Silanoe Martial Arts - San Gabriel, California

I've been training under Professor Gino for almost a year and all I can say he is family now. The first day I joined he was welcoming and made sure I was comfortable. He has very good knowledge and is very patient. I live in Pasadena and there are many gyms around me but Professor Gino is the reason I joined.

A great location with plenty of parking. Class schedules that work with mine and I'm able to stay sharp on all the many facets of the instructions to continue polishing my game.

A great place with a strong community that welcomes you. You really feel wanted there.

Currently, I have been training for over 10 years of Jiu Jitsu now. After training different Martial Arts, I have found Jiu Jitsu to be one of the most fun and effective arts of all. I was training at a different Jiu Jitsu academy when a friend recommended me to Professor Gino Silanoe. I am glad that I decided to tryout. and currently train under him. His curriculum is outstanding and it resulted in me reaching multiple podium medals! I learn everyday. Professor Gino is passionate about all Martial Arts may it be Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai or other forms of Self Defense. It is great to see kids at the facility as well. I wish I started training at a younger age myself! The facility is clean and well kept, the mats are of high quality and there is ample private parking. Also, very important is that everyone is welcoming and friendly, willing to teach and assist anyone and everyone. As a medical professional, I am not able to train as often as I would like to, but every time I can I am there. Silanoe Martial Arts truly feels like my second home!

After trying 3 other schools over 3 months, our slow-to-warm 5 year old finally found his groove here! The gym is clean, class is well organized, good sized classes for variety of training partners with the right age range (5-7). Coach Holly is fantastic in balancing class management and making it fun, explaining technique and social skills. The gym has also hosted parents night out and Halloween Trunk or Treat. The other families are great too and it’s a real a great community here. Highly recommend!

Years ago I turned off from martial arts due to a bad experience but from the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm atmosphere and supportive community that Gino has created at his gym. Him and his instructors are highly skilled and incredibly patient.
They've made class enjoyable and accessible for athletes of all levels. Whether you're a seasoned grappler or a complete beginner, this gym provides top-notch training in a safe and inclusive environment.

I was in town visiting a friend and wanted to get some training in. I dropped into a Saturday morning class, during technique Professor Gino showed us a few different options on how to finish the knee cut pass when someone has the quarter guard, and finishing a cross collar choke when you can’t get the pass. He provided great details that I’ll definitely incorporate into my game.

I’m very grateful to have contacted Silanoe Martial Arts, Professor Gino was great, the rolls were fun, the training partners were friendly. I’ll definitely visit again if I’m in the area!

During my stay in LA, I had the pleasure of joining classes at Silanoe Martial Arts. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and the lessons were superb. Professor Gino and his team are truly exceptional. I felt right at home and learned so much in a short period. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting LA!
