Our child who is 3 is enrolled in Pablo Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 3-7 yr age bracket; and we absolutely love it. From day one Pablo and staff are genuine and very patient. Weve noticed a significant change in confidence and taking of instructions. She looks forward to each class and smiles non-stop. Highly highly recommend!!

I have been training at Pablo’s for almost 6 months now and I absolutely love it. Pablo is super knowledgeable and an excellent coach for all levels. Facilities are top notch (featuring an awesome gym upstairs) and very clean. I’d recommend Pablo’s gym to anyone looking to better their craft.

This gym has opened the doors for my son and I to the world of BJJ. Pablo and his coaches are honorable individuals whom offer next level training to all. The actual facility is top of the line, Clean Matt, Full Gym, Lockers and Changing Rooms, An elevated viewing area for Parents and the list goes on. More than glad to say we train here!

We put our son in PSBJJ when he turned four. He was having problem focusing in Pre-K according to his teachers. We figured he was a four year old boy with a LOT of energy. I was skeptical at first since he was so young and everyone else was so far ahead of him. Pablo is very good for and with him. He is learning to focus and gets the direction he needs. It also helps with endless supply of energy. I have also noticed a big difference in his coordination vs other kids his age. He is five and a half now and a gray belt. I also love the fact that now I can work out while my son is training in the upstairs gym for a nominal extra fee. I would recommend PSBJJ to anyone!

Pablo Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gym consists of friendly and knowledgeable training partners, gorgeous aesthetics of both the facilities and techniques, and world class, competition proven instruction. Pablo as a competitor has proven himself time and time again against the best in the world, and he takes this same winning mentality and applies it in teaching both adults and children alike. If you want to be a world class competitor, Pablo knows the winning formula to achieve your goals. If you want to get in shape and meet great people, Pablo knows the winning formula to achieve your goals. If you want to gain self confidence and discipline, Pablo knows the winning formula to achieve your goals. Off the mats he is just as genuine and truly cares about all his students, always willing to help out in any way he can. This exceptional character attribute that Pablo displays gives a significant insight into his own martial arts mentality, and translates into a great gym atmosphere. I cannot recommend Pablo Silva BJJ enough, and implore you to come check out a class to experience the beauty of Jiu Jitsu for yourself.

As far as BJJ schools go this is a top tier one. Pablo and his students are intense and focused on positions (points) and submissions. The atmosphere is upbeat, school is inviting with its pristine white mats, weight room upstairs, lots of changing rooms and plenty of space overall.Kids program is on point. The kids are disciplined and diligent in their practice. Coaches maintain this structure and reinforce good respectful habits.This is an ideal space to learn, practice and compete BJJ.

My kids (4 & 5 year old boys) have been with Pablo for almost a year and I can say that they love it and they are learning skills to defend themselves physically, mentally and emotionally. They have gained confidence, self control and self esteem and ask daily if they go each day.Pablo and all the coaches are great mentors, he has a great gym, keeps tight control over everything with a convenient location!

This is one of the best if not the best school in the Houston area. I moved 4hrs from home to train here, great facility, everything is new and well maintained, great mat area, fully equipped gym upstairs including a sauna and changing rooms. Great instruction from a world class athlete, great team atmosphere and support not just On the mats but off too. The team reputation speaks for itself champions build champions

Review №15

When I was moving to TX from Colorado, one of the instructors that I had told me, If you want to be a world champion, go to Pablos. I couldnt get those words out of my head when I considered joining other schools in the Houston area.After being a part of the team for over 3 years, I can look back and say that this is one of the best decisions of my life. The phrase World Champion is expressed not only through the multiple actual world champions in the school (including Pablo), but in the instruction, and the facility itself.If you want to truly achieve your full potential in life, then make the same decision that I did and join the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu team in Texas.

This is my first long-term gym for BJJ, and I couldnt ask for a better group of people to train with. In both the fundamentals and competition class there are students from a wide range of backgrounds. Theyve all been welcoming and happy to share what they know, but they also bring the intensity to every training session, especially when sparring.Professor Pablo is a fantastic coach as well, offering to teach techniques that have been tested, and succeed, at high-level competition. He distills them into a way thats easy to understand and also provides the means to hone them through live rounds during competition class and drills/positional sparring in fundamentals.

