Professor Sérgio Silva
A 5th-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, black belt in Judo, and former World Champion in Submission Wrestling. For over 46 years, Professor Silva has lived and breathed martial arts.
Born and raised in Curitiba, Brazil — the birthplace of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu — he moved to the Bay Area with a mission: to spread the transformative power of BJJ. Today he brings that wisdom to Alameda, the East Bay, and the greater Bay Area, including free Verbal Jiu-Jitsu™ anti-bullying speeches in local schools.
Professor Silva often compares BJJ to chess: every move has a consequence, success comes from anticipating the next step, and patience and focus win over raw strength. That philosophy translates directly to life.
Our Story & Method★★★★★
“Everyday is something interesting in every single class! It's never the same class. Love to play the games and the Verbal Jiu-Jitsu scenarios.”
— O. Diaz, building confidence, focus & discipline on and off the mats
