About
Our Story
Team Forsa was founded in January 2022 by Professor Anderson “Sinho” Silverio and his strongest, brightest, most handson student “Gorilla” with one goal—build greater Boston’s best academy with an emphasis on creating stronger, more capable people through the discipline of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Raised in Cantagalo, Rio de Janeiro, Anderson began training at age 10 through a local community project. By 2003, he earned his black belt and went on to win international titles across Europe and the U.S. A lifelong competitor and mentor, he’s promoted over a dozen black belts, including multiple world champions.
With Team Forsa, the goal was to create more than just a gym—but a close knit community where anyone, from beginner to established competitor, can grow through focused training, strong fundamentals, and shared values.
“Forsa” means strength—and that’s exactly what we build, on and off the mats.
Whether you’re looking to compete, train for self-defense, or become your best self, you’ll find your path here.
