Hello!

I’m Jason Selva, the head instructor of Selva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Selva BJJ). I grew up in Los Angeles and I created the Selva BJJ gyms in order to help out the local community everybody who has a desire to improve their life! Here at Selva BJJ every student gets individual attention. We will show you how to fight and get you the physique you deserve. Even though we are 5-time national champions, many of our students do not compete. In fact, many of our members join simply because they are out of shape. While most BJJ and MMA schools only cater to “naturals”, Selva BJJ teaches every student equally. I GIVE YOU MY WORD that me and my team of instructors will change YOUR life or child’s forever – as we have for the countless people who have joined our school. We love to see people reach their inner potential.I’ve been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over a decade. In that time I have fought in some of the most prestigious tournaments in the world In 2009, I was a ADCC USA National Champion –winning my entire weight class in under 3 minutes, I submitted all of my opponents and was not scored on. I qualified to represent the United States in Barcelona at the ADCC World Championship. I know what it takes to train like and become a champion. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and help you reach your goals. Below are some of my accomplishments:

JASON SELVA’S TITLES

 

• 2013 Las Vegas Open Bronze Medalist
• 2013 NAGA Silver Medalist Pro Divison

My personal achievement pale in comparison to what I’ve have able to achieve as a coach and a martial arts instructor.I LOVE teaching and helping people accomplish their goals – that is why Selva BJJ was founded.

Whoever you are, Selva BJJ is ready to help you begin your amazing journey. Whether you are looking to lose weight, learn self defense or want to compete, we have a program that can meet your needs. Our Award Self Defense and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program has been used by Military, Special Forces and Law Enforcement for years! Throughout my extensive grappling career I have developed a system that works for ANYBODY. We have an easy to follow format that will fit your hectic, boring, fun, exciting, weird, amazing life. Most importantly we are a FAMILY who is accepting welcoming of all people. We pride our selves on focusing helping you achieve YOUR potential!

ANYONE CAN TRAIN HERE!

We have classes for men, women and children. Whatever you fitness level or experience, Selva Bjj is ready to get you started! Most of our students have had no previous training in Martial Arts.

It’s never too late to get in shape! The average age of our students ranges from 5 years to 52 years old! There is no experience required to start training.

If you’ve never had an exercise program in your life this is the place for you! You do not have to be in shape to begin training at our martial arts school- most our students were not in shape when they Joined SELVA BJJ. Our instructors have many years of specific training in physical fitness and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We will develop a program specifically designed to meet your needs!

 What do we teach?

We are a 6-Time National Champion team. We offer Black Belt Instruction in Brazilian Jitsu and world class striking, wrestling and submission grappling.  Why train striking at one gym, jiujitsu at another gym, self defense at another gym… when you can do it all at Selva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!

Now don’t confuse us with other “MMA”  or “BJJ” gyms… most gyms that claim to teach MMA are really just “fly by night” gyms that are trying to cash in on the UFC’s popularity.

What do I mean by that?  There are so many schools popping up left and right. They have no certified instructors in any discipline. Most of the time they have only been open for a few months and soon close a few months after that….

Many of our instructors are active competitors and offer only the most innovated and up to date instruction.

Sadly, most “MMA”  and BJJ schools are severely lacking proper training and credentials in anything…

TOP 5 REASONS MOST BJJ & MMA SCHOOLS DON’T WORK:

NO STRUCTURE- When you start out at SELVA BJJ, you will be going through a special beginner program. In these classes, you will be learning from an specific and organized curriculum that balances all of the essential grappling moves you will need to defend yourself and advance to the higher classes. This course is designed to work at a pace for easy absorption of the material. The beginner’s class is also designed to get people who are out of shape into great shape!

NO CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS – All of our head coaches are certified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructors and are known throughout the world for their victories on the jiu jitsu mat. Head coach Jason Selva won the West Coast ADCC Trials, setting a record by submitting all of his opponents in under 3 minutes! He qualified to represent USA in the World ADCC in Barcelona! The ADCC is the Olympics of grappling-the most prestigious BJJ event-held only once every two year. There are 5 weight classes and only 16 grapplers being invited from around the world per weight class.

NO STUDENT SAFETY – Many MMA and BJJ schools mix you right in with the advanced class during your first experience! How would be it possible run a class of advanced students, many who have been training 3 to 4 years and and then teach beginners who have their first class at the same time! People end up getting injured and not the advanced students or beginners end up benefiting

NO PERSONAL ATTENTION- Your workouts are by yourself, for yourself, to yourself… There is no guidance whatsoever.

NO 60 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE- Many schools are not confident in their program and cannot guarantee results.

