CLASSES
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

This class is a Belt challenged program. You'll love the competitive and friendly atmosphere of this class!
Judo
The art of falling, as well as learning how to fall properly is just one of the things you learn in this class. Keeping your balance, disrupting someone else's and effortlessly taking them down with a trip, sweep or throw is what we strive for. This is a beginner friendly class with awesome people to train with!
Kickboxing + Boxing
With a strong emphasis on cardio and overall fitness, our women's and co-ed boxing and kickboxing programs offer a wide variety of challenges. Whether you're interested in just getting in shape in a beginner friendly environment or training for your next fight in the ring, our kickboxing programs have everything you're looking for.
Kids Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Kickboxing
We utilize a traditional martial arts structure. This program builds and nurtures your child’s self-confidence while building their character and physical strength in a safe constructive environment. With our curriculum, children learn to handle themselves both at home and on the playground by teaching them how to deal with peer pressure and handle confrontations with bullies with a strong emphasis on non-violence. Also learning the importance of respecting a higher authority. Our Kids Jiu Jitsu, Judo and Kickboxing programs are perfect for parents looking for a healthy, constructive extra-curricular activity for their kids.
Ninjutsu
A traditionally structured martial arts program based on the ancient art of Japanese Ninjutsu. Featuring an energetic atmosphere, vigorous grappling and submissions (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), take downs (Judo and Wrestling) combined with relentless striking, kicking, blocking (Kickboxing) and evasion techniques. This intense 10-belt program is designed to build a solid foundation of martial skill where students learn self-sacrifice, focus and respect while building confidence and a positive mental attitude.
Self Defense Workshops
These classes cover basic self defense against someone who got aggressive toward you during a confrontation, to being a target for a mugging, sexual assault or (heaven forbid) to be killed. We cover stand up attacks and what to do if your lying down with the attacker on top of you. These classes are for teens and adults both male and female.

Name: Nathan pops
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.

Kenneth
Assistant Instructor
We're so excited to welcome Kenneth Tomson to our staff as an assistant instructor in the kids Jiu Jitsu classes.
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!

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.
