Success Stories"My 8 year old son Ron had an incident at school where
he was held by another boy against his will. Unfortunately there
were no teachers around to help him escape, he had another kid
help him out. This incident got me very worried that he could
not defend himself and that he was losing his self-confidence.
Our decision was to sign up into Judo with Joel Gerson. Within
less than 3 weeks, we noticed a big change in Ron's self- confidence.
He is not worried now when older kids try to tease him and he
is no longer intimidated by others. He loves attending Joel's
classes. Joel is great with the kids. He teaches them discipline,
respect, balance and gives them lots of confidence. The kids
just love Joel and look up to him. We are very happy with the
decision and grateful to Joel." "I have my two boys (4.5 and 6 years old) at Revolution and
am very satisfied. The club is always neat and clean, the
teachers are great and always motivate the children. My boys
always look forward and are very excited every time they are going
to class. I love that place and encourage anyone to join
this very warm and inviting school." "Dear Joel, My son Jared is in your Mixed Martial Arts programme
with the 6-8 year olds. I have to say of all the programmes Jared
has been in this is his favorite and it is mine as well. Jared
really enjoys going to class, he has a lot fun and he is learning
so much. When I watch him I can see how much he is enjoying himself
and how he listens to the instructors, and if you were to watch
me you would know how proud I am of my son. Joel you run a first
class program with great instruction and I am extremely happy I
decided to have Jared join Revolution Mixed Martial Arts and Fight Superstore." Since joining Rev’s MMA program our children have become
much fitter, stronger and have more stamina. They have
made new friends and look forward to each and every class. Keep
up the good work! My athletic training has spanned more than 35 years.Never have
I experienced a more qualified, thoughtful or demanding instructor.
Joel is the consumate teacher because he is the consumate student
of his craft. At Revolution, Joel creates an environment that will
take you to the outer limits of your abilities. These limits are
where we test our true nature and give us the confidence to take
on life's most difficult challenges." "I've been doing Combat Fitness classes with Joel for 2 years
now and I simply have no reason to go to the gym whatsoever. In
all this time, I've never done the same workout twice. We work
on all kinds of fitness drills from really fun Commando style fitness
stuff, to boxing drills, to kickboxing and mixed martial arts.
It's really fun and effective on a lot of different levels. It's
always challenging but you go at your own pace and you can literally
feel yourself getting stronger and more trim as the time goes on.
I've never been in better shape in my entire life than now. This
class has made me feel 10 years younger and would recommend it
no matter what your level of "As a doctor, I see first hand the importance of regular
exercise for cardiovascular health, weight control, and stress
reduction. One of the major problems with traditional training
routines is the lack of goal setting and motivation. Martial arts'
training provides such motivation allowing individuals to stick
to their training and achieve actual goals. As a martial artist
with over 20 year's experience, I can say that the world class
instructors at Revolution provide a dynamic, disciplined, and enjoyable
training environment. I recommend training at Revolution to all
of my patients who are looking to get in shape, or just to spice
up their training routine." I come to Revolution classes religiously. The instruction is so
easy to understand and very hands on; you don’t need to have
any previous understanding or history to get started. It’s
simple, fun and I get a great cardio workout no matter which class
I take. "My athletic training has spanned more than 35 years. Never
have I experienced a more qualified, thoughtful or demanding instructor.

of his craft. At Revolution, Joel creates an environment that will

and great workouts. Mr Gerson's teaching skills are superb. He
has an amazing ability to explain and demonstrate the techniques
in a way that is clear and exact. He is the real deal!" "I'm 37 years, university educated, a married father of two
young children, a business owner, a musician, and I'm a Mixed Martial
Artist. I've been training with Joel Gerson for over two years
and I would unequivocally recommend Revolution MMA for anyone looking
to improve their fitness, ability to defend themselves or looking
for stress-release. I have belonged to health clubs, continue to
play ice-hockey, but I have not found anything that remotely comes
close tomatching the physical and mental workouts of jiu jitsu
and kick-boxing. The members of Revolution are extremely congenial,
without attitude and everyone works together to improve their respective
skills." Whether you’re looking at learning a new skill set or improving your level of fitness, Revolution Mixed Martial Arts and Fight Superstore is the right choice. All of the instructors and students are extremely friendly and the encouragement you receive from both will motivate you to new levels! Joel and Hovig are both excellent instructors who are able to encourage the beginner to learn the basics and ensure that more experienced students are challenged as well. - Dan H. ...I took private Jujitsu classes with you about 3 years ago before leaving to Denver. I just wanted to say thank you for the precise instruction you gave me. Even today, after training with Brad Gumm(UFC) and Duane Ludwig(UFC), I find the details I learned with you on the basic foundations of grappling still serve me very well. It really is the reason why my armbar is now virtually inescapable, and I win most of my fights with the variety of chokes I first learned with you. These days I'm still working on my blue belt under Dave Ruiz(Machado Gold Medalist) and Brad Gumm. I still cant believe that this incredible journey all started with 10 privates at the Samurai Club. Thank you once again and best of luck in your teaching and career." - Fuad Abasi "Feeling uninformed and untrained in grappling, Joel showed
me the basics and together we built a strong foundation. This allowed
me to feel ALOT more confident about the sport. Having a karate
background made me realize how useless my skills were if I ended
up on the ground. The problem is, most fights end up on the ground!
