Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been proven time and time again as the ultimate martial art for self-defence and fitness. Mixing a great mental workout (strategy) with a great physical workout (total body) Jiu Jitsu is often compared to physical chess. You can start the program at any time during the year and participate in any class without previous experience and, since safety is our main concern, there is no competitive sparring in our beginner program.
REV MMA has one of the friendliest and warmest environments you will ever experience in any fitness or martial arts facility.
None of this will prevent you from improving in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu–in fact, if you experience any of these factors in your daily routine–then you MUST train!
Don’t make excuses for yourself, commit to a healthy lifestyle and take the right step to contacting us today to discover the new you.

Gracie Gracie COMBATIVES® is a perfect option for those who want to start learning Gracie Jiu-Jitsu® but can’t find the right starting point.
During the Gracie COMBATIVES® program, you will learn 36 techniques that can be used in real-life self-defense. The program is flexible, meaning that you can start any time you want, with any skill level, and make it through all the lessons at your own pace.
Safety is our number one concern. No need to worry that you’ll have to fight immediately with those more experienced than you. First — we will teach you all the skills in safe, carefully structured lessons. You can take part in sparring when YOU feel you’re ready for it.
Each lesson includes two techniques, one for ground and the other for standing self-defense. They are further split into even smaller, easier-to-understand parts, thus creating a perfectly balanced system.
Moreover, you can repeat lessons at home by viewing the training online in your private account, or you can come to lessons already prepared, so there will be no room for anxiety or uncertainty.
The Gracie COMBATIVES® program is self-sufficient, guaranteed to improve your physical and mental health. And at the same time — it’s a perfect foundation for the Master Cycle® program.
The #1 most common excuse we hear. Many people think they need to get in shape before they come to train. It’s not about who you are or used to be, it’s about the decision to make a better choice right now to be a better version of your future self.

Statistically speaking, martial arts training is safer than soccer, baseball, and more popular sports. Every sport has the potential for injury. This is why we are EXTRA careful when we run our classes, and only use expertly trained ADULT instructors, have matted floors and walls and are hyper vigilant during training. Don’t like to get hit? Neither do we, MOST of our classes can be done with no striking to the face or body.
Everyone who looks like they know what they are doing, joined us without knowing anything, just like YOU! Every student has their first day and those feelings when starting to learn something new are unavoidable. As an established facility, we are used to successfully and safely integrating new students EVERY DAY in our beginner friendly classes and you will be fine.
You would be surprised how common this is and how many people join every day with an existing knee/shoulder/back etc. injury. If you are unsure if your condition is serious or not, check with your doctor, otherwise our coaches can always give you an alternative exercise if you have a limitation that you need to work around.
Yes! Martial arts were designed for smaller, less athletic people to defend themselves against larger, more aggressive attackers. It’s not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the fight in the dog. Work ethic, discipline and character are more important than athleticism.
As you probably know, commitment and dedication are major factors in accomplishing goals, we completely empathize with your being unsure when starting out. This is why we offer money back guarantees which can be laid out in your initial consultation with a Program Manager.
Every day you wait to start with us is time wasted where we can quickly get your fitness and strength level up to where you need it for the martial arts training you are looking to do. We take care of your fitness in our classes so you don’t have to outside of our classes. A year from now you’ll wish you started today.
At REVMMA we offer a number of different tuition packages to fit most budgets, because though we know your confidence, fitness, safety and life skills are of primary concern, often-times money is an issue. To get more information about our program packages simply call the number below: 416-847-1020
Although Jiu Jitsu is comprised of over 500 techniques, our beginner classes focus on the most useful 36 moves used most often and with greater success than all the other techniques combined. You require zero experience to begin this program. All of our instructors design our classes in a safe and non-competitive training atmosphere, and are dedicated to ensure that all new students learn and enjoy their experience regardless of age, athletic ability, or gender.
In our beginner program, you will learn core techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practiced in a fun, safe, and cooperative environment.
Each lesson focuses on fundamental movements related to both standing and ground techniques. To simplify the learning process we further break down these moves into drills or “slices” to reduce the learning curve.
You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience and without the feeling of being left out or embarrassed. Furthermore, since safety is our number one concern, there is no competitive sparring in beginners Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes.
At REV MMA, we don’t just teach people how to fight, we give people the confidence so they never need to.