Great self defense, learning, and confidence booster. Start as early as 3yo and come in at any fitness level. Kids and adults classes. They have a gym upstairs, showers downstairs and lockers. World champion black belt Professor Pablo Silva. Hes still active and competing so he is in the game.

I deeply enjoyed dropping in on Pablo Silvas. I had a pleasure of meeting some really great grapplers there and loved the class structure. In my visit there was a sort of first to score, wins exercise that ended with the entire class shouting and cheering on their friends who had yet to concede a point; and the sound was incredible. If I lived in Houston thats where Id want to train. If you have a white gi and are willing to dig deep, Id recommend you stop by.

I can not say enough about the high quality instruction and the reflection of positive leadership qualities demonstrated by instructors and staff. I have two sons in Pablos program and they have grown greatly during their time with him. Practice serves as training as well as developing leadership and confidence within the kids. The times for class are convenient for working parents, and the fact that Saturdays class has older kids, really inspires self-motivation and as well as dedication to growing in the sport. Pablo also shows a kind and nurturing attitude for the younger kids, while still having high expectations. We have been with him for a little over a year and look forward to participating for many more. If you are interested in any type of martial art, Pablo Silva should be your first choice.

Review №25

I initially joined Prof. Pablos school because my young son was training there.My sons experience has been terrific. Within a few short months of starting to train when he was four, his confidence skyrocketed, he became more outgoing on the playground and more emotionally resilient in physical situations. I also noticed that his physical strength and coordination were improving faster than it had before. Its also important to note that Prof. Pablo is incredible with the kids, providing a nurturing, caring and safe environment for them to train.Seeing my sons development (and, frankly, having him comment that Daddy, youre getting a little soft in the belly) motivated me to join the school. I had no prior grappling experience and was a little apprehensive about joining. However, beginners are welcomed with open arms at Prof. Pablos school. At no point have I felt or been made to feel out of place or an inconvenience to others, even when practicing a technique for the very first time (which is most of the time, for me). In fact, I have only felt motivated to challenge myself more, to keep studying and training harder.I cannot recommend Pablo Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu highly enough. Ive only begun my Jiu Jitsu journey, but Im thankful to be a part of the PSBJJ family, to be improving my skills and fitness, and to be training with people who care not only about their own development, but that of all of their teammates as well.

Review №26

I came to Pablo’s academy after trying out several gyms in the Houston area. Pablo’s gym has the best instruction and training partners that I’ve ever encountered. Pablo is a world class instructor and competitor who takes the time to monitor and give constructive feedback to all of his students, and he is fully dedicated to pushing his students to be their best. Pablo is fully dedicated to building a great team at his academy, and it shows. Pablo’s team feels like a family, where there are no egos or bad attitudes. As a new white belt, it felt a little intimidating stepping into a gym where world class competitors train, but everyone from the newest white belt to the most seasoned competitors feel welcome and at home at Pablo’s school. The team here has so many experienced training partners to work with and ask questions, and everyone is very open and helpful. Training at Pablo’s academy has gotten me into shape and really changed my life for the better. I cannot say enough good things about Pablo and all of my training partners at his gym.

Great Place, awesome environment, and beautiful facility. I would love to offer my experience here as the wife of a student, and it has been great. He gets to work out by doing bjj and I can use the extensive workout equipment on the second floor to get my own. The place is beautifully white and its very clean from the bathrooms to the second floor. My experience here has been second to none and I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to try it.

Review №28

Its very difficult to add to what has already been said so well by the other students. The facilities are out of this world. The instruction and the carefully calibrated training take you places you never knew existed. As a relatively new student well into his 60s, I find Pablo Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to be very challenging, both mentally and physically. But Pablo and the other students are helpful, without coddling, and there is a palpable sense of camaraderie as everyone struggles with each other and with themselves on the mat. One of Pablos longtime students once advised me to just show up. Based on what I have seen, if you just show up at Pablo Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and put in the effort, you will go along way toward living up to your potential.P.S. Waiting for the evening adults class, I get to see the kids class. I cant think of a better activity for kids of all ages.

