Private
Private class is a one-on-one class in which the focus of the instructor is 100% on that one student. The focus of the class will be pre-determined at the time that it is requested (Self-defense, BJJ techniques, Introduction, MMA, etc.) These classes are the most beneficial for the student who wants to advance quickly in knowledge and belts. At the Silva Academy the private classes can be taught by Master Aloisio Silva, his black belts, or any instructor authorized by the Silva Academy. For packages and pricing please see Pricing.
Semi-Private
Seme-Private class is a small group of students (maximum of 6 students) that together request a class. The focus of the class will be pre-determined at the time that it is requested (Self-defense, BJJ techniques, Introduction, MMA, etc.) and it is recommended that all participants are at a similar level of expertise to maximize the benefit of the class. For packages and pricing please see Pricing.

Seminars
Seminars can be either 1 or 2 day events that provide a great opportunity for extended learning with Master Aloisio Silva or instructors from other Silva Academies or Associates. See Seminars for information on upcoming seminars.
Tutorials
The tutorial program is a combination package of 1-3 private classes per week and group classes designed to create champions by maximizing the learning process of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques. This program is designed to be the most beneficial to the student because it allows the student to learn technique through one-on-one guidance with the private, then it allows the student to apply that knowledge in the group class and explore that experience of rolling with different students, experiencing resistance, etc and then the student can return to the one-on-one guidance to address any questions/clarifications that may be result from the group class.
