Our philosophy at REV MMA is focused on providing a supportive and friendly environment for members while educating them on ways to achieve their personal goals in self-defense, physical fitness, and mixed martial arts. Train and learn with like-minded people who share the same MMA values and goals as you and gain the confidence to use – or not use – these skills to keep you and your family safe.
Check out legendary UFC commentator and the worlds #1 podcaster Joe Rogan, explain the significance of Chief Instructor Joel Gerson‘s legendary MMA fight in Japan.
Our MMA program is designed for beginners like you who work normal jobs but who want to learn quickly and safely. Our members internalize the same moves used to win the Ultimate Fighting Championships, while at the same time getting in awesome shape. Our martial arts classes are led by highly experienced and reputable staff, who work above and beyond in helping you grow your skills in each class.
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
