Age-appropriate kids teen martial arts programs North York:
Evoke’s kids and teen martial arts programs in North York are based on the principle that if every child learned the respect, courtesy, and discipline that the martial arts teaches… our world will be a very different place.
We understand that, when taught well, martial arts provides the tools to help build well-rounded kids and teenagers.
We also believe that the benefits reach far beyond pragmatic norms of punching and kicking. Our curriculum is engineered to target their various stages of growth and development.

Our daughter absolutely loves the ‘lil dragons martial arts classes and is always excited to go. She loves the structure, the instructors, and the positive atmosphere.
The instructors are patient, encouraging, and genuinely care about the kids. They’ve found a great balance of fun, discipline, and encouragement, and we’ve seen such a positive difference in our daughter’s confidence and skills. We’re so happy we found this program and look forward to watching her continue to grow.

If you’re looking for a fun, stress-free place to host your child’s next birthday party, we highly recommend Evoke!
We hosted 15 classmates for Tommy’s 6th birthday, and from the moment we arrived, everything was ready to go. The studio was set up with tables, and Mr. Theo and Ms. Layla took charge, keeping the kids engaged the entire time with obstacle courses, ninja challenges, martial arts activities, and nonstop fun.
The best part? All we had to provide was the pizza. Evoke handled the setup, activities, and entertainment, making the entire experience incredibly easy for us as parents.
The 2-hour party was perfectly organized, with plenty of time for pizza, cake, and celebrating with friends. The highlight for Tommy was getting to break a board at the end of the party!
Having the entire studio to ourselves made it feel private, safe, and relaxed for both the kids and parents.
We’re so grateful to be part of the Evoke family and thankful for helping make Tommy’s 6th birthday such a special and memorable day. ❤️🥋🎉

I’ve been training Muay Thai at Evoke for over a month now, and honestly, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year so far. I originally started with the idea of just releasing energy, but it’s become so much more than that. It’s a full workout, a stress reliever, and a way to train your mind to stay 100% focused even after a long, exhausting day. Somehow, you find energy you didn’t know you had and usually finish feeling amazing.
The coaches are highly knowledgeable and genuinely care about your progress. Evoke is a place where you truly feel a strong sense of community. In this short time, I’ve learned something from every person I’ve been paired with. There’s no ego here—just people who genuinely train from the heart. I’ve also made great friends along the way 🙂 thanks yall!

We recently hosted our 6-year-old’s birthday party here. While typical options for kindergarten to early elementary kids are indoor playgrounds or magic shows in party rooms, this was our first time trying a karate-themed birthday party—and it turned out to be an amazing choice.
From the planning and booking stage, the staff were always very responsive and patiently answered all of our detailed questions.
On the day of the party, we had a mix of slight nervousness and high expectations, but the experience far exceeded them. The staff were energetic, fun, and did an excellent job keeping all the children fully engaged and well organized from start to finish.
Within just 10 minutes, my son was completely soaked in sweat from all the excitement, which made everyone laugh. Meanwhile, the adults were able to relax and enjoy coffee while watching everything unfold.
Our whole family was extremely happy with the experience, and all of the guests also said it was “the best party ever” and “we want to do it again!”
We would highly recommend Evoke’s karate birthday party to anyone who hasn’t tried it yet. It truly exceeded all expectations. Thank you so much for such a memorable day!

We have been members at an Evoke for years now and it has been one of the best decisions our family has ever made. The amount of care and thought that is put into every program makes it clear that this dojo is a labour of love. It is rare to find a program that is well thought out, authentic, challenging and rewarding, and Evoke's Lil' Dragons program is just that. The children aren't just learning martial arts, they are learning life skills. Each lesson is imbued with the pillars of discipline and respect that are essential not only to a successful martial arts practice, but also to living life with integrity even when they get off the mat. The instructors are experts at bringing out the best in the kids, while emphasizing accountability and rewarding progress. We are so lucky to have such an ethical and ambitious dojo in our community, and our children's lives have been so enriched as a result. Evoke is truly a rare gem. Thank you so much to all the instructors who make the Evoke team #1. You guys rock, thanks for doing what you do!

Both of our kids joined Evoke Little Dragons at age 5, and it has been an incredible experience for our family. Through martial arts, they’ve learned discipline, focus, and commitment, but even more importantly, kindness, respect, and resilience. Each class begins with a character trait of the week, which sets the tone and helps kids practice these values in a fun, meaningful way. The instructors are skilled, patient, and engaging, making every lesson enjoyable and educational. Beyond just martial arts, Evoke is a supportive community where kids grow not only physically but also emotionally and socially. We’re so grateful to be part of it!

Been about 15 years now of both Fitness Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Some of the little Dragons from way back are adults now, and kicking my butt:) (sometimes...lol). It's a respectful and good vibe atmosphere. I recommend this club no matter how old you are, or what level you are. I plan on retiring my gloves when I'm 80 or when they tell me I no longer know my right from my left anymore. Whatever comes first. See you on the mat.

