Alameda Self-Defense: Ground Fighting Essentials at Alameda Fitness & Spa




When you train under Professor Sérgio Silva, 5th-degree Black Belt teaching out of Alameda, California, you’re not learning sport tricks. You’re learning survival. Real Bay Area, East Bay, Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, Hayward, Albany, Emeryville, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, and Dublin street-reality survival.


And the training hits even harder when it comes from the legendary mats inside Alameda Fitness & Spa, home of:


  • A full weight room

  • Swimming pool

  • Jacuzzi

  • Steam room

  • Dry sauna

  • Clean locker rooms

  • A true East Bay wellness environment



People train here because it’s not some fake cage-warrior garage. It’s a complete self-defense, fitness, and recovery headquarters.





1. Mount Position (Alameda Self-Defense Foundation)



The mount is your anchor—your safe zone when the fight hits concrete. You establish:


  • Top control

  • Hip pinning

  • Dominance in chaos

  • Stable striking posture

  • Positional superiority

  • Escape prevention



In places like Oakland, Berkeley, and San Leandro, where street altercations can get unpredictable fast, the mount gives you the stability to survive and disengage without taking damage.
