Love this academy. There are three reasons for this: 1) It starts at the top. Professors Hugo Munoz and Victor Perales are gentlemen, who are so friendly and welcoming, with such a deep knowledge of BJJ that it will make your head spin. Coach Hugo and his team teach by breaking everything down to its most basic form, making it easy to follow the technique being taught, and in such a way that it is relatable to your level, whether you are a white belt or with years of training. 2) It is a place where positive reinforcement and encouraged reign. Everyone, without exception, all the coaches including the other students, are so helpful and friendly. No one hordes the knowledge. Everyone is so giving and helpful with their time and skill level. White belts do not feel "out-of-it" since the upper belts are always helping with technique and improvement. 3) One is not forced to compete. You are made welcome at the academy whether you are there for conditioning and fitness, for self-defense, or to overcome personal obstacles, whatever it is...and if you do want to compete you have, at your disposal, all the resources you could ever wish for! I feel so fortunate to have found Silverback BJJ, Professor Hugo Munoz, his coaches. I would put Silverback up against any other gym (teaching style and the speed at which students grasp each technique taught). Silverback Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a truly world class facility.

A Place for Growth and Excellence on amd off the mat. This jiu-jitsu academy is truly exceptional, offering more than just world-class training—it provides an environment where everyone can thrive, both on and off the mats. The coaches here are the heart and soul of the academy, bringing a unique blend of expertise, patience, and genuine care to every class. They are not only skilled in teaching the technical aspects of jiu-jitsu but also deeply committed to fostering an inclusive atmosphere for all, including neurodivergent individuals. One of the most remarkable aspects of this academy is its impact on children. My kids have experienced incredible growth here, gaining confidence, discipline, and resilience that carry over into their lives outside of training. The supportive environment helps them feel empowered and valued, setting a solid foundation for success in school, sports, and social settings. For adults and kids, the training is versatile and caters to a wide range of goals. Whether you're looking for a casual workout, a way to learn practical self-defense, or intense preparation for tournaments and competitions, this academy has something for everyone. The curriculum is well-structured, and the coaches provide individualized attention, ensuring that students of all skill levels feel challenged and supported. The community at this academy is equally impressive. From the youngest kids to seasoned competitors, everyone encourages and uplifts one another, creating a space where personal growth and camaraderie go hand in hand. If you're searching for a jiu-jitsu academy that delivers high-quality training while prioritizing inclusivity, personal development, and a welcoming environment, this is the place for you. It's more than just a gym—it's a community where you can grow, achieve your goals, and build lasting relationships.

Silverback is one of the best jiujitsu gyms in DFW! Every experience I’ve had here has been great! Everyone is friendly the coaches are super knowledgeable, skilled and incredibly helpful, they are genuinely there for you! If you’ve ever wanted to try Jiujitsu look no further, try a trial class, I promise you'll be hooked!

Just finished my first month with this gym and really glad I found them. It can be intimidating to enter male dominated spaces as a girl but they were super welcoming. If you’re looking for a gym or on the fence about anything, definitely give their trial week a try. Great guys, great atmosphere, can’t recommend them enough.

Hugo, was my high school wrestling coach as well as Bjj instructor. He is a great coach and an even better man. He works his tail off to be the best, which makes everyone else in the gym better. He helped mold me into the person I am today. Biggest take away from Silver Back would be the discipline.

Great experience training here over the past few months! All of the coaches are friendly and happy to train experienced practitioners as well as beginners (myself). Clean, family atmosphere in the gym. I would recommend anyone looking for a gym in the area to check this place out.

Awesome Jitsu spot. I just moved here so I googled spots around me and had a couple to choose from, read a review of another Texas transplant and it has not disappointed. Always new techniques to learn and great Wrestling classes as well. I definitely found my new Jitsu Home.

In town on a roadtrip and wanted to get some training in. Messaged the gym over IG and they immediately got back to me and said I was welcome to come in for the 6AM NoGi class. The facilities were great with good mat space, showers and parking. The instructor, Victor, led a great class which involved wrestling, leglocks, positional sparring and rounds after. Great place to train if you’re in the area

Hands down the best jiu jitsu/wrestling school!!! We had tried several schools closer to home, but once we went here, we knew this was the one. This place is so worth the farther drive that I would pack all 4 of my kids just to go here. No regrets choosing this school for my boys to learn. The coaches are awesome with kids and learn so much from great teachers. Feels like family. Everyone needs to give this place a try!

Hands down this gym is beyond amazing! My family and I love it here! Coach Hugo and Vic are extremely helpful and have great knowledge not only in Jiujitsu but wrestling as well! They also run an amazing kids program if you’re looking to build your kids confidence this is the place to go! and can’t forget about coach Marilu! She teaches the all women class! Hands down one of the best women coach in the DFW! Definitely 5 star Gym!

I’d have to say with there being several quality BJJ schools in the metroplex I’d rate Silverback BJJ at the top of them all. To me quality instruction is of utmost importance but what find just as valuable is quality culture. The culture of Silverback BJJ is second to none. Hugo and Victor are to thank for both of these qualities as they’ve set the tone with their extensive knowledge combined with their excellent way of teaching the techniques while also making it fun. The culture of this gym is so easy to integrate into as the instructors have set a great culture temperature that helps everyone join in and enjoy themselves. The more advanced students are also helpful and help you learn along the way as well. The free grappling (or rolling) is always fun and competitive but I never experienced any egos there, only people willing to learn as well as help you grow. Regardless of your age or gender this is a great school and environment.

Update: Silverback has occupied more space and has new mats and showers. This is a great place to train! I'm just getting started and this is the gym that I joined. I'm impressed that they work well with all levels of kids and adults.

I’ve been training here for over 6 months after spending over two years at another facility. The gym and coaches here are knowledgeable, personable, and a pleasure to train with. The gym is full of great people with a healthy attitude in training and competition. Definitely plan on training here long term and would advise the same to anyone who trains.

These coaches are not ordinary. They have passion in what and how they teach Jujitsu. They are family oriented and work well in training from ages 4 and up. They focus and take time to ensure the kids understand the techniques that are taught. The gym is kept clean and organized. All belts are earned and not just given out. You get more than what you pay for. I have no complaints. Truly one of the best gyms.

Great family environment. The coaches are great with kids. My son has been going for over a year now and he loves it. I also train here and have learned alot. 3 adult class options Monday through Thursday. If you're thinking about starting or want your kids to learn they are very beginner friendly and will ease you in. Don't wait start today.

This jiu jistu academy is beneficial to my entire family! We have been attending since the opening day. My two boys really enjoy the wrestling classes they offer. I enjoy the schedule, and appreciate all the available classes they are able to teach. The instructors are very helpful and take good care of the kids. The feeling on the mat is homelike. My family and I appreciate it! Great gym!

Lifelong Mentors Hugo and Victor have truly guided my life through Martial arts. Teaching me to be my best self. They are great with teaching people on and off the mats and always have a good time doing it. I’m so happy that they finally opened their own school, and can’t wait for what’s to come. If you have any interest in martial arts this is the place to go in the Fort Worth area.

I moved here from San Diego CA (the Mecca of BJJ) and I have to say this place is high quality Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are well versed in the sport and spend time on technique. The environment is very welcoming to everyone of all levels. If you’re looking for a great place to train for yourself or your kids this is the place!!! OSS