I took a fitness kickboxing class here and from the sign-up through to the actual class, I had a great experience. The team is great with communication and set very clear expectations on what to expect at the studio. The facility is clean and I feel that there is a good emphasis on respect, community and challenging yourself. There's a lot of encouragement. The studio runs some classes for kids at the same time (but a separate section) as adult classes which is pretty convenient. There is street parking in front of the studio and other parking lots close by. The studio is on an upper level so there are stairs involved.

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.

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.

I was looking forward to have my son learn Hapkido. They have advertised Hapkido Kids classes for kids ages 8-12. My kid is 9 at the time he started. After taking 1 free trial class, the Head Instructor said that it would be better for my kid to join the Lil Dragons (ages 4-7) class instead. My initial thought about it, was "why would my kid not be in his age group?" But the instructor mentioned about my kid might not be ready for Hapkido Kids. I found it odd, why he was quick to judge my kids' readiness or ability from just 1 trial class. I gave it some time to think about it, but my kid wanted to try it anyways. He was being a good sport about being with the younger kids, so we purchased the 3-week trial. I figured he can do the 3 weeks with the Lil Dragons class the after its over, we can do monthly with the Hapkido Kids. At first, I thought the Lil Dragons was great because the kids have fun with obstacle courses, play games, and mix in a little martial arts training. But after a few classes, I felt that my boy wasnt getting much martial arts training. It was more of a glorified play day instead. My kid just recently got his Red belt in tkd and I felt this Lil Dragons class became a waste of time and money. I asked if we can switch to Hapkido Kids already but they wanted me to go through the belt process, which would have taken a long time, several months. I told them it felt like my kid is being held back. He will be 10 years old in a few months but they want him with 4-7 year olds. So we decided to just move on. We took the 3-week trial and about 3 months of Lil Dragons. Evoke shouldn't advertise Hapkido classes for 8-12 year olds. Then make your kid be in a class with 4-7 year olds. They must not be aware they make the kid feel not worthy or not good enough or whatever it is, its a waste of time and money. I ended up enrolling him to another place down the street (TJJ) It's a whole lot better.
Just some advice for Evoke, maybe you should incorporate counting in Korean associating a number with a strike, like in Taekwondo the training is with counting in Korean also. You have moments where your instructors make the kids do a bunch of random strikes but doesnt really stick. Then they have to memorize other juvenile unrealistic phrases instead. There's not enough of actually preparing the kids going into Hapkido kids, maybe you should make 3 levels of Lil Dragons. Because some of the stuff seems too kindergarten-ish. My kid never breaks a sweat in those classes. The place is big, im surprised you dont make the kids run around, get some cardo, warm up or anything. 30 min class is too short. And the talking at the beginning is too long.
One last thing I want to mention, I actually inquired about enrolling my kid about 4 years ago and you guys denied my kid because he wasn't covid vaxed.
Additional comments after owners response: We started in the summer not fall, you said in the fall we can start Hapkido kids, so when I mentioned to the other instructor he insisted we go through the belt process, at that moment I knew we were going to end our time there. He might've thought I agreed with what he said because I didnt want to argue. He sounded like a used car salesman. There was no point in trying to convince him my son is ready to be with his age group. Im not the only one not liking our 9 year old boy is with 4-7 year olds. There is another 9 year old boy there too, im just the parent that spoke up about it.
Yes my boy had fun there, like I said its a glorified play day, you got the kid playing baby shark, freeze game, etc, barely any martial arts training. You guys were wrong to pass judgement on my boys abilities, like I said he recently got his red belt, has done sparring, etc. Can you acknowledge it was a mistake on your part, you're trying to convince me to waste time and money for something we dont want. Do you not know how to make a proper Hapkido training regiment for kids 8-10 year olds? And about the vax, you made it mandatory for kids to have, it wasnt required by the gov. I was able to enroll him at MFTK

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

We sent our 2 boys for a week of summer camp and they really had a blast. They really enjoyed learning new moves and all of the staff were super nice! Thank you!

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.

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.

I have been a part of Evoke Academy Martial Arts for over 5 years, and I can't recommend it enough! The HIIT kickboxing and Muay Thai classes are top-notch, providing an intense workout that keeps you motivated and coming back for more. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, ensuring that every session is both challenging and enjoyable. The sense of community here is unmatched, and I've made great friends along the way. If you're looking for a place to train and improve your fitness, Evoke Academy is the place to be!

Our son loves his classes at Evoke! He's enthusiastic and looks forward to them every week. Several of his friends have joined the classes as well. They're all 5-6 years old and we have nothing but good things to say about the classes, the instructors and the staff. Watching my son progress over the past few months has been very satisfying. Highly recommend Evoke to anyone who's children are interested in martial arts!
