Age: born 1990
My family is a judo family. My dad won tournaments back in the 70s, my elder brother was a local champ and member of the provincial team, my sisters achieved various belt levels and my little brother was a national team member and champion.
I began my journey at age 15. I fought at a provincial level for 4 years and achieved local success. I spent time in muay thai and Sicaran arnis but I was always drawn back to the art of judo. After years of teaching I returned to the local judo scene to gain my black belt and after doing so I looked for a club to teach at.
Revelation has been my home club for 3 years and I look forward to many more.

Mr. Kenny, as the kids call him, began taking Martial Arts in 2010 at Revelation and now proudly holds a brown belt in Ninjutsu.
Kenny loves working with kids so it was a natural fit for him to become Sensei John's assistant in the kids classes held every weekday.
“I find enjoyment from helping lower belts learn. That look of accomplishment when they finally learn the move is the best!” said Kenny.
The kids are having so much fun with Mr. Kenny!

I’ve competed in poomsae (patterns) at many tournaments and won various medals, I have competed at can am games, provincials, placed top 5 at nationals, and competed in taekwondo at US open in 2019.

I started Training under John Sawatzky 10 years ago when I was 13. I started in the Ninjutsu class where I recieved my Blue belt. I then turned my focus to Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu where I recieved my Purple belt. I love competing and will do so at every opportunity.
I love sharing my knowledge that I've acquired over the last 10 yrs and helping others reach their martial art goals
In my experience Revelation has an incredibly positive learning atmosphere, which has not only helped me develop physically as an athlete, but also mentally and spiritually as well.
I truly believe with dedication and consistancy, training BJJ—and other martial arts in general— can only help towards cultivating an individual character thats foundations are rooted in resilience, discipline and emotional control.
Through training at Revelation Martial Arts, the positive culture and fellowship with my teammates has helped me become the best version of myself, and I cannot wait to see where the world of Martial Arts takes me with the skills I have acquired under Sensei John Sawatzky.
DOJO HISTORY
Sensei John’s patient yet firm teaching style makes him an extraordinary Sensei. He enjoys laughing with his students while teaching them skills, discipline, focus and respect for one’s mind and body. In turn, maximizing his student’s potential and ability.
Sensei John was born in Altona, Manitoba. He started school at the age of 4. Being the smallest and youngest child in every class, John was constantly picked on. John joined his first Martial Arts Dojo when he was 17 years old. While growing up, John trained horses and rode the rodeo circuit. Which is how he met his beautiful and supportive wife Tiffany. Together they opened their first Dojo in 2006 in Winkler, Manitoba. In 2009 they moved to Steinbach, Manitoba and opened Revelation Martial Arts.
NINJA BIRTHDAY PARTY
Birthday parties are one of your child’s most looked forward to days of the year. They look forward to a day dedicated to them and a celebration they can look back on for the rest of the year. They want a lot of friends to be there, to have fun with and hope each one leaves having had “The best party ever!”
You as a parent are wondering where you’ll have room for all those kids and how much of a mess they are probably going to make, stressing about entertaining all those kids and cleaning up after. When you book a party with us we take care of it all!
We have a 7200 sq ft space that is fully matted so your kids can run around and do “flips”. We have all tables and chairs set up for your kids and a couple of couches for the parents to relax on while we take care of the kids.
Kids start the party with a bit of a “karate” class learning how to fall, roll and a few moves like how to escape if a bully is sitting on top of them etc). Afterwards, we do games! One of the favourite games is playing dodgeball / capture the flag with mats set up that they can hide behind.
After the hour with the instructor is complete, the instructor hands out medals to all the kids for completing the course. The parents then take over with the food. Once it’s time to cut the cake, our instructor will come out with a samurai sword and the birthday boy/girl gets to cut the cake (with close supervision by the instructor). From there the parents can do gifts etc.
