SD Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu NYC

SD jiu jitsu is fantastic. The studio is owned and operated by top athletes who offer classes for all levels. I started as a brand new white belt with zero experience in any martial arts and was blown away by how welcoming the community was. The environment speaks to the character of Silvio, Vedha, and their team. If you are interested in BJJ in the NYC area I highly recommend this studio.

During a stay in New York, I had the opportunity to visit SD Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu NYC with my son. We were very warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. The instructors are clearly high-level practitioners, and this is reflected in the quality, technique, and overall game of the students they have trained. Excellent atmosphere, very technical jiu-jitsu, and a great training environment. I highly recommend this academy — and without hesitation, I would sign up here if I were living in New York !

This gym is like no other I’ve ever experienced! The instruction is world class and the owners, Silvio and Vedha, are wonderful people. I’ve trained under Silvio for two and a half years now and could not imagine training anywhere else. The jiu-jitsu here is highly technical and classes are well structured. Beyond the instruction what really stands out is the supportive environment. Silvio and Vedha have curated a gym culture which emphasizes safety and kindness and in which higher belts continually support and help beginners. I truly feel at home here!

Travelled to NYC for a few days and luckily my hotel was right near by SD Jiu Jitsu in midtown. I went to the morning class and everyone was very welcoming and kind, the instruction was excellent and I had some great rounds to kick off the day. I highly recommend for anyone visiting or living in the area! Thank you SD team!

Gym in the city with Sensei Silvio and Vedha? That’s a world class. I love it here because I am always welcomed back. Whether it’s the day after or after a while. The style of jiu jitsu here is very versatile. Beautiful friendly environment with talented, focused students and sharp black belts. Beginner friendly and safe gym. If you want to compete, you are led with precision. If you don’t, you come for fun and good time. The most perfect gym for your own jiu jitsu journey.
