Here’s What UFC Veteran Tim Creduer Had To Say About Training Here…

I’ve known and been training with Jason Selva and Selva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost 10 years. Jason Selva and his team have been very instrumental in my growth and development as a  professional MMA Fighter. The moves and wealth of knowledge he has show have been amazing. Anytime that I’m in the Los Angeles area I always make sure to stop by Selva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts.

On June 3rd, 2011, one of our students, John Fogarty, lost almost  40LBS and became a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion after only 1 ½ years of training!

Jason, I wanted to thank you and the guys at Selva BJJ for the progress I’ve made in the last two years. Like a lot of forty year old guys with young families and kids, I’d slowly lost the time and the motivation to get into the gym as I packed on the pounds. In October, 2009 I visited your school & decided to get going in BJJ that day instead of waiting till I got back in shape. My initial fears about getting beaten senseless by the advanced (and much healthier) students were put to rest quickly. The instructors and other students push hard but are still very conscious to adjust the effort based on the student they’re working with. You, Binhtri and the other instructors have created a fun and pumped-up environment where the team and students all still follow traditional rules and etiquette. The long and the short is that I’ve learned a lot, really come to love BJJ, gotten strong again and dropped 40 lbs in the process!!! Learning BJJ, participating in tournaments and having the camaraderie again is awesome. The competition team reminds you how much fun it is to compete (even for old guys); and all the tournaments we can prepare for always gives you a great goal to shoot for and keep you focused. I know I’ll be competing for a long time and am really excited to see how far many of the talented young guys in our school can go in years to come

  World Champion Black Belt Instructors

  At SELVA BJJ all of our coaches are accomplished professional fighters with titles earned in the ring, on the mat or in the cage. They have tested their skills in the highest levels of competition and know what works and doesn’t work in a real combat situation – no theories, just proven and tested facts that they can vouch for themselves. Our instructors can teach you what to expect when adrenaline goes through your body and how to deal with real fatigue as it sets in during a real fight – from their own firsthand experience.

  Student Safety

  A common misconception about training in martial arts is that you need to get into crazy and wild sparring matches. FALSE. At SELVA BJJ, most of our students have families and jobs and can’t afford to leave class injured or with black eyes! The grappling and striking sparring that is done here at  SELVA BJJ is always done in a controlled environment and only when you are ready. Your first sparring session will take place after you graduate from our beginner curriculum and will only be sparring with an instructor or advanced student, so that you can get comfortable and understand how things work. The idea is to train smart and have fun!

  Nutritional Guidance

  Everybody knows that proper nutrition is essential to overall health and well being, but sometimes it’s difficult to figure out where to start. Eating a proper, nutritious diet offers many health benefits that keep you mentally and physically up to par. Proper nutrition doesn’t mean starving yourself and it’s not a diet. Diets don’t work. Instead you must focus on a lifestyle that balances lean proteins, carbs and fats. At SELVA BJJ we understand this and devise plans for our students at no extra cost.

RAVE REVIEWS FROM OUR STUDENTS!!!

Great place to train and learn BJJ.  I’ve been involved in the Martial Arts and BJJ world for over 20 years and I have been to almost every BJJ School that I can find. Selva BJJ is one of my favorite places. The place is clean and the head black belt, Master Jason Selva does an excellent job of making sure that ALL of the students learn, not just the natural athletes. There is also a shower! WOW! So rare in BJJ schools.  The head black belt is also the World Submission Wrestling ADCC US National Champion. That is basically the equivalent to the Olympics. If you live in the San Gabriel Valley or Alhambra, you gotta check this place out!!!

In a nutshell, Selva BJJ is a very positive place for any child or adult to join I first came into Selva’s after being exposed to jiujitsu at CSULA. It was there I was told of the gym. After some contemplation and visiting other gyms, I decided to join Selva’s. For me, it was a good decision for several reasons. The staff and students are very respectful and make the process of learning the sport easier. There were many instances where I couldn’t get certain techniques, so the instructors took the little extra time needed to make sure I understood them. That little extra time impressed me because it showed they are student oriented. In addition, through the very rigorous training and sparing at Selva’s I lost 30 lbs and 4 inches off my waist. Mind you, the warm-ups are REALLY challenging, but I assure you for those who push through will not only find themselves in better shape, but also find themselves more confident.

I’ve been an avid student at Selva Bjj for almost a year and enjoy every aspect of it. The welcoming and supportive atmosphere takes an effect. From the instructors to the structure of the program this academy provides for their students. Within the first month I received rapid results in my weight loss, athleticism and personal well being. I am so glad I was referred by a friend and stumbled in here when I did. I have a background in wrestling but even though I knew how to work out, I just couldn’t get motivated.  After wrestling in the Olympics in 2008 I gained a few pounds, lol. Thanks to Selva BJJ I am 45lbs lighter, a national champ and much happier!
