He has built much more than a gym; he has created a true community at DMTK. He genuinely cares about every individual who walks through the doors, both professionally and personally. His respect, kindness, and dedication are reflected in the way he coaches and supports everyone. Through his leadership and character, he inspires us all to become the best versions of ourselves. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of DMTK and cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Great team environment, expert level instruction (the man is multi time champ) and a really positive space for kids as well. They are also big on teaching chess and used to run tournaments on the side for the kids when I was there. Couldn't recommend this place any higher, a great place to start your martial arts journey! Convenient and easily accessible location as well!

The instructor Evan was incredible, coaching and inspiring people of different ages and levels of skill, and catered to my needs while being tough, instructive and encouraging at the same time. Most importantly, it was fun, and the awesome playlist was a bonus. I'll definitely be going back.

I have trained in over 8 different gyms around the world (US, Canada, Brazil) and I have to say…read morethat Lin MMA is probably in my top 2. Probably top BJJ school on my list but not top MMA school. In my opinion, the BJJ here is top notch and the instructors are fantastic. They have a game plan scheduled out for the entire year and the drills and techniques are done so that you can learn and get a great understanding and grasp of the moves. Professor Lin is a black belt BJJ artist who is easy to get along with and holds the respect of the entire class. The instructors are top notch and champions. The decor of the gym is more BJJ oriented. There are 3 big areas for classes along with heavy bags along the edges for the Muay Thai/Kick Boxing classes. There is also a small gym with free weights. Everybody who trains here are extremely respectful of you and if you are a beginner, you won't get thrown to the wolves like some of the other gyms that I've trained at. As a beginner, you will get brought along slowly until you have enough understanding to defend yourself against more advanced guys. There are beginner and more advanced classes. The new guys to this sport will be placed in the beginner classes before graduating to the more advanced classes. They are open on Saturdays which is a great thing because I like to train as often as possible. If you do end up getting hurt, there is an incident report that they file for their records. I ended up tearing the meniscus in my right knee while rolling so that pretty much ended my training here because I was sent back to Brazil for work so am training in Brazil now. Price-wise, this is a little more expensive than what I usually pay (compared to US prices because in Brazil, I pay pretty much next to nothing). I was only signed up for 3 months because I was on vacation during this time and wanted to continue training but as a monthly fee, it was a little pricier than what I had wanted to pay. However, I definitely have to say that I got more out of training here than I ended up paying for so that is a plus! Now, I have trained at Rev MMA and I have to say that the BJJ at Lin MMA is significantly better. The guys at Rev are less respectful of you and will go all out on rookies. Also, Lin MMA is cheaper!! Rev MMA is associated with Carlos Newton which is probably why they say they can jack up the prices. I have only trained at these two gyms in Toronto but can say that Lin MMA is probably the best in Toronto. Thank you Professor Lin and all of the coaches. If I am ever back in town for an extended period, I will be coming back to continue training after my knee heals up.

Don't waste your time and money here. What Igor says and does are two different things. He has…read moredifferent prices for people, it all depends if you're in his good books or not. He can say what he wants but my bank statements don't lie. Two years ago he promised a lot of families to bring in wrestling and a bigger and improved gym with more washrooms ...needless to say this never happened. We left Mamute about a month ago as Igor was unable to accommodate my son by not providing more than 2 classes a week (he knew we were looking at other gyms, and he was ok with it, and I have texts to prove this). Therefore, we decided to move to another gym in Pickering that provided not only 6 days a week of training but more options, including wrestling, Judo, Kick boxing and Muay Thai, all without breaking my bank. And this gym has more than 1 washroom WITH a shower! And IT'S CLEAN, being cleaned by a professional cleaner! When we left, Igor asked to see my kids and my husband said no. However, what angered me the most, as I'm sure all parents would feel the same, was when Igor went behind our backs (mine and my husband's) and contacted my then 12 year old son in the middle of the night on Instagram! I refuse to give him the title of 'Professor' as with that title comes with responsibilities (not just a black belt with a red tip...that merely holds your pants up) that he obviously does not have, like not to contact a child in the middle of the night especially without the parent's consent! UNPROFESSIONAL and INAPPROPRIATE is an understatement! You have been warned! I wish someone was around to warn me. Don't let what happed to my son happen to your child! Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere!

I have been training with sifu teacher kenny for 1 year now…read moreWing chun kung fu I feel very lucky to have found sifu kenny as a teacher He is very knowledgeable in wing chun kung fu and possibly others but wing chun is the focus He is patient and focused and knowledgeable and has a peaceful nature as martial arts is about protecting your self or others under your care only as a last resort it is to the point if used no jumping around and doing flowerly hands = movements that show off etc. Wing chun is direct and to the point with very little wasted movements or openings that is the goal avoid if you can or protect yourself if you got no choice I am in my 50s now and i trained other martial arts when i was younger and i took 20 years off i see the difference that wing chun offers. I like to learn private 1 on 1 or with another student on occasions with sifu kenny smaller classes gives me the opptunity to ask questions and see things more close up this is HUGE for me as most schools train in big classes and dont offer 1 on 1 teaching option this is harder to find but this takes learning to a different level i feel. Thank you sifu kenny i am honored to have met you and be taught by you and thank you for spending the time to teach this chinese martial art to others so that the spirit of wing chun stays with us and we rember the history and contributuons we learned from the chinese culture in regards to martial arts and inner peace.
