A fresh start for a South Bay jiu-jitsu home.
Beach Cities Jiu Jitsu was formerly Aloisio Silva BJJ. Under Third Degree Black Belt Rinaldo Antonio, the academy has a new name and a clear goal: to be the place in the South Bay where people of every background come to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
We want a room where growth, camaraderie and personal development happen every night. New to the mats or coming back after years away, you'll find training partners who want you to get better.

“Now I have my own academy where I can pass on my Jiu Jitsu learning, experience in competitions, lifestyle, respect for others, self-confidence, prevention against bullying and self-defense.”
Rinaldo started training in Brazil in 2005, competed across championships while studying civil engineering, and earned his black belt in 2013. In 2014 he moved to the USA to make a living from jiu-jitsu.
