Silverjack Jiu-jitsu

Silverjack Jiu-jitsu is guided by Jack Tolley, known locally as Silver Jack, who earned his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt in Belém do Pará, Brazil—a city recognized as the birthplace of the art and home to the legendary Mitsuyo Maeda. Tolley is among the few non-Brazilian practitioners to receive his black belt directly in that region, and his training under Zezinho Mota of 7 Seas Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Lifestyle Brand has shaped a dedicated group of practitioners in the South Fayette area. The academy’s roots are built on a shared passion for Jiu Jitsu, whether students come for competition, fitness, self-defense, or personal enjoyment. Training at Silverjack centers on a program designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of practitioners, from novices to seasoned competitors. Tolley emphasizes meticulous attention to technique and the development of discipline, willpower, and self-confidence. His approach is grounded in the belief that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the most effective system for self-defense, and classes reflect a balance of challenge and engagement. Students are encouraged to trust their individual skills while progressing through a curriculum that supports steady growth. The academy offers open mat sessions for adults, welcoming drop-ins to supplement regular training. This setup allows practitioners to drill, spar, and refine their skills outside structured class times. Located at 3275 Washington Pike in Bridgeville, Silverjack Jiu-jitsu serves the Pittsburgh area with a focused, private training environment that prioritizes personal development through consistent practice and dedication.
