Oliver Silvestro

Oliver Silvestro is one of Australia's most decorated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu athletes of all time. With 10 IBJJF World Championship titles, 2 European Open titles, and 2 CBJJ Brasileiro titles to his name, Oliver has spent years competing and winning against the best in the world. He trains and competes at the highest level and brings that current, real-world competitive intelligence directly to the HRJJ mat — not historical knowledge, but techniques that are winning matches right now.

As Senior Coach and Competition Director at HRJJ, Oliver leads the competition team and shapes the competitive pathway for students who want to test themselves. His approach to competition preparation is rigorous and systematic — game planning, positional drilling, live sparring analysis, and mental preparation are all part of how he develops athletes for tournament success. Students who want to compete under Oliver's guidance know they are getting one of the best competition coaches in the country.

Beyond his titles, Oliver is a genuinely engaged coach who cares about the development of every student he works with, whether they are preparing for their first local tournament or aiming for international medals. His presence at HRJJ elevates the entire gym — training partners, technique standards, and competitive culture all benefit from having a world champion actively coaching and rolling on the mat.
