The owner, Jack, has put together a first class facility right in the heart of Richmond Hill. It offers yoga, MMA, and Jiu jitsu for people of all ages. I only ended my membership due to moving away from the area to another part of the GTA. This location is a must for anyone in Richmond Hill looking to make martial arts a part of their lives.

I have done Karate and Taekwondo and then got my kid to do the same. Had a feeling that these…read moreschools were just McDojo's but I kept being told that any BJJ school would likely change my mind. Fine for me what about my kid? So I tried first. To my surprised the mostly relaxed atmosphere which btw is hard to find in any dojo, was welcome for adult styled training. Prof. Omar Salvosa is what I'd consider a cross between a suffer dude and and a wise old master. He won't give up on a student and he will make sure you don't take short cuts but always ultra positive. I thought I'd come early and take a look at the kids classes. Wow massive and popular too. It didn't take long for me to pull my kid out of taekwondo and into his class. Prof. Omar was born to teach children and coach adults. Legit positive coaching with legit results. Bjj is know to be hard to achieve belts and even with kids Prof. Omar keep them real while enforcing a positive space. Honestly it is hard for me to come up with any negatives.

Amazing vibe, competitive yet warm. Lots of personal attention for the kids. Prof Omar Salvosa is…read morea world class competitor and individual.

At my first class, I met some really cool people that saw I was new and came to introduce themselves. Membership is very reasonably priced and they have a gym you can use if you don't feel like doing a class. There are beginner classes, women's classes and advanced classes. They offer other martial arts as well.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place. It felt quite run-down and in need of upkeep. There…read morewas dog hair everywhere, which made the space feel unclean. On top of that, the coaches weren't even on beat during the class--it really threw off the flow and made the session hard to follow. Overall, not a great experience.

I've had my Hers Kickboxing membership for around 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. Once I…read morecompleted the orientation, I tried out HIIT Boxing, Taboxing and Power Box. Every class requires boxing gloves; you can either bring your own or purchase/rent them from Her's. Gloves go for $32/pair and rentals are $2 per class. Each person has a punching target (Bob) used to punch and kick during the class. The instructors are very motivating and encourage the class really well when we go through the moves. They are also aware of that everyone is coming into this class is at a different level and accommodate with modifications for the moves. There is a lot of importance given to form, footwork and using the right body parts to increase power in your punches and kicks (to prevent injuries). Each workout class is 45 mins and during that time, the instructors take you through a warm up, full workout including cardio and strength training as well as a cool down. The cardio and strength components vary depending on which workout you choose. The website describes each workout really well and also tells you what level of cardio and strength is in them so you're prepared before you start. There is a mix of cardio (jumping jacks, burpees) as well as strength training moves using weights in each workout. One part of Her's that I really enjoy is the online booking system. Their calendar view of classes is really easy to navigate through and allows you to book classes up to 1 week in advance. I'd definitely recommend Hers if you're looking for a fun switch to your regular workouts!

Not safe for women. The guys ignore the tap. Blue belts and older white belts apply moves with full…read morepower, even if you tap right away. I've seen arms bent too far and ankles wrenched beyond a safe limit. It feels like they enjoy causing harm. Newer folks get no mercy--once they go for a move, they won't let go, no matter how much it hurts. The coaches look the other way. This place is awful.

I was looking to find a bjj gym to call home after a 5 year absence from the sport. I visited and…read moretried classes at primal mma where Igor teaches (he's also the owner of redstar kimonos) and that was great but it wasn't very convenient for me location wise; I also tried out action reaction, which is ran by Fernando, who is a good instructor and a very nice guy, but I found the classes to be too large and the majority of students that I rolled with, too spazzy without being technical (this was my experience only and of course you should try it out for yourself). Finally I tried Greenwood BJJ as it was fairly close to me but I really hadn't heard as much about it as the aforementioned gyms. The facility is what I would call pedestrian at best, there's nothing fancy here as far as change rooms or shiny equipment is concerned, but the instruction is something truly special. The bjj instructor Chris Greenwood has a way of explaining positions and techniques that for me makes it so clear and crisp, something that I feel is exceptional

Shower and change rooms available as well as a variety of strength training/cross fit style equipment. Class sizes are small which made for more instructor attention which I liked. The head instructor Jun is funny and engaging with a strong technical knowledge of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Signed up on a promo that included a free training gi/uniform (Other gyms asked me for over $100 for to get a similar uniform). So pretty good value. Been about a month in and really enjoying the instructors and fellow students. Would recommend to students new to martial arts looking to improve their health, meet some cool people while learning some real world self-defense.
