From the reviews
I have trained under Eric for over a year now. Not only does he provide highly detailed instruction and decades of experience, but he is also very passionate about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and the passing on of it to his students.
A true gem! If you are looking for top notch instruction with a great vibe you have found it. My daughter (age 7) has been training with Eric for just over a year. She loves going to class and can't wait to train. Watching her skills progress over the last year has been amazing.
Eric is an exceptional, passionate , and fun coach. He caters to everyone’s goals at the gym as long as They show commitment “Coaching is a two way street”.As a collegian wrestler I tend to take practice pretty seriously so it’s nice to have a coach who can help you crack a smile here and there.
Wow what can I say, the environment is great! Always kept clean and coach Eric goes above and beyond regular standards of keeping the gym and mat clean. The team feels like one big family that welcomes you in with open arms.
New to BJJ? Start at Eric Da Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Eric Da Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Eric Da Silva Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
