First rate instruction and great training. The team is very cohesive and everyone helps each other, which is really valuable when youre 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. Couldnt have found a better place for Muay Thai!
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.
I highly recommend Aloisio Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for everyone! It’s an awesome gym, awesome atmosphere to train, & amazing coaches! Give this place a chance you won’t regret it!
If you are looking for a team of professional instructors who will teach but also provide you with constructive feedback in order to progress, this is the Place! The cost is very reasonable, they are very honest instructors who exemplifies what it means to be a martial artist. Great place to train. The senior belts are always willing to help you improve your jujitsu. No egos here! If you are looking for a place to learn and grow for yourself and your kids. This is the place to BE!
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. Silvas 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.
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.
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.. cant say enough good things about this school or its staff.
Wonderful place to train jiu jitsu and kickboxing. I started jiu jitsu at this academy at 34 with my son who was 5 at the time and we still train here together. It’s an awesome way to do something with your son or daughter, while having fun and getting in shape yourself, at the same time. Eric Flores and the other coaches are amazing. Very welcoming and friendly school atmosphere. Everyone has a great time and has become like an extended family.
Great family environment. Most welcoming group of people. I am always learning something new. I had no grappling background and had a purple belt already helping me before my 1st class started.
Before coming to Aloisio Silva BJJ, my husband and & visited several other locations in Arlington & Grand Prairie. We were looking for a place for our then 4 yo daughter. After the first free session, we knew that this was the place for her to train in BJJ. Our daughter is 5yo now and preparing for her first competition. The coaches are great with kids...very professional & patient! We LOVE this place so much that my husband also trains in BJJ and I recently started training in Muay Thai. This place is hands down the best place for kids & adults!!
Eric is a great coach and has taught me Jiu Jitsu without me really having any previous grappling experience. His team of upper belts are all just as willing to help and give pointers. My grappling game and has grown a lot since stating over 2 years ago and I couldn’t recommend the academy more. Jiu Jitsu can teach anyone, any size, to defend themselves in real life situations. Great for the mental and physical health as well!!!
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 as well as any other martial art!
I love this place! The coaches and the team welcome me in like I was already part of the family! And if you ask me thats always a plus! Everyone there are super nice and willing to work on your game. Highly recommend to anyone thats want to train and looking for good friends and family. Im proud to call Aloisio my team and family!
Awesome place to learn life long skills!Very professional environment!Highly Recommended !!!
Amazing facility, with great instructors. Very accommodating to all levels of proficiency.
This is a great facility everything you need is there. A must see.
My family and I Love this place! Coach Eric is hands down Awesome😎! Its Amazing how he captures the attention of all the little ones in his class. He has the patience and skills to have the little kids in the class perform the proper technique step by step simultaneously. He has made us feel at home and a part of a family. The timing is also perfect for the working class family. Class starts at 6:30pm and that gives us the perfect time to get home from work and get our daughter ready. As soon as my 2 year old is ready, no doubt about it, we will be enrolling him with Aloisio Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Arlington, TX
Aloisio Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy is the best place for kids and adults, It is a great place to learn self defense and discipline. I hope you guys can come here and see what its like. The coach is a nice guy and a very disciplined guy. He knows what to do and how to do it. Its a great place to lose weight. I hope they can see you in the future.
I’m currently searching for a new gym to call home. Made a stop here to check out a nogi class as it’s right next to my work. Eric is a great instructor. He gives details to the technique and cares about his students’ progression. Great class and I’ll be back!
Ive trained jiu-jitsu for over 9 years. I joined the Silva academy 5 years ago and never looked back. I came from an unhealthy training environment where people were viewed strictly as a monetary commodity. Going to the Silva academy was refreshing and reignited my passion for Martial Arts. They are all about the people and the training is second to none. I highly recommend Silva Martial Arts!!!
My two sons think learning BJJ is awesome. Coach Eric is great and everyone involved from the instructors to the students really help each other out.Keep up the great work!
I recently joined and the class itself is very welcoming and enjoyable. It is a great excercise and a very fun martial art. The instructors are extremely nice and helpful. I would recommend this class to everyone.
