Frequently asked questions.
Things to note about your membership at Evoke Martial Arts.
One of Evoke’s operational values is to create a community that is family-like, inclusive, and safe.
The school’s policies and guidelines help us keep our commitment to a great member experience.
Holidays & Breaks
T.H.A classes run all year long. We close the school during statutory holidays and our annual week-long breaks in August and December. Please see our event calendar for dates and details: www.leasidemartialarts.com/events
Make-Up Classes ( Lil’ Dragons & Kidz )
You may schedule a make-up class within a week of the time your child misses a class. Simply contact the front desk for assistance with scheduling a make-up class. You may also request to switch the day(s) your child attends as long as there are openings.
Attendance Freeze
Members on a monthly billing cycle may request to freeze their attendance if they plan to be away for two weeks or more. Kindly send us an email indicating your time away. A maximum of two freeze requests of up to two months may be requested within a program term.
Please note that billing will continue on your membership; however, a credit for the frozen time away will be added to the end of your initial membership end date.
Arrivals & Class Etiquette
Classes start on time and we discourage tardiness in students. Joining a class 10, 15, or 20 minutes late is not only disruptive and bad etiquette, it also increases our risk of injury during training.
Please arrive 10 or 15 minutes early so you have enough time to warm up, get focused, and put yourself in the right frame of mind for the day’s lesson.
Similarly always check with your instructor if you need to step off the training floor.
Rank Graduation Tests
Stripe evaluations are done in class periodically. Once they have earned the required number of stripes, eligible students can test for their next rank at the next available rank graduation test.
Rank tests and graduations are held every six or seven weeks, and are scheduled months in advanced. Please check our posted event calendars for dates and other updates.
With our busy schedule we are unable to organize private evaluations for students who miss a scheduled test date. If you are unable to attend an upcoming text, simply plan to attend the next available date.
Housekeeping
Another of Evoke Martial Arts’ values is to be neat and clean, and to make our environment better. Please keep all personal belongings in the changing rooms.
Let’s also avoid distractions by keeping off-the-mat conversations to a minimum and refraining from eating hot foods inside the dojang.
Items left behind are put in the lost and found bin in the lobby area. The bins are emptied monthly, and all unclaimed items are donated to local charities.
Membership Cancellation
Please refer to the membership agreement provided to you during your enrollment for specific program terms.
A 30-day or 60-day written notice is required for a membership cancellation depending on your agreed billing cycle. Kindly consult the front desk if you have any questions or concerns.
Training Equipment
T.H.A For your protection and the safety of your partners, we permit only T.H.A-approved brands of training equipment in class.
This includes uniforms, boxing gloves, shin guards, mouthpieces, etc. You can purchase training equipment through our free mobile app or at the front desk.

Inviting A Friend To Class
Please notify the front desk ahead of time with the date / class to reserve a spot for your guest.
We love seeing friends and loved ones join us for a complimentary class. Kindly ask about Evoke’s rewards program for referring a friend who enrolls in a program.
We Are Social
We embrace social media and encourage members and families to share their Evoke experience Online.
Please use your discretion and be mindful of others’ privacy when taking pictures or videos of classes.