Joel has provided me with knowledge and another set of skills so
that I could be competitive and finish the fight. He is passionate
about his sport and his passion rubs off on you as a student...I
love it! Thanks Joel!" "Joel has helped me become a much more well-rounded martial
artist. His extraordinary knowledge of techniques is matched by
his ability to teach them. Anyone wanting to learn about the full
spectrum of martial arts and self defence should take the time
to train with Joel." "We just wanted to take this opportunity to say how gratifying it was to work with you in the self defense course. There are so many unsavory situations one might find one’s self in these days that it seemed like agreat idea to learn how to respond to the crisis situations. We all found the course both enlightening and confidence building. The instruction was very adapted and many aspects of it related directly to our current employment. The statistics are scary; one in three women and one in eight men will be violently attacked, raped, or sexually abused in their lifetime. Thank you, Joel for giving all of us the courage and know-how on how to protect our well beings. There are really no words that can express the thanks we owe you, not only for ourselves but from our friends and loved ones who can now rest a little easier knowing we are prepared if evera dangerous situation occurs. We appreciate your professionalism and your patience, your friendship; you are a sincere person and a pleasure to work with." Thank you once again, The Staff at Sears Home Central "Initially, I was a little anxious about joining. With hardly any experience in Martial Arts training, I was worried about my capabilities and the fact that I lacked the self-confidence that I believed was required in order to participate in the Combat Fitness and Kick Boxing classes. However, I soon realized that the only expectation was to do my best and to keep building and improving my strength and skill. The instructors here are professional and demonstrate strong team building skills. They are very enthusiastic, friendly, encouraging and non-intimidating (they’re also pretty good on the eyes). Not once have I felt out of place or like I didn’t belong here. The classes provide physical conditioning, but more importantly they help build self-confidence and self-esteem. Granted, the classes are tough, but you always leave smiling." - Antonietta, Woodbridge. "... With a rising crime rate and being in the shop at home
sales industry, myself and my sales associates were very concerned
about our personal safety. After witnessing the changes that Joel
made with my son in Judo, I decided to form a group to work with
Joel on Self-Defense. After just a few classes, I feel a great
difference in my self-confidence. I am not as fearful when going
into apartment buildings, underground parking lots, walking to
my car in the dark in strange places etc. Joel has taught us some
great techniques of how to escape from most threatening situations.
I am amazed at how much I have learned in such a short time. Joel
takes his time to make sure we all understand the moves and he
makes it very enjoyable to learn. Joel's passion and enthusiasm
of teaching is infectious. My team and I believe that choosing
Joel as our instructor was the best decision we made." Joel offers an amazing workout program designed for everyone,including
people with injuries and limitations. October 2006 I was in serious
motor vehicle accident, leaving me with nerve damage to my hip
flexors and right arm. By January of 2007 I was back at a slower
pace, using Joel's combat fitness class as a part of my on going
therapy. As of April with Joel's continued help, I have recovered
quickly building back muscles, and regaining the feeling in my
arm. My quick recovery has been credited to Joel's efforts, in
taking the time to listen to my limitations, work with me, and
to improve my weak areas. Further to this, Combat fitness has finally
helped me get back my six pack after having 3 kids in 4 years (I
never thought I'd ever get those back)! Driving 1 hour each way
from Hamilton to Thornhill for me, twice a week is well worth every
penny....
