Here is a list I've compiled of MMA schools in and around the GTA. I'm not exactly sure if ALL are currently running, as I too have heard that one or two have closed or moved. Also, I can't really comment on exactly what is taught at all of these schools, nor do I know which is reputable, and which isn't. You'll have to do some investigating of your own.

JOHN PAULS School of MA - 371 Old Kingston Rd, Unit 4, Scarborough, contact John Paul Freitas, call 282-2585, email johnpaul@ionsys.com or master_johnpaul@hotmail.com

From what I've been able to compile, I believe there are two Team Impacts (please correct me if anyone knows any different).

TEAM IMPACT - Richmond Hill (my guess is this is the one at yonge st & hwy 7) Joel Gerson teaches judo, someone else may teach BJJ. I don't have an exact address, nor a phone number. I've heard that Carlos Newton drops by this school.

TEAM IMPACT - Apparantly this runs out of a high school in Pickering (Pickering High School?) Contact Stan Tzogas. Sorry, again, I have no exact address or phone number.

FAMILY SELF DEFENSE CENTRE - 60 Bullock Drive, Unit 3, Markham. Contact Ron Beer at 1-888-83SHOOT or email ronbeer@shootwrestlingcanada.com
This school is around the McCowan Road / Hwy 7 area.

BRAVADO JJ - 1 Ashbridge Circle, Unit 5, Woodbridge (Hwy 7 & 27 area). Contact Dan or Sil Moroney, 905-265-0950, email bravadojj@hotmail.com

REBELLION JJ (inside SIAM thaiboxing gym) - 680 Progress Avenue, Scarborough (between McCowan & Markham Rds). Contact Omar Salvosa, 289-9997.

SHAH FRANCO MA - 3385 Yonge Street (at Golfdale - between Lawrence & York Mills). Contact Shah Franco, 256-9952.

CANADIAN CENTRE FOR GRAPPLING ARTS - Pickering, Contact Darrel LeFrance (sorry, no address or phone no.)

KARMA JJ - 190 Marycroft (at Hwy 7) Woodbridge (sorry, no phone number or contact name).

MARK STABLES MA - 571 Queen street w (west of Spadina Ave), contact Mark Stables, 603-0924

MINORU MA CENTRE - 1290 Queen st w (west of Dufferin), contact Robert Varga, 535-0332

A BJJ club is supposed to be, or has already opened at 111 Byron Street S, Whitby (Joe Moreira Affiliate club?) Brock & Hwy 2 area (sorry, no club name, or phone no.)

My apologises for some missed information on some of the schools. I tried to compile as much info as possible, and I hope everything is accurate.

Ronnie.
