What our clients say

Great gym with great coaches who are incredibly knowledgeable in the martial arts they all teach. The rest of the staff are also great and as a bonus there is a small weight room with a cable machine and all the free-weights you need. The class scheduling is also good especially if you work a 9-5 or are in university.Glad to have picked this as my first gym.

Overall, I am satisfied, and I definitely recommend it. If you have kids, please sign them up for the kids' classes. Joel, Zuka, and Daniel are amazing, and you will have world-class treatment.Coming from Brazil and having trained for ~ one year there (I'm still a white belt, though), you might be a bit skeptical about joining the combative program. However, I gave it a chance, and I enjoyed the classes. In the combative program, you learn the foundation of BJJ and basic moves, which will certainly speed up your learning in the long term.

Joel and his team at REV MMA are absolutely incredible to work with. I enrolled my 4 y/o and my 7 y/o as well as myself for both class and privates and we are all hooked. The children’s programming is great and really instills discipline and confidence with the kids while giving them really life skills to keep them safe if need be.

I was able to train at REVMMA on a trip from Georgia. What an outstanding training experience. On top of exceptional instruction from Joel Gerson, everyone training made me feel right at home and worked with me like I was part of their program. From the time I walked in the door several members introduced themselves with a sincere welcome. Again, what an outstanding experience. John Canter

Our experience at REVMMA was great. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by the friendly staff. The facility is clean and spacious and the children’s classes are both fun and educational. They emphasize discipline, respect, and teamwork, instilling valuable life lessons along with martial arts techniques.I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a top-notch jujitsu program for their child!

Been training BJJ at Rev for a year and I really enjoy it. Joel and Arthur are great instructors who take the time to explain technique and come around to assist. Classes are big enough to have a variety of training partners but not too big where you feel like you are just another face on the mats. The advanced class has a solid group of training partners who are respectful and want you to get better. Rev is a great gym and worth the commute no matter where you are travelling from.

I recently had the pleasure of joining RevMMA, and it has been an incredible journey of self-discovery and growth. Chris, the welcoming face at the front desk, played a pivotal role in helping me choose the perfect mixed martial arts discipline that best suited my interests and goals.Chris's expertise and genuine interest in each individual's my aspirations were evident during our initial consultation. He took care and time to explain the various classes offered at RevMMA.The atmosphere at RevMMA is incredibly friendly and welcoming. No one hesitates to offer a helping hand or share tips to enhance our training experience. This sense of camaraderie is something truly special and sets RevMMA apart from other martial arts gyms I have considered. Special thanks to Coach Julius for his great mentoring.I recommend RevMMA to anyone interested in mixed martial arts and personal discipline. Ask to talk to Chris at the front desk and i'm sure he'll be as of much help to you as he was to me.

A Gem in the Jiu-Jitsu World!Joining Rev MMA in December was the best decision I've made. As a beginner in martial arts, the Gracie Combative program, led by amazing instructors Joel and Arther, offers the perfect, structured learning path. It's unique in that every in-class lesson is paired with a video lesson, accelerating the learning process.Rev MMA's community is also a highlight. Every member I've met has been friendly and supportive, creating a wholly positive vibe that permeates throughout the club. The front desk team, especially Chris, have been incredibly helpful and accommodating, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Plus, they're the only Gracie Combative certified club in Toronto, which is a testament to their quality.If you're considering exploring Jiu-Jitsu, look no further. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not signing up at Rev MMA. It’s not just a Jiu-Jitsu club, it’s a transformative journey into a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of yourself. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I always wanted to learn boxing but felt I was too old and had some physical concerns. All staff from the front door to the mats have each "tuned-in" to my needs and encourage and accommodate me. I'm happy to say that chronic, painful back tightness has been cured with boxing. My chiropractor agrees and has doubled the period between adjustments. I golf 100 rounds per year and vice-skip at curling 2x week from fall to spring. Both were suffering previously because of my back. I would like to invite my fellow gray-hairs to come out, get fit/strong, stay sharp, and and learn a new skill. Super nice community here.

I’ve had bad experiences at other places for trial lessons. Some places are unorganized. Others only care about signing you up.REVMMA is different. Administrative team is amazing, well organized and friendly. The facilities are clean and welcoming.Arthur and Joel are amazing instructors. They’re both very charismatic and great at creating a safe and fun environment for learning. It really help students feel like they are a part of a community.

Completely unprovoked.Learning how to survive an attack and protect myself and my loved ones became a priority.The elite level of instructions from each coach. The community of trust and respect from every classmate. The outstanding attention and support in private sessions. The growing confidence.All reasons why Revmma is the best of the best. 5 stars plus!

My 7 y.o. kid loves this place! We switched her coming there 3 times a week based on her positive attitude. I have to say we tried a few activities before (gymnastic,karate,etc.), but only these trainers found right approach to my child. Thank you!

