There are 2 trial spots in every class.Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi and No-Gi) and Wrestling — one hour at a time. This is where almost every adult at Rumble starts, including the ones who show up nervous, unfit, and sure they'll be the worst person on the mat. They aren't. Everyone in this room remembers their own first class.
Book a grappling trial →Tiny Ninjas (4–7): Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling and Judo in one — no striking at this age. Youth & Tween BJJ (8–15): a full hour of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for kids and tweens ready to go beyond Tiny Ninjas. Technique first, discipline always.
Book 4-7yr Tiny Ninjas trial → Book 8-11yr Trial → Book 12-15yr BJJ Trial →A women-only room for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and practical self-defence, for any ladies who would prefer to work and roll with other ladies. It's a great room to start in to build comfort and skills, and then everyone's welcome in the co-ed classes — but it's not required.
The track beyond Combat Core that goes beyond the core skills everyone should know to defeat the average Joe, where you'll learn how to defeat other trained fighters. Gi and No-Gi, longer classes, more advanced techniques and skills, a harder pace, longer live rounds — and to go deeper down the rabbit hole.

Striking is about hitting. Grappling is about hands-on control — and if you can control someone, you can hit them if you want to. You could also make them sit there and listen to you read a book 😄. Grappling is what you're watching in the UFC any time they put hands on each other.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling martial art that teaches you to control and submit opponents using leverage, joint locks, and chokes. The first Champion of the UFC that completely changed the Martial Arts world back in 1993 was Royce Gracie who represented Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in No Holds-Barred Fights. Royce was the lightest person in the tournament (up to 5 fights in one night vs better and better opponents), no rounds, no time limits, no weight classes, and the only rules were no biting and no eye-gouging - because both of those are gross and it'd be nice to compete and have eyes after 😂. It is proven as the most effective self-defence system for real situations and where the smaller person CAN actually defeat a larger opponent - just like the movies.
BJJ is also the best self-defence there is. If you're worried about your safety and you have the space to throw a punch, use that space to run. The one thing that stops you running is someone with their hands on you — and that's grappling.
BJJ originated from Japanese Judo and was refined in Brazil by the Gracie family, who proved its effectiveness in no-holds-barred fights against larger opponents for over half a century (nearly 70 years) before the first UFC. At Rumble, we teach both Gi (traditional kimono) and No-Gi (rash guard) BJJ so you're complete whether you're training for self-defence, MMA or Grappling competitions.
Beyond being the best self-defence and a must-know for MMA, it's just fun to learn and play with a good team. You get in shape without noticing, and you walk out with a skill worth having.
Looking for Muay Thai, Boxing or Kickboxing instead? That's our separate Striking program — a different room, a different skill set although we DO have MMA classes and competitors it's invite only after people learn the basics of Striking and Grappling first. We also have Battle Girl Bootcamp, our women’s-only fitness Kickboxing program.
Shorts or leggings, a rash guard or a shirt you wouldn't mind getting stretched, or just athletic clothes, is enough for a trial. No Gi required to start — and we have loaner gear for your first sessions if you need it.
Every class starts with a warm-up. Then the coach teaches a technique or skill to work through, and we usually finish with live scenarios — a chance to use what you just learned, or anything from previous classes.
Grappling is leverage, not muscle. Coaches teach to the newest person on the mats, and the whole team puts the team first — which makes it a welcoming, helpful and genuinely fun room to be part of.

No. Most students in our beginner classes have never rolled before. Coaches teach to the newest person on the mats, every class.
Not for a trial. Athletic clothes or a rash guard work fine, and we have loaner gear for your first sessions. If you stick with the Gi side of BJJ, we'll point you to one when you're ready.
Grappling is controlled — technique and drilling first, live rolling later and only when you choose it. Coaches manage intensity so beginners aren't matched against people who'll overwhelm them.
Gi BJJ is trained in the traditional jacket and pants, using grips on the fabric. No-Gi is grappled in rash guards and shorts, closer to Wrestling and submission grappling. We teach both.
Two free weeks, every grappling class on the timetable, no pressure and nothing to buy first.
“Professor Jones is a great teacher and has turned me into a better person and fighter. I am small in stature and the size of the person doesn’t matter in Jiu-Jitsu — I have already won a silver medal.”— Aiden K.
I never thought I’d be the kind of mom who spends every evening on the mats, but here we are—and I love it. We live in Holland Landing and still make the drive to Rumble Martial Arts in Keswick because nothing else around compares.— Samantha D., Google review
My husband started with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 3 years ago. He raved about the coaching, the technique, the vibe—so much that our two daughters begged to try the Kids BJJ classes. Rumble’s family discount made it a no-brainer and even let me jump into the Battle Girl Bootcamp for free. That program torched my cardio, tightened up my striking, and showed me I could actually defend myself.
Now our routine is set: the girls train first, then hang out and play with their new gym friends while my husband and I roll in the co-ed open mat. Grappling with partners twice my size—and holding my own—has boosted my confidence through the roof. The coaches treat us like family, everyone cheers for each other, and the energy is just…fun.
Competition hasn’t been scary either. My husband and our girls have already brought home a stack of gold medals, and I’m signed up for my first tournament this fall. Never imagined I’d say that!
If you’re searching for family-friendly martial arts, kids BJJ, or women’s fitness in Keswick/Georgina, give Rumble a try. Great people, great training, and a place where the whole family feels at home. 🥋💙
I first walked into Rumble Martial Arts in Keswick, Georgina on one of their trial offer and never looked back. Now I’m on the mats multiple times each week, drilling in regular classes before hitting the competition team sessions, both gi and no-gi, plus open mat every weekend—plenty of tough rolls to stay sharp and in shape.— James B., Google review
The coaching is next-level: multiple black-belt instructors with proven medal records (Worlds included). Techniques and skills are competition-tested, and the schedule lets me balance training with family life.
That family vibe is real—my kids can hang out while I train, teammates push each other, and everyone from white belt up treats you like part of the crew. If you’re looking for an advanced BJJ competition team, legit gi & no-gi under the top instructors, and a family-friendly gym in Keswick/Georgina, Rumble is the place. See you on the mats!
I've tried a couple trial classes at other gyms and I gotta say, this is NOT your average BJJ gym.— Pavel K., Google review
