing session for over a month now. I must say, it has been an amazing experience. The trainer is very experienced and always motivate to push yourself to the limit.
Thanks, Geet for your kind words and feedback. We're happy to know you're enjoying your kickboxing classes. We're also proud to see how much you're improving and seeing results. Keep it up. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: As parents we have appreciated the rigour and structure of the karate classes for our son. He is learning karate but more than that he is learning how to focus, be polite and follow instructions. I would highly recommend Evoke.
Thanks, Britney. We are so happy seeing how well your little one is taking to the classes. Many thanks.
Positive experience: I have to say - I think this club, environment and classes are both challenging and invigorating. Tess and the other instructors understand that skills and fitness levels vary - so while encouraging all class participants to push ourselves, they recognize that each person learns at their own pace. Attention to technique is also important and the instructors will take the time to focus on this without making individuals feel inadequate. For adults looking to increase their fitness or achieve weight goals - in a supportive and non-intimidating environment- Evoke Martial Arts is the place to do it. Highly recommend.
Thanks Roselle. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and kind words. Happy to know you're loving the classes.
Fantastic experience: I joined Evoke in August as I was starting my journey to become healthier (both mental and physical). I have been going regularly to the kickboxing classes since then and I really enjoy it. The classes are very good workouts and I feel that I am getting stronger. Everybody is very welcoming and nice. The app make it easy to sign up for classes and they provide both gloves and hand wraps with a membership. Overall I am very happy that I joined evoke and can't wait for my next kickboxing class!
Thanks, Ambre. You're doing great and we're so proud of you. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: Joining fitness kickboxing class at this gym was a good choice! Tess is a great trainer, the gym is clean and nicely temperature controlled.
Thank you, Miki. So great having you in our fitness kickboxing classes.
Fantastic experience: Our kids had a blast at Evoke’s Martial Arts & Kickboxing! I wasn’t sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised at how organized and attentive the staff were. It was a great experience from beginning to end. I wish they providing lunch and snacks to make it easier for us parents but they did have pizza lunch on the last day which was nice. I would highly recommend enrolling your kids in this camp! My kids will definitely be back!
Thanks Jessica. We are happy to hear they enjoyed their time at summer camp and really appreciate your feedback. We look forward to having them again. Many thanks
Fantastic experience: I have been attending the Fitness Kickboxing classes at Evoke for about three month now and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I always feel empowered while getting in a fantastic workout and feel encouraged with skilled, enthusiastic instructors and all the other welcoming participants. I am truly grateful I gave these classes a try and always look forward to going, refining my skills and becoming more confident each and every time!
Thank you, Ariella. You're doing great and we're so happy to have you in classes with us.
Fantastic experience: I have been taking kickboxing and Hapkido self defence classes for almost 2 months now and I have loved the experience so far. The teachers are amazing! They know how to push you while keeping your fitness level in mind. The kickboxing is very intense in a good way. They balance the workouts well. I feel like I’m working all my muscles over a couple of weeks if classes. Hapkido is a great experience as well. The only downside is there’s one class a week and it can be hard to remember the moves we learn. The fellow evoke members are also wonderful. Everyone is welcoming and the experienced members are generous with their time and knowledge. I feel like my body has drastically improved in this time I’ve been there. Looking forward to continuing this journey with Evoke!
Thanks for the feedback, David. You're doing really great, and we're happy to know you're loving it. We're also adding more weekday classes for hapkido now that things are getting back to normal. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: I restarted my journey of Martial Arts with Evoke this spring. It’s one of the best places in Toronto for learning a variety of Martial Arts. The coaches teach authentic practices and I just love going there.
We are so happy to have you join our kickboxing fam! Thanks for the kind words and feedback. See you in class!
Fantastic experience: I started at Evoke MA Muay Thai classes around 2 months ago and I love learning the techniques and movements. The staff and students are great and nice people, and instructors helping me be better every day!! A great place to be and hangout, great instructors. A great place to learn and study martial arts.
You're doing great, Ivan. We are happy to know you are loving our muay Thai classes. Thanks so much for the feedback. See you in class.
Fantastic experience: I love it here. They always make you feel so welcome and comfortable. They always push you to do your best and not in an intimidating way either. I always leave feeling like it was a successful class.
We are so happy to have you back, Michelle. Thanks for the kind words. See you in class!
Fantastic experience: I recently started the fitness kickboxing class. Originally I am not a sports type of person. However, I am loving the class and found myself looking forward to my classes after getting off work. I believe starting fitness kickboxing was one of the best decisions I made in the year 2022! It is a great class to freshen up as well as to enhance physical strength Those who are looking to try out something new regarding sports classes, this would be a perfect fit for you
Thanks, Shinyoung. We're so happy have you. You're doing great in your classes. Welcome to the Evoke family.