Review №32

Best Jujitsu gym ever! My husband started about 2 years prior and hes in the best shape of his life. I joined a year later and its been the best thing we did for ourselves as individuals and as a couple. Jujitsu is a way of life and its benefits go beyond the physical side. Our son is now in Jujitsu too. There is no fake martial arts here, or fake boostering of ego just for sake. Its hard yet so rewarding. The people you will meet here will be your second family pushing and nurturing you on the same path. And the facility.... clean, state of the art, and hands down the best facility I have seen.All of this is all coming from a normally quiet, somewhat reclusive mother of two trying to find some healthy, physical activities to keep up beautiful husband and kids. Try it. You owe it to yourself to know how to kick someones arse, if you need too :) And yet still embrace your feminine side.

Review №33

I have trained at the Pablo Silva Jiu Jitsu Academy since the summer of 2014 and I have found his school to be first class in every respect. Pablo Silva is a World Champion on the mat and in life, and I have found his instruction to be outstanding and second to none. As an older student who had absolutely no prior martial arts experience, Pablo immediately welcomed me into his circle and demonstrated genuine and personal concern for my Jiu Jitsu development. Professor Pablo’s ability to patiently teach all aspects of BJJ combined with his personal style is truly exceptional and he has created the perfect atmosphere for learning on every level. I have had the opportunity to closely observe Pablo instruct and provide leadership to all ages from children to highly experienced Black Belts, and I have found that he thoughtfully designs his personal attention to fit the novice student and completion minded athlete. Pablo has an unlimited drive and passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu of which he tirelessly promotes and instills in all of his students of every age. I highly recommend joining the Pablo Silva Jiu Jitsu Team!

We have been attending the school for 8 months now, my 5 year old son quickly fell in love with the sport as his all time favorite. I feel it has allot to do with the energy and love of the practice he runs. Its very quick to note that Pablo is passionate and very professional. He focuses on an orderly class that suits all his students of every age, to the best of their ability. He ensures they understand the techniques at a level, yet he is also takes the time to make the class fun if time exists at the end to squeeze in a fun game. His staff is fully trained, knowledgeable and the most friendly. His prices are competitive and the location is quick and easy being right off the freeway.

Review №36

First and foremost, Pablo Silva is legitimate competitor, Professor, and leader. My son joined Pablo Silva in hopes of taking his BJJ game to the next level. A competitor since the age of 5, he hit a plateau. We knew we made the correct decision after the first class. Pablos teaching style is super technical, effective, and he teaches in a way easy to absorb. He genially cares for his students and their success. Pablos instructors and team are some of the most knowledgeable in the BJJ world and competition results show. If you are looking to take your game to the next level, this is the place for you.

Our 5-yr old boy has been going with Coach Pablo for over one year. We enjoyed the very well organized format and well maintained facilities. The coach and his team have the professional authority that kids will look up to since Day 1. We love the disciplined and teamed environment. Granted we know nothing about the techniques, but we are able to tell the knowledge improvement from our sons day-to-day talking. We also appreciated the coaching around Michaels emotional fluctuations - the coach is aware of his ups and downs and has been able to pick him up from his lowest moments for multiple times. We are impressed with how we managed to meet our expectations from this learning experience, for Michael to gain physical activity, knowledge, sense of discipline, team work, and coping with his own emotions. We hope to go further by joining the competitions this summer!

Review №41

I recently started Jiu Jitsu about 4 months ago, coming off of MCL surgery. I was hesitant at first, however when checking out Pablos he is very open to walk-ins and the students are extremely welcoming. I was very intimidated at first being a white belt with a bum leg, however the vibe I felt was that everyone wanted to elevate each other’s game, rather than being in it for themselves. I needed a gym that would be competitive, supportive, and inspiring. I did not find that. I found a FAMILY that was competitive, supportive, and inspiring – and of course a state of the art facility that would help his team achieve its Jiu Jitsu endeavors. With all this said, Pablo established a renowned team/family that is all hungry for a winning mentality.Not only is Pablo a coach, he is a mentor that you can look to for answers. He often compares Jiu Jitsu circumstances with real life situations and teaches his students how to surpass these dilemmas. During training, he is attentive to his team’s needs and struggles and quickly addresses confusion. He is always open for questions and concerns and always looking for positive ways to impact the team.I am not here to boast about his resume and accolades, there is Google for that. I am here to give my honest opinion on my experience at Pablo Silva, and it has been nothing but positive growth.When joining Pablo Silva, you can expect to have your Jiu Jitsu grow tremendously as well as personal growth.

