About

Horizon Martial Arts has been proudly teaching quality Martial Arts in Toronto’s Beaches neighbourhood since 2003.

While our primary styles are Kempo Karate and Kickboxing, our curriculum integrates techniques and philosophies from a wide range of martial disciplines. We believe in developing well-rounded martial artists, blending traditional foundations with modern training methods.

All classes are taught by Sensei Mark K. Evans, lifelong martial artist and owner of Horizon Martial Arts. When you train here, you’re not learning from students—you’re learning directly from a highly experienced black belt instructor with decades of training and coaching at every level.
