I stopped training FOR 9 YEARS and this gym let me step right back into the grind. John and Summer are amazing teachers. if you are looking for a gym as a beginner or as a seasoned vet, check them out.
I have learned so much and continue to learn. Try it out, I promise you will love it.
This is a great place to train. It is a family oriented environment with two amazing black belts leading the way. I am so happy to have a BJJ home again.
The absolute gold standard, excellent instruction by the best people. Family focused
I’ve trained martial arts before, but no place compares with Silva Academy. The dedication and patience Professor Silva puts into his students it’s amazing. Family oriented and high value Dojo for training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 5 stars 100% recommended.
Best instructor ever! And I first trained and competed in Brazil, then with Fabiano Iha and Tito Ortiz and Chuck Ladell in Huntington Beach California, and also a different master in Newport Beach, CA. Then I met and began training with and competing under Joao Silva and his Dad, who are by far the best instructors I have ever met. Most real professional fighters that I have met and trained with are not particularly amazing instructors because they are really into themselves over the students but Joao is all about teaching the students while also being an amazing fighter. He makes it easy and fun to learn. If your like me you’ll grow more in one year with Joao and Summer than three years anywhere else. I only stopped training due to medical issues that I already had from the Marines before BJJ and time constraints. If circumstances were different I’d be training w Joao still.
Best BJJ instructors around. I've looked all over the area and this place is by far the best in terms of coaching And pedigree. I have found a real home here. John and Summer are phenomenal at teaching the art with kids and adults. Me and my son love it here.
The instructors do an amazing job ensuring everyone is able to learn jiu jitsu in a fun friendly and safe environment. The class times work great for us allowing the kids to train and then the parents to train in back to back classes. Our family has improved in confidence, overall health, and submission skills after joining the academy.
I like how Joāo & Summer are so patient with the children while instructing them on what to do. I definitely recommend adults and children to come.
I was visiting my son in Texas and wanted to get some work in. Stopped by and they treated me great. Jon is an excellent instructor and is building a great culture at his gym. I highly recommend it. Looking forward to my next trip to Texas.