Selva Brazilian Jiu Jitsu  (SELVA BJJ)		VS	Most “MMA” & “Martial Arts” Schools
	World Class Striking — Our striking coaches Jamie Yager, Juan Cardena and Roberto Barajas have been coached and trained around the world. Jamie was a fomrer contender on the UFC Television Show on Spike TV. Jamie currently trains under Master Rafael Cordeiro trainer to UFC Super Stars Anderson Silva and Anderson Silva.                        Juan is certified Jeet Kune DO Instructor under Pete Jacobs, one of Bruce Lee’s Orignal Students.                                       This unique mixutre of styles has allowed for Selva BJJ to have the most unique and effective striking program in California.	S T R I K I N G		Mediocre Striking — A lot of MMA gyms and BJJ gyms pretend they have striking programs; however, in reality there is no striking whatsoever. What ends up happening is that you end up in a watered down “cardio” striking or wannabe karate program and you end
	World Class Takedowns — You will find that what sets SELVA BJJ apart from most Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA Schools is the quality of high level wrestlers and judo practicioners. We train complete grapplers, who are well versed on the ground and in takedowns!                                             As a competition team SELVA BJJ is known for its competition ability. Opponents know that if they are stargin accross from a SELVA student there is a good chance they are getting slammed!                                        It is not uncommon for Olympic level Wrestlers to come teach and cross train at SELVA BJJ. Many of the SELVA coaches themselves are Division I Wrestlers, Olympians and Judo Black Belts.	TA K E D O W N S		Sub Par Takedowns — What happens at most MMA schools is that a traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach teaches takedowns. Everybody knows that many regular Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practioners do not practice ANY takedowns. Out of all the grappling styles traditional Brazilan Jiu Jitsu does not focus on the takedown, their specialty lies when they hit the ground and hunt for submissions, not before the ground! It’s easy to spot out when a school does only Brazilian Jiu Jitsu…they start sparring their knees!  That is not realistic for self defense or competition!
	World Class Ground Grappling — All of our head instructors are certified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belts and are known worldwide for their victories on the mat, for example, David Avellan’s win over Rener Gracie. Two of our head instructors, Marcos and David Avellan, are Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) veterans – with David being invited four times and finishing 3rd in the World in 2009! The ADCC is by far the world’s most prestigious grappling event – only held once every two years, with five weight classes and only sixteen grapplers being invited from around the world per weight class. David has defeated several world champions, including ADCC World Champion Xande Ribeiro! On our teaching staff we also have FILA Submission Wrestling World Champion in Jason Soares! FILA is the same organization that coordinates Olympic Wrestling – it is the second most respected organization in grappling (second only to ADCC) and Jason took home the world title in Serbia 2011.	GR A P P L I N G		Kimono Grappling or Poor Ground Grappling — Normally it is rare to find quality ground grappling but in the south Florida area there are some good grapplers to choose from. However, be aware that a lot of them are not qualified in the previous two areas! And also keep in mind that many of these grapplers train with the kimono (traditional uniform) and if fighting and self-defense is your goal – STAY AWAY. In south Florida, you are not going to encounter people wearing thick jackets. To train for self-defense, t-shirt and shorts is far more realistic. Also keep in mind though, there are still some MMA schools with non-qualified grapplers… and more will be popping up soon with the popularity of the UFC on the rise.
	World Class Fighting — What good is knowing striking, takedowns, and ground grappling if you can’t put it together! At FFA, our head instructors are decorated professional fighters with titles earned in the ring or cage. They have been hit in the face before and know what works and doesn’t work in a real fight – no theories, just proven facts that they can vouch for themselves. Our instructors can teach you what to expect as the adrenaline goes through your body and how to handle real fatigue as it sets in during a real confrontation – from their own firsthand experience. We have coached law enforcement seminars, military seminars, and even on the UFC Ultimate Fighter Show (twice).	FI G H T I N G		Mediocre or Non-Existent Fight Experience — If you have been reading this report, then you understand that hardly any schools are qualified in the three major areas of fighting… which means they are not fully qualified to teach true mixed martial arts or complete self defense… period. And be careful with the instructors who possess certifications under respected fighters but have not entered the cage or ring themselves! People like this, in my opinion, are completely nonqualified to teach MMA or self defense. It would be like taking swimming lessons from an instructor who has never jumped in the water himself! Knowing that this instructor was taught on a chalk board by a swimming Olympic Gold Medalist wouldn’t make me feel any more comfortable about his abilities! Furthermore, what does that tell you about his commitment to learning fighting and self defense? Fighting and self-defense are not all about techniques – it is also very mental… and someone who has never fought is missing out on a big piece of it. And remember, instructors with only competition grappling experience… have ZERO fight experience! They are not the same! They know the difference, that is why they have only competed in grappling!
	An Organized MMA Ranking System — FFA provides an organized curriculum and has thrown out the old ways of picking up ranks in different martial arts and trying to combine it on your own… a few years ago the FFA head instructors sat down and developed the ultimate style of fighting and self-defense – the Freestyle Fighting System, which incorporates the three major areas of fighting into one system. Our ranking system is strict and only people deserving of being promoted will earn it. Along with the MMA rank, our students are co-promoted in no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.	MM A R A N K		No MMA Ranking Whatsoever — From my personal knowledge, we are the only gym in Miami with a Mixed Martial Arts ranking system. Many gyms that advertise “MMA” are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu schools that throw punches and kicks once in a while – and promote through their kimono BJJ ranking system… The BJJ ranking system has been known for years to have a very poor wrestling and striking curriculum… so if they are claiming to be qualified in MMA based solely on their BJJ rank… ask them who coached them in kickboxing and what was their credentials… ask them who they learned how to wrestle from – if they say another BJJ person, this doesn’t leave them off the hook!