Awesome instructors... great place to train.Even more than that, it’s a fun community!
Aloisio Silva BJJ is an awesome BJJ school. My 13 year old son trains and competes with them. The instructors make all the students (and their parents) feel like you are a part of their own family. They go above and beyond to make sure all the kids at every age and skill level are receiving top notch instruction. If you are just starting out or have been training for years, I highly recommend Aloisio Silva!
Definitely the best environment for training! Love coming to this place to let off steam and learn from the best Eric Flores.
Aloisio Silva is an incredible place to train with equally incredible coaches. Out of all the places I have trained this is definitely my favorite. These guys are family to me!
Silva BJJ has been one of if not THE best thing to happen to me. The team is incredible, the teachers are amazing. Since ive joined I am in the best shape of my life and my confidence has sky rocketed. This place is fantastic and I highly recommend it to all of my friends, enemies, everyone really. They let you have a free week so if you are looking to get in shape, get better at grappling or fighting, or just want to be happier and feel better about life check it out.
Great place to train with very talented grapplers. The classes were top notch. Friendly folks, no egos, and awesome facility. Their muay thai training is world class as well!
Amazing and informative coaching staff! Such a friendly and family oriented team! So happy we can call it our 2nd home!
Amazing community here - definitely the friendliest and most humble people in DFW. The lack of ego inside the gym really promotes a highly accelerated learning environment.Ive been training here for over six months now and I absolutely love it. There are classes 6 days a week at various times to fit a wide variety of schedules. I myself come 2-3x a week and Im very happy with my progress. Every class we practice fundamentals, learn new techniques, and then end the class with live sparring for ~30 minutes.In the past six months Ive gained great BJJ knowledge, a higher level of fitness, and a lot more confidence in myself.One unexpected gain was a new large group of friends. Coach Eric routinely opens up his home to us to watch football games, ufc fights, BBQs etcThere is a great mix of skill levels training here; youll learn so much here no matter what experience level youre at.
Best coaches ever! Theyre passionate in what they do & their dedication to our kids is definitely reflected in our kids performance.
Being there for only a month the classes are taught extremely well, coaches are very knowledgeable of the techniques and for the price you get ALOT. Also, they are very military, law enforcement friendly. Definitely not watered down material.
Aloisio Silva Brazilian Jiujitsu-Arlington is a top notch Jiujitsu Academy that also offers a variety of other Martial Arts including Muay Thai. If you are in the Arlington Area, this is where you should be and where to bring your kiddos!! It’s a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere there. You are treated as family the moment you get there. The students there are very kind and helpful to those who are newer students and always make it a point to ensure anyone new there feels welcomed.In my experiences there, which have been plenty...I love this place!!! It is run by a well respected and accomplished JiuJitsu Black Belt who is also a Judo Black Belt, and is the head Muay Thai Instructor as well. Eric Flores is one of the kindest, whole hearted individuals that really gives his students his all when he teaches, coaches, and establishes a great rapport with his students and visitors alike. I can proudly say that I am part of the Silva Family and will be for many many years to come! I am always welcomed with open arms when I visit the academy to cross train and also participate in the Muay Thai Classes.This is where you want to be to get world class curriculum by a well established and accomplished instructor and team!!
Amazing school to train jiu jitsu. The coaches are very knowledgeable and welcoming. My boyfriend trains here and they are seriously like his family.
Aloisio Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has great instructors who work with students ranging from professional mixed martial artist to entire families units. These guys are great at what they do, theyre able to change gears seamlessly with their teaching methodology depending on the age and skill level of each individual student. I find that when Im being taught something new it tends to hit me like an epiphany. Its always interesting as they tell us how to maneuver ourselves and manipulate the positioning of our training partners. Its like a physical color by numbers in that at some point it all makes since and Ive just been simply following instructions. That in itself has made working with the guys at Aloisio Silva BJJ a very exciting experience for me. If you even think you may like it YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY IT. Bring your family... its an amazing experience.
