Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is considered the be one of the most effective forms of self-defense. It is predominantly a ground fighting art where the strategy is to avoid punches and kicks while attempting to clinch your opponent and take the fight to the ground. On the ground striking techniques are weakened and you are able to apply jiu-jitsu techniques to submit your opponent.

Through Martial Arts they will gain many positive attributes such as self confidence, self awareness and self discipline. These are all common core values taught within our kids program.
Muay Thai (kickboxing) is a combat sport from Thailand that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. Descended from Muay Boran, Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of Eight Limbs" or "The Science or Eight Limbs". It's the most complete, and powerful, striking self-defense system known to man.

Silva Academy is a Great training environment. Zero Ego in this gym and everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Coach Eric and his instructors really take the time out to teach adults and kids respect, honor, and integrity to each every student. Coach Eric really takes the time out to learn every ones name and a little about each individual the day you walk in the gym. Highly recommend this place. I trust Coach Eric to teach my two boys for the past 3 years

Do not have enough great things to say about this school and the coaches. From the moment you walk you, you know you found your home gym. Coach Eric instills an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and working hard but can still be laid back. The school is a competition school but is not required but will still push you as if you were competing. The coaches he has hired also come with extensive knowledge and martial art backgrounds. Multiple classes M-Sat allows for busy working moms like mysellf to be able to attend class 2-3x a week.

First rate instruction and great training. The team is very cohesive and everyone helps each other, which is really valuable when you're starting out. Our Coach is a competing pro, an expert with great insight, who encourages students to work toward their goals, be they personal or competitive. Plenty of opportunity for sparring, practice and working out. Couldn't have found a better place for Muay Thai!

Coach Eric Flores and his team of instructiors is one of the best in my opinion they absolutely take time to get to know you as a parent and your family to help you understand that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is all about. There just a awesome crew to be around and a wealth of knowledge for kids . Very patient and understanding each person learning ability. And help and shows you how to do it the right way. They go as far as helping your son or daughter out to get ready for a competition. Going over a game plan for attack or defense . making sure you are ready for battle.. can't say enough good things

I first joined this class with some friends anticipating a while to get used to the flow of the class and the people within it. As class went on, it was the complete opposite. The people, instructors, coaches and students there welcomed my friends and I with open arms and we instantly felt at home. The lessons were very intuitive and the coaches spend time with each person to make sure they understand the concept. After class it is always fun because the people will teach you some small tips and tricks to improve your game. Overall, this gym is amazing and great for anyone wanting a jiujitsu experience

Great program, Coach Eric has a high level of knowledge, combined with great humility.
I was especially impressed by his sincere interest and desire to help his students. At age 33 I started late in the sport yet, I find his patient, humble and nurturing approach to training keeps me motivated and committed.
He has high personal standards and ambitions which rubs off on all the team members.
Simply put this is a wonderful program put together by real competitors and Fighters.

I recently brought my 5 year old to the free class they offer. I was initially taking him to another academy but my kid was being sidelined. The reason I mention this is because I can now honestly compare Mr. Silva's program with others in the area. To say the least, I enrolled Mason immediately. The difference was night and day. I am grateful to find such positive role models. I sometimes sit back and wonder how the instructors have some much patience. Best place to bring your kids hands down.
