Silva Academy

“I started BJJ at 54. I made a list of gyms in the area that I wanted to visit and this was the first on the list. I never made it to number two! It starts with Jon and Summer's warmth; they pulled me in and made me feel right at home. The instruction is top notch, the environment is welcoming and the whole experience is super fun! I'm coming up on three years and it's definitely been a great decision. There's a tremendous sense of community with Jon and Summer or other members organizing pot luck dinners, outings at the park or a night at Sneaky Pete's! So whether you want to get in shape, learn self-defense or plug into a great community, this is the place!”

“Thankful for this Place , great environment and wonderful people , Professor Joao Silva and his Family. For Sure it’s one of the best Martial Arts and Fitness business in Lewisville Texas .”

“I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Silva Academy for a year now, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. Profesor Joao is super dedicated with his students and he takes the time to help you understand what this beautiful martial art is about. Great environment, great people, you’ll love it. 5/5 starts 100% recommend.”

“Stopped in a few weeks ago bc I was looking for a place to train while I was in Dallas. I waited for the class to be done. It was a small class of 3 or 4 kids and 1 instructor and a helper. There was probably about 20 min until class was over so I waited. Class ended neither instructor came up to see if I needed anything. They both went to another way to behind a desk or counter while people talked to them I wait to make my way cloaer yet she still never looked or attempted to come my way so I left. I thought maybe someone would come after me but nope. The sad thing is all the parents and adult students saw me and still nothing. They really didn't make me want to train here. I ended up down the road at LP martial arts one week and Sloth Bjj the next. I highly recommend those 2 gyms if you're in the area. Both places took me in with open arms and made me feel like one of there own.”

“The instructors do an amazing job ensuring everyone is able to learn jiu jitsu in a fun friendly and safe environment. The class times work great for us allowing the kids to train and then the parents to train in back to back classes. Our family has improved in confidence, overall health, and submission skills after joining the academy.”
