Great workout. Everyone is very friendly. You get the chance to roll with higher belts who are all very courteous and always try to advise and help.

I tried a few classes at another bjj school in NJ, but after one class here I knew it was the one for me. The instructors are great and so is the usual crowd. Everyone is friendly, patient, and understanding. It felt like I found a new little community. On top of that I come out of every class feeling like I learned something new. Truly a great place with the best people. 10/10 would recommend.

Great all around school. I started two years ago with zero experience. Lou is very good at teaching techniques and very professional. Plenty of class options available to fit anyone's schedule. Highly recommend for people looking to get in shape and learn self defense.

I have been training at Performance Jiu-Jitsu for many years and it has been an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by both the instructors and fellow students. The instructors are highly skilled, patient, approachable, and excellent at breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps. The curriculum is well-rounded and comprehensive, and the school also offers specialized classes such as self-defense and no-gi training.

Have been there three months so far. The head instructor Lou is extremely professional and welcoming. The atmosphere is very supportive; members all strive to help each other learn and grow as Jiu Jitsu martial artists. I originally joined to get into shape and lose some weight. In doing so, I have found BJJ to be both physically AND mentally interesting, fortifying and strengthening. Would recommend to anyone.

Professor Lou's teaching style is excellent, and he really takes his time to give everyone individual attention when there's something that can be corrected in your game. Great atmosphere, everyone is helpful, humble, and respectful. Honestly one of my favorite places to be on any given day.

I've been a member of PJJ for about 3 months and I can't get enough. The instruction from professor Lou and the help of everyone in class is second to none. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time, I'm moving my body more than I have in a while, and my stress levels are way down. It's a great physical and mental workout. 11/10 recommend!!