Fantastic experience: I love the trainers, the staffs, and the trainees at Evoke Martial Arts. The trainers are always full of energy and encourages myself and the trainees to try our best in each class. The staffs are friendly and are there to help us with any questions we have regarding class, etc. Overall, Evoke Martial Arts holds a welcoming atmosphere where one could feel comfortable.
Thank so much your kind words and feedback. We are honored you chose us for your workouts. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Evoke’s kickboxing classes for a few sessions so far. I have enjoyed coming in every time. The instructors are both highly personable and knowledgeable, plus they make a great effort to make everyone feel included and challenged in the best way. I had never considered a martial art previously, and I’m very glad I chose Evoke! I’m looking forward to integrating kickboxing into my health and wellness goals which feel slowly but surely more attainable in no small part due to this excellent environment to learn in. Huge thanks to the Evoke team!!
You're doing great, Dani. We are really happy that you're enjoying the kickboxing classes, and grateful for the opportunity to take this wellness journey with you. Thanks so much for your kind words. See you on the mats.
Fantastic experience: They are the best tbh. I love Tess she immediately made you feel welcomed and part of the amazing community they have there. The thing that made me decide to keep coming here was how she would call out our names during our workout to acknowledge our hard work. It might seem like simple meaningless gesture but hearing a stranger call your name really made me feel cared for and motivated. The classes are a Blanche of kickboxing drills and skills as well as some fitness components too like core and cardio. A perfect mix imo. I love the hygiene and place too. We wipe out feet and boxing stand with wipes that are provided. The classes are available in the afternoon and on Saturdays mornings so it’s really flexible if you have a busy schedule like me. Recommend 10/10
Welcome to the fam, Abigail. Thanks so much for your kind words. We are so excited that you're loving the kickboxing classes . See you on the mat.
Fantastic experience: Great workout, clean and spacious class area. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful no matter what your skill level is. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to not only get a great workout out, but also anyone looking to learn about the art of Muay Thai.
Thanks, Joel. We're happy to know you're loving our Muay Thai classes. See you on the mats!
Fantastic experience: My daughter had a blast on their March Break Camp! She was excited to show us the self defense moves she learned there and her first kickboxing lesson. The Pizza Party on Friday was so much fun! She will sure be back for their Summer Camp! =)
Thanks, Daniella. We're happy to hear that she had a great time. Looking forward to seeing her back for the summer. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: After doing trial classes at many dojos around the city, we’ve finally found our home. We've been members for only a month now and have already made some new friends. The instructors take a personal approach and call everyone by name and get to know all the students very quickly. My son is excited to attend each class. Evoke has found the sweet spot between discipline and fun for children of all ages. Highly recommend you check it out.
Thanks, Sarah. We are honored to have you join our martial arts family.
Fantastic experience: I signed up our 8 year old son for a week night activity hoping only for some fun and some exercise. Evoke has been the most wonderful experience for us all. In addition to having fun while burning lots of energy, the wonderful team of instructors are also teaching (and expecting) respect, focus and teamwork. These healthy life lessons are incorporated into every conversation and teaching moment and as a parent, it is wonderful to see a group of children absorbing not only the techniques but the important messages that come with them. Thank you to the great Evoke team for all you do with our children.
Thanks, Lori. We are grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with your kids. They're doing great and we happy seeing how well they have taken to their classes. Many thanks.
Fantastic experience: I joined the kickboxing fitness class with a friend and I am so happy I did. I don't usually like HIIT training and i've never tried boxing, but I suffer from lower back pain and was told that I needed to strengthen my core. After attending these classes for a month I can definitely see a change in my stamina and core strength. Going to these classes are now part of my weekly routine. As well, the studio is very welcoming, and supportive. I never feel pressured to do more than I can and the other members are just as nice. If you are looking for a great workout, I highly recommend this place. Worth every penny!
You're amazing, Erica. We're really grateful having you as a part of our fitness kickboxing fam. Thank you for your kind words and feedback.

Thank you Cara. We are really happy to hear that she's enjoying the classes. We really appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: I recently started going to Evoke Martial Arts for kickboxing. One of the best decision I've made choosing them as my place to learn martial arts. Tess is an amazing teacher and very friendly. She knows her stuff and pay attention to each one of us as we practice. What surprised me the most is that she remembers everyone's name and make us all feel included in the family. I really enjoy my workout there, learning new moves daily. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is just starting martial arts or anyone who is looking to improve their skills or just practice what they already know.

Fantastic experience: This place is great for kickboxing. I love how Tess (the instructor) pushes you and motivates you throughout the whole workout. Its fast paced, hard on the body and 100% worth it. You will feel you’re whole body working during the class and even couple days after. Definitely recommend.
