Head Instructor

IBJJF-certified 2nd-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and a Muay Thai Kru certified by the government of Thailand — the only one around to have medalled at the World Championships in both striking and grappling.

• 2nd-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt
• The only one around to have medalled at the World Championships in both striking (Spain, 2006) and grappling (California, 2016)
• Flown around the world to represent Team Canada in both skills — and trained local athletes from scratch to do the same in both
• Trained MMA since 2000, excelled as a striker, focused on grappling after retiring from the ring, and took his combat-sports experience across Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Africa, the Philippines, Dubai, China, Mexico, Ireland, Europe, the USA and Canada
• Certified Kru by the Thai government, under Master Toddy in Thailand
• Bronze for Team Canada at the kickboxing World Championships in Spain
• Abu Dhabi World Pro's #1 Canadian Masters black belt, 2018–2022
• Ten years working security, four to five nights a week — the self-defence credential behind how we teach de-escalation before anything else, and real-world experience applying skills with no rules, no weight classes and no refs. Coach Jones estimates he has had to put his hands on someone over 10,000 times (his height caused more issues than if he were just big). That isn’t here to impress anyone — only to impress upon you that most practitioners have never been in a real fight, and Coach Jones has years of experience in the ring, on the mats and in the streets. Not just theory.
• Started teaching in Georgina in 2008; opened Rumble's own doors in January 2012, four and a half months after the funeral of his trainer and friend Shawn Tompkins