Review №42

Having come from a different martial arts school, we can feel a palpable difference between his prior school and Pablos classes. Our purpose initially was to place our son somewhere, to build his confidence and assertiveness. Though he did fine in his prior martial arts school, the attention and personal care he gets with Pablo and his staff, has had a greater impact on his growth. We appreciate their patience and willingness to accept each child for their strengths and weaknesses. We could not be happier to have our son grow up with Pablo and his staff! Furthermore, it is great to be around other parents who have the same goals for their children. In this day and age, we could not ask for a better environment and community, to help mold our children to be strong individuals.

My daughter has been apart of Pablo Silva BJJ since 2016. She enjoys it very much and has made some wonderful friends a long the way. Her confidence is growing and it is all because of what she has learned here. Pablo gives everyone his attention and is a very patient and a wonderful professor. I love being able to watch her practice 3 times a week, it is very exciting to see. It’s a perfect balance of learning and fun! She has competed in tournaments and Pablo is there for her, as he is for everyone competing, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would very much recommend this school, you will be happy you joined! Also, the school is absolutely gorgeous!

There are lots of great Jiu-Jitsu schools in Houston, but Pablo Silvas School is the very best. Jiu-Jitsu in general will change you for the better, but PSBJJ will propel you beyond your own perceived limits, and it will mold you into a Champion on and off the mats. 13 yrs in the Jiu-Jitsu game for me and Ive seen it all. This place is unique and what is going on here is very special.

After having trained under several great Masters in different disciplines, I was in search of someone who could guide me on my next journey in martial arts. I reluctantly walked into Pablo Silva BJJ with no expectations; however, I was quickly blown away by his discipline, knowledge of the art, and his patience and dedication towards his students. I have spent the last 2 years under his tutelage, and he never ceases to amaze me. He has a kind but strong spirit coupled with a state of the art facility designed to harness potential and create champions. To anyone looking to embark on a journey into, continue on a their journey in, or test the limits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu I would recommend coming and training under the renown World Champion Pablo Silva.

I’ve been considering putting my 4 year old daughter into BJJ and learned about Pablo Silva from my sister in law. Both of her two kids and husband attend his studio daily. I went to go look at a few kids class and was so impressed. The studio is well maintained, very clean, and has a lot more to offer than just a mat. It has a full gym, locker rooms, upstairs parent observation area, and even a sauna.

Pablo Silva is a leader with world-class experience who leads this team by example - dont hesitate to give them a try.

Review №62

Whether you’re thinking of picking up a new activity to get in better shape or training to become a World Champion, this facility and the coaching by a a World Champion himself (Pablo Silva) can help you achieve that goal.There are many jiu jitsu schools in Houston but what sets this school apart from the rest is the cleanliness, professionalism and world class instruction from Pablo. I’ve been to many gyms and what you will see as a common practice is the head instructor teaching one to two classes per week and pawning off the responsibility of teaching to a brown/purple belt. The problem with this is the quality of the class can vary. At this gym, Pablo is there every SINGLE class teaching. He is patient and dedicated to honing the craft of each of his student. After class you can find him cleaning the mats, vacuuming it and sanitizing it so that he can come back the next class to do it all over again.Pablo is amazing with the kids class as well. Teaching the children the important values of discipline while making it fun and enjoyable for them.There is even a full gym upstairs with all of the equipment you can think of for strength and conditioning training. From free weights, treadmills, stair masters to squat racks, this place has it all. Oh yeah, did I mention that there’s a sauna as well? I can go on and on but if you are at all interested, come in for a free class and see it for yourself!

Review №67

My husband and I first became interested in training at Pablo Silvas jiu jitsu academy, because we wanted to train with the best black belt in Texas. After one class, we decided to stay because we were AMAZED by Pablos humility, his work ethic, and the high level of technique being taught. Pablo Silva truly cares about his students, he cares about his students becoming the best they can be, and he will give them everything he has to make that possible. He teaches us to train and think like a competitor, he teaches us world class technique, and he teaches us to win with our hearts. If you read his bio, you would have a small understanding of the sacrifice and dedication it took for him to become a multiple time world champion. Yet, Pablo Silva humbly welcomes you into his academy, he humbly welcomes you to come along side him and his team, and become a part of it all.