	A Structured Beginner Course — When you start out at FFA, you will be going through a special beginner friendly course. In this class, you will be learning from an organized curriculum that balances striking, takedowns, and ground grappling. The classes are designed to work at a pace that beginner’s can absorb. The beginner’s class also takes into account that you may be totally out of shape – one of its principal designs is to get you into good shape and allow you to train harder in the next level.	BE G   I N N E R S		Straight to the Wolves — Many martial art programs mix you in with the regular class on your first day! Just think about it… how can someone teach a class of people who have been training for two to three years… and then teach you your first class at the same time? That is like getting a calculus and algebra class in one room and trying to teach both at the same time! Either the advanced guys are missing out or the beginners are missing out…
	Student Safety — A common misconception about MMA training is that to learn effective MMA, you have to get into wild and crazy sparring matches. FALSE. At FFA, most of our students have families and jobs and can’t afford to leave the gym with black eyes! The grappling and sparring that is done at FFA is done with utmost control and in only when you are ready. Your first sparring sessions take place after you graduate from the beginner course and in the beginning you would only be sparring with an instructor or advanced student, so that you can get comfortable. The idea is to train smart and have fun. Only our amateur and professional fighters do some hard sparring – but because they have to prepare for a cage fight. Safety is our number one concern.	SA F E T Y		Brawling Time! — Many MMA schools have this misconception that the only way to learn how to fight is to put on boxing gloves and swing for the fences! This is not true… and actually can be counter-productive, besides dangerous. Many gyms also lack the technique to spar with control and spar hard to compensate for their lack of technique. Brawling during training proves nothing and only hinders the learning process and injures people. If you really want to brawl, save it for the street or in the cage.
	Weapons Training — After you graduate from our beginner course, you become eligible to train in our weapons class – which teaches how to use and defend against weapons such as knifes, sticks and guns. Our weapons instructors are Chevenne Moreno and Kevin Perez – both experienced martial artists and experts with firearms. Both men, along with Coaches Johan Alvarez and Jorge Ayala	WE A P O N S		No Weapons Training — The vast majority of MMA gyms have no weapons training… and the one or two gyms that do offer weapons training offer very unrealistic techniques. If self defense is important to you – then this is a serious issue.
	30 Day Free Trial — 30 Days Free, Free Uniform, Free Private Lesson, Free Video, and nothing to buy or sign! Can’t beat that!	TR I A L		Only One Free Class — Good luck finding another quality gym willing to give you a free month, free uniform, free video, and free private lesson!
	60 Day Money Back Guarantee — What could be better than a 30 day free trial? How about a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee!	GU A R A N T E E		No Guarantees — Even harder than finding a great free trial is a guarantee! We are the ONLY gym in the country to offer a money back guarantee!
	Amazing Facility — FFA is one of a kind. An 12,000 square foot facility with four large mat areas, a full size boxing ring, a cage, twelve heavy bags, a weight room, a Pro Shop, men and women locker rooms, showers, and much more! Plus, we are the most clean school in Miami – we disinfect our mats three times a day with hospital grade disinfectant. We also have a cleaning crew which cleans everything every morning and night.	FA C I L I T Y		Inadequate or Dirty Facility — If you are going to learn self-defense or MMA, you are going to need certain things. For instance, for striking you will need heavy bags, punch mitts, and a boxing ring or padded wall. If there isn’t a boxing ring or padded wall – then you can’t properly learn how to strike. Why? When was the last time you got into a fight in the middle of a football field? Where ever you fight, you will encounter boundaries – such as walls, fences, cars, and even groups of people like in a club… so you need to know how to fight with your back against a boundary. For wrestling and grappling – you need high QUALITY mats. Mats are usually not a problem… the problem is that most gyms don’t clean them! I know some gyms that clean their mats only once a week with a wet towel! The gym needs to be sanitary for your health.
	Open 24 Hours Everyday! — FFA is the only martial arts school open 24 hours a day, seven days a week! This makes us the most accessible and flexible academy in the world. We’re making it as convenient as possible for you to train. We currently offer 82 classes a week! For those with awkward schedules, such as night shifts, you have finally found a place you can train at.	HO U R S		We’re Closed! — A lot of MMA schools only offer classes at night and only open during class hours. Some even only teach one class per day! And most schools are not open on Saturday and Sunday.
	Great Customer Service — Above anything, this is what we take the most pride in. Our goal is to go above and beyond what you would expect from us. We are constantly trying to find new ways to please our students. It is hard to explain this because it is really the little things that makes our customer service stand out… you will notice it just from the way our staff will greet you when you arrive!	SE R V I C E		Customer Service? — I didn’t say “bad customer service”… I think the question mark is more fitting… because most martial arts schools don’t seem to even know what customer service is! I’ve walked into schools and had staff stare me down like if I was walking in to challenge someone! Egos, bad attitudes, and insecurities fuel bad customer service.
