Silvio has created an amazing gym in midtown. Very welcoming, clean and some great training. I got beat up but it was fun. Will be back on future visits to NYC.

when I was sparring with him, he was great. It was a shame that I couldn't go back because of the schedule. I really hope to go back to the gym and train again. If you want to train jiujitsu in Manhattan, find a professor, Silvios Duran!!

Amazing gym. Welcoming energy and great training partners. Always feels like home when i visit. Best perks are the amazing natural light and view, very clean gym and my favorite part… the water pressure in the showers !!! ⭐️

I had the chance to visit Silvio Duran’s jujitsu gym in Midtown and I had a great experience.
Silvio himself is a terrific instructor. He not only explains techniques in great detail but he also walks the room to ensure each participant can demonstrate things back correctly and can also get answers to any questions. His lessons are well thought out and each day’s class seems to build upon the previous ones. Teaching based on themes and key positions makes it easier for students to grasp (as opposed to learning a random set of moves each class) and actually employ when sparring.
The gym also has a very friendly vibe and I never felt like an outsider. People were quick to introduce themselves, help me out, and volunteer to spar with me.
Thank you for the warm welcome Silvio and team. I will be back whenever I am in NYC!

This was a great class, I attended fundamentals. I am visiting New York and they were very welcoming to me and allowed me to train for the week. The class size was big but it was well organised.

Step through the door and the noise of the world fades—this place hums with focus, sweat, and something close to peace. The vibe? Immaculate. The mats? Clean enough to eat your post-roll protein bar off (but maybe don’t). The showers and lockers? Always stocked, always fresh—like someone’s mom is secretly managing it behind the scenes.
The instructors here? Total gems. Wise, kind, and patient—like technique-slinging wizards in rash guards. They don’t just show you a move and move on. They teach. They make sure it lives in your muscle memory, not just your notebook.
And the crew? Training partners here are the real deal. Tough, respectful, and always down to go hard—but never reckless. It’s that rare mix of grind and care where you leave tired, better, and still intact.
And don’t worry about your 9-to-5—or your 5-to-1. This gym’s schedule has your back, whether you’re an early bird, night owl, or chaotic in-between.

I'm good friends with one of the instructors at SD Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He's an awesome person and tells me a lot about the gym!! Going to get started soon and if you're interested in grappling, you should too! 🔥 …

Best Gym Ever. The guy whose name is on the sign, is the actual guy who trains, rolls and builds a relationship with you. You can literally feel how much these instructors care about your personal development as an athlete, a hobbyist, and a human being. This place is an oasis from the rigors of this chaotic city. See you soon!