Pablo’s dojo is one of a kind. We were looking for my 6 years old boy to learn BJJ, but we got much more: discipline, hard work, merit, respect, camaraderie, and a lot of fun.

Pablo has taken my game to another level. I feel like Im learning the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu along with preparing for competition. If youre actively looking to improve your skills and want to do well in tournaments then this is the place for you. Last tournament 90% of our competitors earned Gold Medals!!!

I came from Ecuador almost a year ago and after settling I started looking for a BJJ academy. BJJ is very competitive in the US but not every academy offers a competitive-level training like Pablos. Plus teammates are respectful and friendly. Pablo leads with example and competes with his team which I admire the most. If you like BJJ make sure you visit. Btw the gym and the mat are amazing!

If you are looking for an elite Jiujitsu School you are in the right place!Ive been in different school in the way of my career as a jiu jitsu practitioner. Some of them good and some of them not that good. And what I found at PSBJJ is something that Ive never seen before the place in general is always clean, is beautiful and modern. You can enjoy the environment of the school as a student or as the person that is waiting for the student to finish the class. The bathrooms are always pristine as a women that means a lot, because Ive been in places where you dont even want to step a foot on the bathroom.If you are looking for a school with a high end competition Team this is the right place to go. The professor Pablo Silva is a World Champion and an active competition athlete. Trust me there is nothing better that learning from a professor that actually knows his system works. Classes are sharp, technical and full of competition oriented details.The team is also very friendly and open to help you improve. There is a large team of girls and a lot of them are high ranked but all of them are lethal. There is always going to be people pushing you to be your better self.Anyways if you are looking for the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in town. Dont doubt it this is the right place!

Jiujitsu is a way of life for many. And never has it been truer than with this team. You dont simply learn jiujitsu. Along the way, you will learn many things like teamwork, perseverance discipline, hard work and last but not the least, to fight with your heart both on and off the mats. That is the essence of what makes this a great team. You will learn lessons that will last you a lifetime.

Ive checked out almost every school in Houston and this is where I found my new home. This place has it all: An amazing new facility with gym, top notch training partners who are humble and always willing to teach, a really passionate and amazingly skilled world champion black belt in Pablo and an extremely impressive kids program to boot. If you want to try out jiu-jitsu for the first time or youd like to take your game to be pushed to the next level-then this is the place for you.

It is a great place to train, great teammates and coach.It is a progressive place and always looking forward to improve things and win.I have been training for almost 2 years, never thought I would be competing but the culture makes you more competitive, which is a good thing. Like it works for everything in life, you have to push yourself to get better.Pablo is dedicated to jiu jitsu and his accomplishments speaks out for him. It is his passion, and if you love what you do you never work a day in your life.The facility is state of the art, and well maintained.When my kids are 5 years old I will register them to learn jiu jitsu with Pablo.

I was searching for a Jiu-Jitsu school that was centered around growing talent, both children and adults. I needed a place where my 3 children and I could all train.Many academys may be good at one or the other, but Prof Pablo has created a unique curriculum that will allow your child to build the self confidence they need, while preparing them for competition, and life.What can I say about the adult class? I walked into the academy a no stripe white belt, within 2 months I found myself on the IBJJF mats, green as could be, but Prof Silva and his coaches were there for me, and I was able to capture Gold in my very first tournament! Ill never forget the experience! Thank you Prof Silva for providing a WORLD CLASS facility where students can achieve their dreams, and learn from The ONLY Black Belt WORLD CHAMPION in Texas!Bring yourself, bring your kids, and come train!See you on the mat! #PSBJJHQ

It’s a privilege to be apart of the PSBJJ team. There are many great BJJ schools in Texas and Houston specifically but the passion and level of professionalism Pablo puts into the team stands out the most. It’s a true and sincere desire to see his students improve on and off the mats everyday. I’m always amazed at how much hard work and dedication he puts into the school. On top of that actively competing and coaching 100’s of students at tournaments all throughout the year. In just a short amount of time since opening his own gym, PSBJJ has produced numerous world champions and elite level athletes.I personally have the option of training at atleast 25 different gyms which are much closer to my house but the further drive time is worth every minute on the mats at Pablo’s to me. In addition to the great leadership, the level of talent from white to black belt is incredible. No matter what day of the week or time you choose to train, the mats are always full. My teammates push me to be better and push further every time I train. It’s a family away from your family.