I joined back in August 2019 specifically for kickboxing and never regretted this decision. REV coaches are very attentive to everyone, regardless of your experience level. I’m a beginner myself but I always feel safe and supported. At the same time I see the same coaches provide great training for advanced level students. Would recommend this to anyone who wants to try out MMA and isn’t sure where to begin! You’ll feel welcome from the get-go!

Hands down, this is the best MMA Gym facility in GTA with amazing skilled coaches that are warm and patient when teaching and fair when assessing students skills. This is a place where you need to learn martial arts and prove it during classes in order to get your belt.My son was first in the junior MMA program and he is now in the advanced MMA program. He has classes 3 times per week and he loves it. During the lockdown, Joel continued the training on Zoom with online classes, which were very helpful. Parents can also join different classes if they want to, so it is also a family oriented training facility.Highly recommended for all ages!

I am a visiting student from another school. From the moment I entered REV MMA I received a very warm welcome, both from the instructor and the other students. Joel has an excellent eye for details and is clear and concise when teaching. He makes everyone feel welcome, supported and takes an interest in all his students. I had an excellent time and am looking forward to many more classes at Rev MMA. Thank you!

Develop your child’s ultimate potential

Come in person to meet us and learn why parents just like you have chosen REVMMA’s Junior mixed martial arts program, and see for yourself how we are totally different from any other traditional karate academy or after-school program around.

Whether you’ve just started doing research for your child’s benefit or you want your child to develop life skills that he or she can learn immediately, investing your energy to educate yourself about which is the BEST program is the right thing to do so that you can be confident you are making the BEST choice for your child.

BALANCED CONFIDENCE TO OVERCOME LIFE’S OBSTACLES

Dangerous peer pressure, bullies, internet predators, sex, and violent viral videos: nowadays children face tests their parents have never had to experience.
The reality is that so many children simply do not have the competitive tools of confidence and self-esteem to flourish and become as successful as they could be in today’s challenging world.
My system empowers your child with amazing self-confidence to face challenges head-on, develop the proper friendships, and not fall victim to peer pressure.

CONFIDENCE TO SAY “NO” TO PEER-PRESSURE

The world can be a dangerous place: child predators, bullies, sexual assault…
You’ll sleep better at night knowing that you’ve done everything you can to ensure your child is learning the right life skills that could one day save their life.
Your kid will learn a whole system of self-protection, starting with how to recognize and avoid a possibly hazardous scenario.
They will also develop verbal techniques for setting boundaries and the right words to get out of a conflict. But, in the end, should it come to it, your child will be trained in how to defend themselves with the safest, most proven techniques available.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WILL MARTIAL ARTS MAKE MY CHILD MORE VIOLENT OR AGGRESSIVE TO OTHERS?

The exact opposite is true. Our students learn that everything they are taught is for self-defense in case of emergency only, and that “with great power comes great responsibility”. Parents of students in our junior program find our classes to be a “personality balancer”. If a child is naturally aggressive he or she becomes less so, and if they are shy and introverted, they learn to speak up for themselves and they come out of their shell easier.

WHAT STYLE OF MARTIAL ARTS DO YOU TEACH?

The most important factor for martial arts for your child is the right SCHOOL and INSTRUCTOR, who has the right experience working with children, and whose systems and methodologies suit your needs and fit your goals. That said, we do age appropriate and traditional Mixed Martial Arts with belt promotions till black belt, and the curriculum is comprised of the most relevant techniques from several martial arts but focuses primarily on the safest and effective martial art for children: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

HOW SAFE IS IT? WILL MY CHILD GET HURT?

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.

MY CHILD IS NOT ATHLETIC, HOW WILL THEY BE ABLE TO EXCEL WITH YOU?

Most children are put into team sports and forced to train at the pace of a group. While there are benefits to this, we treat children as individuals and let them progress at their own pace, so they only compete with themselves. Nobody sits out in our classes or are picked last for anything, and nobody’s confidence is damaged just because they are too big or too small, etc.

MY CHILD HAS A MEDICALLY DIAGNOSED CONDITION, CAN THEY STILL PARTICIPATE?

We have a ton of experience teaching children with a variety of mental, emotional and physical conditions who enjoy and do well in our program. Consult with your child’s doctor or therapist to confirm there is no conflict, and if they give you the green light, your child will probably surprise you.

DO WE HAVE TO COMMIT TO A PROGRAM?

Though your child will learn the importance of commitment and dedication as major factors in accomplishing their goals, we completely empathize with you, the father or mother, 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.

ISN’T MARTIAL ARTS EXPENSIVE?

At Revolution we offer a number of different tuition packages to fit most family budgets, because though we know your child’s confidence, 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:
