Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu develops technical grappling skills and mental discipline for students aged 5 to adult. Our structured classes focus on ground fighting techniques, positional control, and submission holds. With separate sessions for kids, teens, and adults, we emphasize progressive skill development while maintaining a fun, non-competitive environment for beginners.
Muay Thai Kickboxing
Muay Thai training builds striking proficiency using fists, elbows, knees, and shins for self-defense and fitness. We offer age-specific classes with controlled sparring for older students, emphasizing proper technique, cardiovascular conditioning, and defensive strategies in both traditional and Dutch-style instruction formats.
Submission Wrestling
Submission wrestling classes teach practical grappling techniques without the gi for real-world self-defense applications. Our all-levels sessions focus on takedowns, positional dominance, and submission techniques, suitable for students seeking practical street defense skills or competitive tournament preparation.
Kids Martial Arts
Children's martial arts programs cultivate focus, coordination, and confidence through age-specific instruction. We offer separate classes for 5-8 year olds and 8-12 year olds with developmentally appropriate techniques, using games and partner drills to make learning enjoyable while teaching discipline and respect.

The place is ok, but lack of safety regulation.
the coach let people partner randomly each other in a muay thai class, there are so many people in the class and a beginer might partner with a more experienced player, so the beginner is very easy to get injured, I don't recommend this place if you are a beginner for muay thai, the class is crowded and lack of regulation, one can easily get injured.

Started with no experience, little over half a year into training now and honestly the best investment Ive made for my health & wellness. First off, the Covid protocols from day 1 have been enforced from the strictest guidelines (training outside in the parking lot, mandatory temperature checks, hand sanitizing, and mask on at all times) to current guidelines. Most of the students here are fully vaccinated and STILL wear mask as advised.
Second, the cleanliness of the academy is grade A. Mats are swept and sanitized daily. Bathrooms cleaned daily. Floors and chairs cleaned daily. Also proper

I've been taking classes at Silanoe for about 3-4 months now, mostly jiu jitsu but also a handful of muay thai classes here and there. As a beginner, woman, and out of shape thanks to a year+ of quarantine, starting martial arts can be really scary and intimidating. I checked out a couple bjj gyms in the area but ultimately chose Silanoe because of the welcoming and supportive environment Professor Gino fosters. You can tell they take safety and cleanliness super seriously. Mats are cleaned and disinfected multiple times a day. The instructor is always walking around making sure everyone is performing

I started going to Silanoe Martial Arts since February 2021. I was looking for a new academy which follows the LA County Covid19 safety guidelines to keep their business open. I had found Silanoe Martial Arts having all of their classes ( from kids to adult Bjj, no gi bjj, Muay Thai) held outside under a tent. Everyone would be wearing a mask for the whole class. They would take your temperature and spray hand sanitizer before every class and clean after every class They gave you an option of drilling with a live partner or a grappling dummy.

Just started jiujitsu a few weeks ago. I was a bit hesitant to join. I've never done any type of martial arts and felt intimidated coming in with no prior experience. Professor Gino is very professional and takes the time to help out each of his students. I would definitely recommend this place if you're considering trying out jiujitsu.