This review is for the kids program.My 6 year old son has been TRAINING here 3 times a week (for a year) and has loved every moment. I want to emphasize the TRAINING aspect vs. simply playing around with other kids and doing exercises for a class with 10 minutes at the end of real stuff as is the case with most extracurriculars for kids this age. This is not the Rex Kwon Do style studio that I have seen elsewhere that is geared for young kids. There is no background music. There are no songs or rehearsed oaths. Pablo does not wear a motivational speaker headset with mic. This is honest to goodness BJJ training with some games thrown in for good measure.At Pablo Silva BJJ each age/skill level follows a somewhat standard methodology. You can see this in the Saturday classes where a broad range of ages come together and do warm up exercises/drills as a cohesive unit. This helps build rapport in the school and an overall sense of family.Additionally, Pablos name isnt just on the building, he is personally involved with the training of the classes and instruction. We have been blown away by the professionalism, the cleanliness of the facility, and quality of training/care that is taken with each child. I feel safe, my son feels safe.It is a nice change of pace to see the kids challenged at an individual level and feel a true sense of pride and accomplishment when they do well because they truly earned it. This has helped my son with his interpersonal skills, increased his confidence, and helped with body control/motor skills. He is genuinely getting a workout in each class, which is not something I can say for any of the other sports we have tried or are currently doing (i.e. baseball/soccer).In summary, the time we spend here is not wasted. We never discuss skipping a session because we dont feel like going. It is a place we want to be and enjoy going to. As a parent, nothing else has come close to feeling as worth it, especially when you get to see the real sense of pride in your childs face when they know THEY have applied what they have learned and beaten their opponent. Its the epitome of a 1 on 1 sport, and there are up days and down days, but such is life and Ill take that variability over the alternative.

When I first started training jiu-jitsu I knew more or less what I was getting myself into since both of my brothers train.What I love most about training at Pablos is how personalized and intentional the training is. I trained for a couple of months at a different gym prior to moving to Houston. In my first couple of months, I loved using a smash pass, but I never really understood when to use the techniques taught in class. However, the very first time I trained at Pablos I was able to roll with him. He picked up on my game and challenged me to branch away out and try different techniques. It was easy for me to get complacent in my passing, but in order to grow, I had to be willing to try new positions and develop other strengths.After attending several classes at Pablos I understood that our drills were practiced in sequential order to build muscle memory. Once I realized this, I understood why even as white belts my teammates and I were picking up on techniques a lot faster than when I trained at other gyms. Each drill builds into the next one, making the entire process similar to putting a puzzle together. Through training at Pablos, I was able to understand when and how to use certain techniques versus others something I struggled with prior to joining Pablos. Id train for a few months but still couldnt identify what was happening during live training.Beyond the structure of the class and Pablos teaching technique, I love that hes very respectful of his students time and always starts and ends class on time. The facility has an upstairs waiting area, lockers, changing room, gym and sauna. Most impressively, the bathrooms are always cleaned and the gym is very well-maintained.Pablo has done an incredible job building a collaborative learning environment even for the women at his academy. When I find myself getting caught in a particular move or have trouble understanding something I can always talk to Pablo or one of my classmates after class regarding the move without question.When I am able to focus on jiu jitsu and train consistently it feels as though nothing outside of that matters. Its a great escape and parallels so closely to life. With jiu jitsu, like in life, you are going to face challenges and seasons when things arent ideal, but you keep working through the discomfort and with the right support (ie-the right team) you fight through. Theres always a way out, you just have to keep working until you find it..

I cannot say enough about this school, professor Pablo Silva is more than I could ask for 10x over! and the team and rhe comradeship as a whole? Ahhmazing. I joined because I wanted a place I could grow with and reconnect my competitive juices aa well as bring up my fitness & health in the meantime. I am in the best shape I have been since college and I am 47 this year. I was able to learn from the only adult level world champion in town! This eventually catapulted me into my own master’s level successes.Even more, my wife fell in love with Jiu Jitsu the following year after seeing how much fun I have been having the prior year! We’re able to have the best time traveling and competing with the team across the country. Finally, my 4 year old just had his first class today and he’s having a blast. This is a beautiful beginning of a whole family of killers 👌🏼😆.If you want world class training, you have it! If you want no frills training sessions, you got it up to 3 competition classes a week!!! That’s incredible. If you want a family atmosphere and a great learning fun center to get quality basics for your youth, you got it too.Needless to say, this place is more than we ever hoped it to be. If you eventually choose this place partly bc of this recommendation, remember to say hi to me in class, and you can thank me for sending you to the best teachings and not to mention the ONLY state of the art facility of this level in all of Texas. You can thank me with a smile and fist pump in class. I am the older fella competing with all the youths making no excuses 😂 - and hanging in there (some of the time anyways- haha).God bless and OSS!

