I’ve been training at the academy for a little over a year and almost 3 years for my husband. This academy has been such a blessing in our lives and we are so happy to have found our Jiu Jitsu fam! I mainly train with the ladies in the evenings and there’s always a good amount of ladies on the mats every class. Every one of our team mates are respectful and safety is always a priority! Melissa, Paul, and the other instructors are beyond amazing and have been a monumental part of our Jiu Jitsu journey. They push you to be better both on and off the mats and will really invest in you (both children & adults)! If you’re hesitant to start, don’t be. As someone who wasn’t sure about Jiu Jitsu and contact sports in general, I cannot imagine life without this place!! :) Because of their mentorship, they even got me out of my shell and I competed in my first competition!! I’m not the competitive type, but Melissa & Paul were so supportive and t
Best decision I made for my sons to learn jiu jitsu at Silva Jiu Jitsu Academy! Very family oriented and great with kids. I’ve Tried all different sports but this is by far the best choice I made for my boys! 1 being 11 and the other being 5 yrs old. My 11 yr old has been training for 1 yr 8 months since he was 9 1/2 and he loves every minute of it. So we signed up my 5 yr old and he’s been training for about a yr and he loves it as well. Miss Mel is very good and patient and loving with the kiddos class that she teaches.
This gym is of a caliber that is rare and difficult to find. Coach Mel strikes the perfect balance between discipline, training and fun. She is encouraging, controlled, attentive, thorough, respectful and incredibly caring of all of her students. She pays close attention without being overbearing. The students are self controlled, very respectful, full of life and very skilled. The facility itself is cared for extremely well. It’s large, clean, efficient and comfortable to sit and watch class in. There is more than enough room for parents and younger siblings to wait and watch comfortably. No expense was spared and the AC during the hot summer months is very appreciated. I am so thankful to be part of the family here at Silva Jui Jitsu. This facility is the definition of QUALITY. Thank you for working so hard to teach this generation of children skills that will bless and shape their lives for good. 🙏🏼

I had the pleasure of training with the finest instructors at Paul Silvas academy! They have well structured classes for Toddler to adults! The gym is super clean and well maintained! Mrs. Mel is amazing with the kids! She makes the classes fun and has great energy! Professor Paul teaches the adults class! He teaches well for all levels and makes you feel at home! Highly recommend this academy if you are looking for a family type environment to learn and not get hurt!
No words to describe this academy other than “absolutely amazing”. Ive been with the Silvas going on 5 years now and I’ve loved every second of it. Melissa and Paul really dedicate themselves not only to the academy but to all the students. All the way from the kids to the adults. If you’re looking for a great environment for your kids to try jiu jitsu or a place where you can get amazing rounds in with great training partners then head to Silva Jiu Jitsu Academy.
