Riverdale Martial Arts

Riverdale Martial Arts sits at 838 Broadview Ave in Toronto’s Riverdale/Danforth neighbourhood and frames itself as a neighbourhood dojo with a practical self-defence emphasis. The academy name appears on the front-facing schedule and About material; classes run most weeknights and Saturday mornings in a roughly 750 sq ft mat room. Facilities include men’s and women’s change rooms and a co‑ed washroom, matching the compact, community-focused footprint of the space. Head Instructor Bobby Currie leads the program; his biography notes long experience in martial arts beginning with Karate in 1985, subsequent Judo study under Sensei Frank Hatashita, and a start in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2006 at Toronto BJJ. He is listed as a Second-Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and also serves as a Corporal with the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada, which informs the academy’s emphasis on discipline, situational awareness and practical application across standing, clinch and ground phases. Programming at Riverdale Martial Arts includes Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, No-Gi grappling, kickboxing, a women’s-only BJJ class and a curriculum-based kids’ BJJ program for ages 5–12. The site presents the schedule as evidence of regular adult evening classes and Saturday morning sessions; class types and the stated curriculum focus underline the gym’s blended grappling-and-striking methodology and its orientation toward real‑world capability rather than sport-only training.