I have been training BJJ for many years now and have become very picky about where I decide to train. My husband trained at PSBJJ for about 6 months before I did, I had major respect for him and his athletes but I was happy where I was. Pablo impressed me so much when he took the time to encouraged me and coach me before a match at a tournament when my coach was not there. He had probably 50+ students of his own at this tournament and still found the time to talk with me one on one too help me focus on my upcoming match. I made the move to to be a part of PSBJJ the next week.There are a million great things to say about Pablo Silva the man. But Im going to talk about the 2 main reasons I am so happy with my decision. All you need to do is Google his name to see the accolades but that doesnt always translate into a good professor. Well lets just start with the fact that he trains World Champions...the proof is in the pudding.But what I love is that although Pablo competes in a smaller weight class he can adapt to body type, injury, strength level and belt level to teach you. You are not just getting one sized education. He teaches technique in class that can be done by all but is very open to questions about what game/techniques are working for you. Stuck on a thought? Just ask him! (OR one of the other several black or brown belts that are always on the mats with us daily. There is no shortage of upper belts to train with)Now lets talk LADIES!!! I have trained at several gyms during my journey and one thing that is typically lacking is women training partners... At PSBJJ I am never on the mat with less than 3 woman and the number just goes up from there! And all of these ladies compete! 🤯All that to say I highly recommend Pablo Silva BJJ

His last name might be Silva, but he’s out here winning gold.In fact, he’s winning them so much that he probably needs to pass that champion energy down to his students before he turns into some kind of Oscar trophy.And that’s why I go to Pablo Silva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here in H-Town, to get me some of that competitive spirit that this topnotch school is known for. Rumor has it that you can smell the victory from miles away.....With Pablo, jiu jitsu transforms from being just a hobby, to a way of life. Once you set foot in his newly-remodeled gym (see gorgeous photos here), he already makes you want to be a winner. Apart from being one of the highest-ranking, well-medaled instructors around, he’s an inspiring coach with a big personality. You know, the kind that doesnt throw chairs at opponents.No amount of takedowns can take this man down. He even competes alongside his students (and wins gold left and right), so you know he can definitely walk the talk. What. A. Pro. Very badass, very knowledgeable of his craft, and very thorough…So if you’re down to win gold, recreationally strangle people, and occasionally putting them to sleep, then Pablo’s your guy. Hope to catch you on our perfectly clean, perfectly white mats soon!

I joined Pablo Silva BJJ roughly 1 year ago. I came from another jiujitsu academy because I wanted to compete in jiujitsu tournaments like I had previously done years ago. Prior to coming to my first class I researched other academies in Houston by looking at overall team trophies consistency in tournaments throughout Texas. What I found out through that research was PSBJJ was consistently winning or placing in the top 3 of all teams. That told me that not only does the team do well all over but his athletes were winning! I knew this was the place I wanted to be before I even took my first class. I wanted to be in a room full of WINNERS! And not winners just on the mats but winners mentally! PSBJJ is home to 11 World Champions in different belt ranks!!My first class was a Monday night competition class. It was tough! I wasnt use to that level of training and talent in an academy. We trained hard and pushed ourselves! I feel in love during that 1.5 hr long class! A few months later my wife left her prior jiujitsu academy as well and she began training hard with the woman of PSBJJ.Over this past year I have grown in many ways! My jiujitsu has gotten for technical and aggressive! But I also have lost 18 lbs. When I started at PSBJJ I was 208lbs and now I am walking around at 190 lbs!Pablos academy has been more a le to offer me more than just winning tournaments. I have meet some amazing people from all over Houston. Many of who have become great friends! Pablos academy offers more than jiujitsu. It offers community through hard training towards a common goal. Iron sharpens iron.If you are looking to learn jiujitsu as a hobby, as a form of competition, looking to change life goal etc this is an excellent choice!! I started jiujitsu in 2006 and am currently a purple belt. This is by far the toughest group of teammates Ive trained with!

