SD Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu NYC

“I met Silvio when I was a blue belt and he was always a great and a friendly person! Always very welcoming when I would see him at training and at competitions! Not only is Silvio a great competitor, but he is a superb instructor and coach. He is very specific with details, big into good foundations and most of all the techniques that he teaches carry over great to all kinds of body types. I love the vibe and community at SD Jiujitsu, great people and coaches, very clean gym & a wonderful experience. Silvio & Mauricio will make you feel like family once you enter the gym! I would say this is the best gym in NYC overall now. More power to SD Jiujitsu!”

“Silvio and Vedha are great instructors. I have been training with Silvio since I started my BJJ journey and have been to many gyms across the world. I always have a lot of fun training here. Training partners are all respectful and very skilled. Would recommend to anyone new or experienced to visit this gym and learn from Silvio and Vedha”

“The gym is beautiful. As soon as you walk in you sense the effort and dedication into making this a clean, safe, and welcoming training environment. I was immediately greeted at the door and welcomed to train. Highly, highly recommend giving Silvio Duran’s gym a visit.”

“The jiu-jitsu academy is super welcoming, and Silvio is a really good guy who’s always ready to help. The space is professional and perfect for anyone looking to learn jiu-jitsu and evolve as a person. Oss.👊”
