What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Mysticookiebear

"Professor Scott Roffers is a gifted, world-class, accomplished, and truly exceptional BJJ black belt, practitioner, and coach who boasts over 45 IBJJF gold medals! I visited the academy for a drop-in and was welcomed with open arms by Professor Scott, Coach Dylan, and Coach Jason and it felt like I had been a member for years. Professor Scott has built an academy and culture that really celebrates its members and makes you feel like family. Professor Scott was such a gracious host and gave my wife, my son, and myself a tour of the academy and it is absolutely stunning. The academy is extremely clean with men and women's locker rooms with showers, walls adorned with dozens of medals and canvas pictures of each member's favorite BJJ picture of themselves, lounge area with a big screen TV for members and parents to watch the action on the mats, and a huge open mat space so there is no worry of running into other members when you roll. Whether you are looking for a family friendly environment to learn BJJ or elite level BJJ training, Silverback Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the academy for you!"

Tom Boris

"Awesome place to train & Scott is a great instructor very patient explains moves so you really understand. Also all the higher belt students are very helpful. I'm proud to be part of the team & highly recommend coming down to try it & see that it's a great time."

Shanna Garcia

"We would highly recommend this program for children and adults. The place is very clean, organized and well kept. Our two sons 11 and 14 currently train here, they are always excited to go. Scott and everyone have been wonderful and have made a huge impact on their lives. Helping them to learn, build confidence and in making friendships all in a safe and controlled environment. We could not say enough great things about Scott & Team (everyone is amazing) and this program and look forward to the years to come."

Teddy Harris

"Our 7 year old joined this gym in September. He enjoys meeting new kids, rolling and learning new things, plus the fun games they play. Scott and the coaching staff do a great job working with all the kids while providing them one-on-one attention when they are just starting out! We've seen a growth with our son's confidence, too! Jiu-jitsu is a "look-forward to" every week!"