Ive been training BJJ for almost 5 years now, but only recently started at Pablo Silva BJJ. The gym is beautiful and always spotless (even the bathrooms!), all the students are friendly and welcoming, and Professor Pablo teaches every class. If you are in Houston and serious about competing at IBJJF, then PSBJJ is where you need to be!

Review №95

The Pablo Silva BJJ Gym is geared towards high level instruction and competitive sport jiujitsu. It is an IBJJF-recognized academy that has numerous black belt students and world champions that train there daily.The instructors are approachable and very knowledgeable. They spend the time introducing brand new students to the sport as well as working with seasoned, experienced students. The student population ranges from 3 years old to 60-ish years old and there are multiple classes throughout the day, six days per week. Classes always finish promptly allowing for a quick return to work or school. Team uniforms are available for purchase.The facilities include a large mat space on the first floor and a second, smaller mat space upstairs. Mats are swept and disinfected after every class. The upstairs also has several dressing rooms and lockers for storing one’s gear. There are separate recently remodeled restrooms with showers. The drinking fountain has a spout for water bottles. There is a full weight gym with cardio equipment and a turf run for sleds and battle rope work.The academy plans for local and US, and international tournaments together and there are various social events (I.e., BBQs, gatherings, dinners) throughout the year.I rate this gym 5 stars and it is my chosen team since moving to Houston, Texas.

Moving to Pablos wasnt only the best BJJ decision Ive made, but also, without exaggeration, one of the best decisions in my life.Im incredibly happy with my teammates, professor, the training itself, and our state of the art facility. Pablo is the type of coach that, if you know hes in your corner you can win any match. He believes in each and every competitor more than we believe in ourselves! He has sacrificed so much and worked incredibly hard to become a multiple time World Champion and has created other World class athletes. With his mentality and coaching I know I can achieve some of my biggest dreams. This is the gym to be if you want hard competition style training and aspire to be greater everyday. I love it here and love my PSBJJ family. I wouldnt trade it for the world🖤

I came to Professor Pablo in a very tough stage of my Jiu Jitsu and life really. As things in my old academy were changing and I simply couldnt see myself there if I wanted to evolve I was on the brink of putting Jiu Jitsu on the back seat. After a friend of mine told me that Professor Pablo Silvas Academy was a perfect place for me to pursue my goals and to be around like minded people I visited. The experience was incredible I loved it. Professor Pablo is a champion not only through what he has accomplished in the sport but through the way he carries himself and leads the academy. Everyone sits on an even plate theres no favoritism and Professor Pablo always makes sure we are progressing even if he takes time out of his own training to do so. I drive 120 miles a day in total from my home to the academy and back. I wake up way earlier than most people simply because the experience and high level Jiu Jitsu he delivers is incredible. This all trickles down to the people training under him and the children. The level at the academy is high but the beauty of it is that I am surrounded by regular people and plenty with great lives outside of Jiu Jitsu. Professor Pablo has been able to help people excel at a high rate to make anyone not only be a better competitor but a better person physically and mentally. He talks to the team as one , we are all a family. I have learned years worth of material in the few months I have been with Professor Pablo. Things I take with me off the mat that have helped me become a better athlete, student , and person. Its still unreal to me that I am exposed to this kind of training daily. Theres multiple good academies in Houston but only one great academy and that is Pablo Silva BJJ HQ. I wouldnt drive as much as I do anywhere else. This is the best place to unleash your potential and all Professor Pablo asks for is effort. Come and experience a state of the art two story training facility , high level Jiu Jitsu training and development unlike anywhere else for you and your family.

Pablo Silva is one of the very few martial arts instructors that I have ever known and have the honor and privilege of training under. He truly embodies the meaning of being a black belt and a man of integrity. I highly recommend this school to anyone interested training and learning in the art of Brazilian jiu jitsu, be it self-defense, fitness, or competition in a family orientated atmosphere with a complete and well rounded curriculum.Thank you for all you have taught me so far, there is so much to learn under your tutelage and thank you for your great care you take with all of your students.
