Eric Da Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

I've been training at the gym for 4 years, I started from scratch, I've visited other gyms and this is by far the best trainer. If you want to join a gym that maintains the old school, this is the one.

As an inexperienced, somewhat timid female practitioner who decided to learn BJJ for self defense recently, I cannot recommend this gym highly enough. Eric was welcoming from the start and continually makes sure the environment is never intimidating to a newcomer. He is also an exceptional teacher, breaking techniques and concepts down in a masterful way. His passion for the craft is evident in every class I've attended. The other students in the class have all been friendly and welcoming as well, sharing tips and techniques during practice or rolling, which are all invaluable to a newcomer. Whether you’re interested in getting in a great workout, or learning self defense you can’t go wrong with this gym.

I have been training with Eric since January this year. Eric has a knack for detail, takes his time explaining technique, and ensuring that you are executing properly. The gym is also extremely clean and spotless every single day. I ended up competing under Eric’s coaching and placed second in a very tough bracket and I could not have done it without coach Eric.

Before I started, I researched all the gyms in the area and decided on this one. And let me say, I am not disappointed in the slightest. The sense of community is great and everyone is there to help each other and get better. Eric is a great teacher and explains the techniques so anyone can learn them no matter their skill level. We also spar everyday which is crucial to learning it and helps you progress much faster. Everyone is careful and is there to help you learn so safety is super good. Not to mention, the amount of training and expertise/knowledge you get for the price is amazing. Last but not least, there is a variety of people at different belt levels so it’s perfect for anyone looking to start or continue training. I recommend this gym to everyone!

I've been training for over 10 years across many gyms and have been training in Eric Da Silva's gym is for a little bit over a year. Eric has a keen eye for the details of every technique shown and prioritizes safety. That's something I really respect as being a family man, I don't get the opportunity to prioritize training as much as I'd like to, and it's a peace of mind that I can train effectively and also get back home in one piece. Eric also keeps mental tabs on which of his students have injuries which just further adds to the safety that you feel when training BJJ at this club. Overall I would recommend this gym to everyone who wants to train or try BJJ. 5/5
