Revive BJJ

Revive BJJ in St Peters, Missouri, was built around the belief that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be a tool for real growth—on and off the mats. Head instructor Joao “Junior” Da Silva, a 3rd degree black belt under TAC Team, has been teaching since 2007 and is especially known for his work developing kids’ programs and helping students build confidence. Alongside Junior, the team includes competitors like Nick Sanders, a Pan Am medalist and Army veteran, and Amanda, a world champion who leads the women’s program. Coaches here come from a range of backgrounds—military, IT, wrestling, and judo—but share a passion for patient, practical instruction and supporting students at every stage. Classes at Revive cover the full arc of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, from fundamentals for adults and kids to advanced gi and no-gi sessions. The schedule features dedicated programs for children as young as three, including BJJ, judo, and kickboxing, with age-appropriate instruction designed to keep younger students engaged and learning safely. Adults can train in both gi and no-gi formats, with beginner and advanced options, as well as striking classes like Muay Thai and yoga for cross-training. Women’s gi classes are a regular part of the week, led by Amanda, who brings her own competitive experience to the mat. The academy welcomes drop-ins and offers open mats for anyone wanting to train with the team. With experienced instructors, a deep commitment to teaching, and a wide range of classes for all ages, Revive BJJ has become a place where families, competitors, and newcomers can all find a place to train and grow. The facility is wheelchair accessible and provides on-site parking to make training accessible for everyone.