My husband and I highly recommend Aloisio Silva BJJ Academy in Arlington, Texas at The Gym. Our two boys train there and have become very proficient and confident in their BJJ. The coaches really give one on one attention and there is always someone for the boys to partner with. Love this group of people!
Coaches are all highly experienced and friendly. Black belt instructor Eric Flores is a true professional and Marine veteran. The atmosphere is one of respect and family values, and everyone takes care of each other. Since my first day, I have grown to know some the coaches and students as good friends. I placed 2nd an my first tournament after only three months of training, so the curriculum is top notch. The rest of the team has some of the best talent in the state as well. Coach Eric is an expert in BJJ, Judo, and Muay Thai, so there is always an option to expand your training to reach new goals. I highly recommend Aloisio Silva BJJ to anyone looking to learn self defense, compete, or just get in shape.
Coach Eric and Yas are some of the best coaches around. When you walk into most academies in the area, you are seen as a dollar sign and will be treated as such. They do not make a bunch of banners of themselves and hang them all over their academy. They are very humble and treat everybody with respect and always willing to help you improve your game. The KIDS program is second to none. Other schools have the numbers but Silva BJJ TX has the best training partners for all ages. There are no other BJJ kids programs in the whole state of Texas that can say they have multiple state/national/inter-national Judo champions and multiple state/national wrestling champions. If any instructor says otherwise then that is a red flag and you need to turn and walk away.
Awesome jiu jitsu school with great coaches and a family environment. All of the coaches and students are very welcoming and knowledgeable of the sport!
This is an Awesome Jiu Jitsu Academy! They offer class times that can work for everyone. The classes are led by top notch Instructors. They find ways to reach all the students in the class as a whole, as well as on an individual level. This academy is very welcoming for all levels. They have a female instructor, Coach Yas, she is a Brown belt and extremely knowledgeable; which is a welcoming feature for women. Coach Eric, the head coach, is a Black belt, his approach is patient and thorough. Also, The kids program is seriously one of the best programs you could ask for. Silva kids know their technique extremely well and perform at incredibly advanced levels! If I had a kid I would put them in this program! Great school. A+++
Coaches are the best, great environment and the training is great!
Great school, very welcoming for all skill levels and the most flexible class schedule Ive seen in dfw👍
Coach Eric is a really great instructor to train under. He goes through every technique step by step and maintains patience with his students. Ive learned a lot from him and he has also helped me build my self confidence. He has a true passion for Jiu Jitsu.
Articulate explanation of traditional Brazillion Jiu Jitsu technique while demonstrated thoroughly for student improvement. Of the vast realm of Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, it takes nearly a life time to learn and practice. At Aloisio Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Acadamy, you will learn a new technique each practice day.
I found this Jiu Jitsu academy to be very welcoming and friendly. As a beginner I didnt know what to expect of the class and what to expect of Jiu Jitsu in general, but the experience was amazing. The instructors are top notch and teach very well. They taught me step by step and made learning Jiu Jitsu very fun and interesting. The people there will try their best to help you improve, theyre very friendly and make the enviorment feel like a family. Whether youre an advanced practitioner or a beginner like my self, I would definitely recommend you give this academy a try you wont regret it. One of the best decisions ive ever made.

My kids have the best training partners around and have improved so much since we joined. The adult class is made up of exceptionally skilled men and women of all belt ranks that are always down motivate and help. Silva Army isnt just a team, its a family! Come be apart of the greatness!!
Great place to train with very knowledgable instructors who give all their students equal attention. The BJJ students also get to participate in Muay Thai, MMA, Boxing and use the weights at no additional cost. This added training for no additional cost is unheard of in martial arts. The kids class is also amazing. They made us feel like part of the family and I highly recommend this place to all our friends and family.
Silva BJJ is one of the best martial arts schools in Arlington Tx., Coach Eric and Coach Yas are wonderful in assisting each student and reassuring that no one is left behind or overlooked. This definitely makes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu an easy sport to learn as a beginner! I highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in learning or joining the martial arts community.
