Not only a teacher but my friend.

I have been training with Sergio for over 10 years now. Awesome kids classes with a friendly atmosphere. Attentive and caring after school program. And awesome training and workouts for all classes! Most of my friends now have been made through the dojo. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try something new.

Been training with Sergio for 12 years. He is a top level instructor who has many black belts under his tutelage. This is more than an academy, it’s a family! Multiple classes everyday for people of all skill level. Come by and give it a try!

We have been training, my 3 children and myself, for 4 years now. Its a great community and fun place to be. The new location has so much more to offer yoga classes, kids classes, toddlers classes and more. Sergio is a great teacher and great fighter champion! Sergio has a great sense of humor and knows when to have fun and teach.

Sergio Silva who owns the academy is a black belt world champion. How awesome is that. Hes a very knowledgeable, chill, cool, fun, and nice. I went to check out a few academies before I came to his, and after a day I knew this was the academy I wanted to train at. The students are cool, I know everyone by name and thats because everyone is friendly. Id definitely recommend this academy

I bring my son here every Tuesday and Thursday for the kids class. He LOVES it. The teacher, Sergio really knows how to relate with kids. He teaches through games. The best part is my son is wore out after this class and goes to bed without a problem! Thanks to Professor Sergio and his staff

I took my son (4 years) to Sergios toddler class, and he just loved it. Sergio has two kids of his own and you can see that he really is into teaching and genuinely likes kids. I am looking forward signing my son up again this fall.

Great place for all levels of BJJ. Nice people, a real family-owned and run business. Kids classes, stuff defense, teens classes... They got it all!

Sergio has done a great job teaching my son(6) BJJ! So good in fact that he has inspired me to take it up at age 40. Cant say enough good things about Sergio and his staff in the Bay Area!!

Amazing. Life changing. Exotic. Gotta try it yourself. Put on that Gi and jump on the mats, its the only way youll truly know what kind of magic is going on.

Very good place and very good instructors. My son loves Jiu-Jitsu and always excited to attend the classes

It will Change your entire life. For the better. There is no real excuse. Just do it!

This is not just a bjj school, but offers yoga, cardio class, self defense, kids classes and classes for kids with special needs. Its a great place to train for both competitors and hobbyists. Friendly and challenging, with high level instructors on the mat at all times. Highly recommended!

Professor Silva is a great instructor and great BJJ practitioner. He also works with children with special needs which is very dear to my heart. The other students are welcoming, patient, and work well as a team.

Sergio is simply awesome with the kids. My daughter has been attending for a two years now and is always excited to go.

If I could give zero stars for this school I would. The owner is very self absorbed and thinks he is the best out there. I have seen the best out there and he is not one. He runs his school with very little morals and no professionalism. My son attended this school some time ago and Sergio Silva (the owner) started chewing him out in front of everyone simply because he was having trouble with a submission move and was asking for help. I am definitely spreading the word about this school with local advertisements, reviews, blogs, etc. to make sure everyone is aware of his bad instruction tactics. Very ashamed to say my son attended this school. He has been going to Gracie JiuJitsu, and unlike Sergio Silva, all of the Gracies have a very elite reputation and everyone I know has had nothing but amazing experiences with the Gracies.D. Chase

Professio Sergio is the best out there. He helps motivate his students. The entire staff is just amazing especially the kids program. Being in his academy is like having another home to come to...Everyone in the academy is like family. I would not take my kids anywehere else.

I visited three different academies in the area before deciding to attend Team Silva. I chose to train here because of the team atmosphere and the individualized attention given by the instructor(s), and because the higher belts are friendly and willing to help a lowly white belt like myself. This place is great because its both friendly and you can get the highest quality of training. Both sportive and self defense jiu jitsu concepts are taught. If you are looking for a serious competition based academy or a place to learn new skills and have fun, this place is an excellent option. Professor Sergio is the best because he is a genuinely kind person and obviously the highest caliber jiu jitsu fighter with an extensive pedigree.

Great BJJ, great vibe, great athletes, great competition guys and hobby athletes,has a great schedule so everybody can find a time to train.If you looking for a very technical jiu jitsu you should come train with sergio.

Great bushido - martial arts spirit.I first met professor Silva at a jiu jitsu tournament at a South Bay academy in 2007, where he was volunteering time as a referee for the tournament host. I was an old geezer just starting out but his kind words later after my match help bolster my determination to continue in this difficult young mans sport. Later I grew to respect and admire him for the great work he did in making friends with other instructors from other academies, and always being respectful to and supportive of students from other academies, even when they were competing with his students. Prof. Silva never hesitates to take his jiu jitsu out on the mats and he brings back a lot of gold medals. He is a first-class representative for the Northern California jiu jitsu scene - and I say this not as his student, but as a student from another academy. (I finally visited an open mat last year at his students Chris Piedras invitation - and Prof. Silva remembered me and made me feel welcome.)My little girl also competed at one of the frequent tournaments he runs two years ago - she was only 7 or 8 - and she got treated really well at every stage, from signing in, to the ref, to encouraging words after.I think when an instructor has talent at his level (which you can confirm with your own research and by dropping in for a complimentary class), it just comes down to your gut instincts and personal choice. Im happy where I train now, but if an asteroid landed on it tomorrow, Id be happy at Prof. Silvas too.Its unusual for students from other academies to vouch for an instructor at a different academy, but Prof. Silva has done so much for local jiu jitsu by sponsoring frequent local club-feel tournaments, that I dont want to let the recent one-star hate review go unanswered. That review is so far off the mark it has everyone in the community wondering where it is coming from.Read his students reviews for more detailed insights. But treat that hater review with the grain of salt it deserves. Visit Prof. Silvas academy, talk to him, and decide for yourself.

Love this place and the staff is friendly and always welcoming !
