Train in the RMA Method, a complete martial arts system combining Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, and No Gi Grappling to build confidence, fitness, and real-world skill..
Become Stronger. More Confident. More Capable.
Strength With Purpose
There is a part of every man that wants to become stronger.
Not only physically stronger, but more capable, disciplined and confident under pressure.
At Riverdale Martial Arts, we do not train simply to exercise or collect techniques. We train to develop skills that can be tested, improved and relied upon.
Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing and No-Gi grappling, you will learn how to move with purpose, remain composed under pressure and become more capable than you were when you walked through the door.
This is the RMA Method.
The Three Pillars of the RMA Method
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches you how to control another person through positioning, leverage and technique.
You will learn takedowns, escapes, control positions and submissions while developing patience, problem-solving and the ability to remain calm in difficult situations.
Kickboxing develops striking, footwork, timing, distance management and conditioning.
You will learn how to move, defend yourself and generate effective technique while building endurance and confidence.
No-Gi grappling is a faster form of grappling that does not rely on the traditional Gi.
It develops wrestling, movement, control and quick decision-making while teaching you how to manage a resisting opponent without depending on clothing grips.
One program. Three disciplines. A more capable version of you.
Your First Visit at RMA
Booking your first class is just the beginning.
Starting something new can feel intimidating, but your first visit is designed to be simple, welcoming, and pressure free.
When you arrive, we'll introduce you to your instructor, show you around the dojo, and answer any questions before class begins. You'll train alongside supportive members in a beginner-friendly environment where learning comes first.
Your first class focuses on building confidence, understanding the fundamentals, and giving you a genuine introduction to the RMA Method. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defence, or becoming a well-rounded martial artist, we'll help you take the first step.
You don't need any previous experience. Just wear comfortable athletic clothing, bring a water bottle, and arrive about 10 minutes early.
We'll take care of the rest.

"Lessons That Last a Lifetime"
One of the things I truly miss since we left Canada is that my kids no longer have the privilege of learning from you. You were not only an exceptional coach, but also a remarkable role model for the kids. The discipline, character, and mindset you teach go far beyond techniques on the mats.
As someone who practiced Judo when I was younger, I especially appreciate the way you combine Judo and Jiu-Jitsu and pass on the deeper values of these arts. Your students are very lucky to have you guiding them step by step on this path. Respect.
Greetings from Odyssea and Lydia.

"Training That Makes a Difference When It Matters Most"
Started working with Bobby the last few weeks and I noticed a huge improvement to my jujitsu. I work as a first responder and there was an incident where the subject tried to jump off the balcony in an attempt to end their life, I used a lot of what Bobby taught me and the subject was successful stopped.
Bobby is very personable and provides great feed back to individual students, he provides great information along with applications to real life situations.- Michael Wu

Expert Coaching at Every Level
Bobby is a life long Martial Artist, Judoka and Grappler. As an instructor, he is excellent, technical and able to help one improve whether you are a beginner on your first day or an advanced grappler. Riverdale martial arts is a great place to train if you are in the Toronto/Danforth area.

"We Came Back for a Reason"
"My son began training at RMA pre-COVID, but we moved out of the neighborhood when the pandemic hit. Four years later, he decided he wanted to continue his martial arts journey. We tried a few dojos in our new neighborhood, simply because RMA was a 30-minute drive from our new place. However, my son and I weren’t happy with the selection and decided it was to his benefit to return to RMA.
