What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu(Gentle Art)-
Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ; Portuguese: jiu-jitsu brasileiro [ʒiw ˈʒitsu bɾaziˈlejɾu, ʒu -]) is a self-defence martial art and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting, and submission holds. BJJ focuses on taking one's opponent down to the ground, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks, chokeholds, or compression locks.It's well know now days that the only way to defeat Jiu-Jitsu is by studying Jiu-Jitsu.It's an amazing way to move your body connecting body and mind at one.BJJ gives the chance to a much weaker person to defeat a much larger opponent by the usage of leverage.

Professor Sergio Silva has been practicing Martial Arts since 1980 when he started back in Brazil with his Uncle Edgar Barreto with the art of Judo.In 1999 professor Silva moved to United States with the focus to spread the world of Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.It was in 2008 that professor moved to Alameda and opened his academy .Since then we have been building National,International and even World Champions out of the scratch.The idea was never to build champions to fight tournaments it was more to help everyone to create a healthy lifestyle with the assistance of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.The main idea of our program in Alameda is to help our local community to invest in their health and better way to live.Professor Silva teaches Martial Arts to kids and adults of all ages and levels.Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is amazing in the children's world and main cause is because we don't relying in punching or kicking and more focus in leverage and technique in order to subdue our opponent.Also kids and adults first learn the art of restraining and mobilize before start earning submissions.Professor always says: "You don't want to defeat fire with fire,it's much easier to defeate fire with water." That means punching and kicking should never be the first response in any case of altercation-Specially the schoolyard.
Along with the World's most effective Martial Arts that kids learn in consistent basis with us kids also have to understand our life skill program that comes with our regular Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Self-Defense classes.
Life skills: Focus,Teamwork,Discipline,Confidence,Family,Respect and few others to name .In our mat chats instructors and teachers always focusing in one of the life skills and for the entire class talk about that life skill combine with the technique of the week.You can also start your Martial Arts program in our dojo in Alameda.
