🥋🔥 GIVE YOUR CHILD THE POWER OF BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU!

One of the world’s most effective martial arts. One of the greatest gifts you can give your child.

💪 STRONGER BODY. STRONGER MIND. UNSHAKABLE CONFIDENCE.

Dear Alameda Parents,

What if your child could learn to stay calm under pressure, stand up to bullying, develop incredible confidence, and protect themselves without relying on punches or kicks?

That’s the power of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)!

Unlike martial arts that depend primarily on striking, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches children how to use technique, leverage, balance, and intelligent movement to control a situation, even when facing someone bigger or stronger.

At Alameda Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self-Defense Academy, we’re not just teaching kids how to grapple.

We’re preparing them for life!

🥋 REAL SELF-DEFENSE: Learn practical techniques, escapes, and safe ways to protect themselves.

🧠 MENTAL TOUGHNESS: Develop focus, patience, problem-solving skills, and emotional control.

🗣️ VERBAL JIU-JITSU: Learn how to communicate confidently, establish boundaries, and respond to bullying without unnecessary confrontation.

💪 PHYSICAL FITNESS: Improve coordination, balance, strength, flexibility, and body awareness.

❤️ CONFIDENCE & CHARACTER: Build discipline, respect, resilience, teamwork, and lasting friendships.

🏆 WORLD-CHAMPION INSTRUCTION, RIGHT HERE IN ALAMEDA!

Our academy is led by Professor Sergio Silva, a 5th-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Judo black belt, former World Champion in Submission Wrestling, and multiple-time national and international BJJ champion.

With more than three decades of teaching experience, Professor Silva brings world-class knowledge and a genuine passion for helping children succeed.

Your child doesn’t need to be strong to start. They become stronger by showing up.

🥋 3 MAJOR BJJ SWEEPS EVERY KID SHOULD LEARN

Today’s Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class was high-level training with great energy and great quality!

Our students worked on three of the most important sweeps in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:

🔥 Scissor Sweep — timing, leverage and distance control
🔥 Seat Belt Sweep — connection, control and using your opponent’s movement
🔥 Hook Sweep — balance, angles and learning how to use the legs effectively

These aren’t just random techniques.

We teach our kids to understand WHY a technique works so they can develop real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills from a young age.

And we don’t spend the entire class drilling.

Today we mixed technical training with:

🥋 Sweeps
🤼 Takedowns
💪 Wrestling and grappling
🧠 Problem-solving and strategy
⚡ Balance, coordination and reaction
🔥 And one of our favorites… SUMO WRESTLING!

Our Sumo game teaches kids how to control distance, maintain a strong base, engage safely, wrestle, react under pressure and compete while having FUN.

Serious Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t have to feel serious.

Kids learn faster when they’re moving, competing, laughing and challenging themselves.

That’s what we’re building at Team Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Self-Defense in Alameda:

✅ Confidence
✅ Discipline
✅ Self-Defense
✅ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
✅ Wrestling
✅ Verbal Jiu-Jitsu
✅ Athletic development
✅ And a strong, supportive community

Give your child skills they can carry for life.

🥋 TBT | WHEN ANY PLACE WAS A GOOD PLACE TO ROLL 😂

Back in the 90s in Brazil, when we were young and completely addicted to Jiu-Jitsu, we didn’t need a beautiful academy, fancy mats, or perfect training conditions.

We just needed friends and enough space to roll! 😂

This was one of those summer days in Garopaba, Brazil. We were hanging out with friends, enjoying the summer, and somehow our living room turned into a Jiu-Jitsu academy.

Move the furniture. Find a little space. And let’s roll. 🤙🇧🇷

Back then, Jiu-Jitsu wasn’t something we only did during scheduled classes. It was part of our lives. We trained, talked about techniques, challenged each other, laughed, learned and then probably destroyed somebody’s living room in the process. 😂

No social media.
No cameras everywhere.
No fancy equipment.

Just friends, Jiu-Jitsu and that crazy passion for getting better.

More than 30 years later, that passion is still there.

Some things never change. 🥋❤️

🥋 TBT | FIGHT TO WIN PRO BJJ SHOWCASE

Some victories mean more than what you see on the scoreboard.

Looking back at my Fight to Win professional BJJ showcase matches, I’m proud to have competed three times and walked away 3–0–0, undefeated on the Fight to Win stage.

But this particular match represents something deeper to me.

I was over 40 years old, coming back from a serious surgery, dealing with injuries and going through difficult challenges in my personal life. There were plenty of reasons not to compete.

But when it was time to step onto that stage, I had to put everything else aside.

No excuses. No looking backward. Just Jiu-Jitsu.

I trusted decades of training, preparation and experience and focused on performing at the highest level I could.

And I got the victory.

Being able to compete in a professional BJJ showcase after 40, against high-level opponents, reminded me that age doesn’t decide when you stop challenging yourself.

Injuries happen. Life happens. Difficult times happen.

You adapt. You recover. You keep moving forward.

🥋 Fight to Win Pro Record: 3–0–0
🔥 3 matches • 3 victories • Undefeated

I’m grateful for every opportunity I’ve had to test my Jiu-Jitsu under pressure, and even more grateful that today I can pass those lessons and experiences on to my students.

Keep showing up. Keep evolving. Never stop believing in what years of work have built inside you.
