Everybody wants to feel, look, and perform at their very best. However, we frequently come up short of our goals and dreams, leading us to feel less motivated and defeat ourselves before we even really begin. Not only do our adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students experience physical transformation, but they also develop more self-awareness and confidence, allowing them to push themselves both in class and out in the real world and in their lives.

Our fast-paced, friendly, and fun martial arts classes are the complete reverse of the isolating gym experience. You will look forward to attending our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes here at Performance Jiu-Jitsu for an intense, calorie-burning workout instead of having to drag yourself to the gym for another boring routine. People who are exactly like you will be in our self-defense and martial arts classes, supporting you and celebrating your success as you reach your goals and set all new ones.

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 feeing 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 environment is friendly catering to practitioners of all levels—from beginners to advanced competitors.
The instructors are highly skilled and possess a deep understanding of Jiu-Jitsu. They are patient, approachable, and excellent at breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps. Each class is structured to maximize learning, and they ensure that every student gets personalized attention.
The curriculum is well-rounded and comprehensive. It covers a wide range of techniques, from basic fundamentals to advanced submissions and transitions. The school also offers specialized classes, such as self-defense and no-gi training, which enhance the overall learning experience.

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, strengthening, as it tests your capacity to learn and grow in multiple dimensions. 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 favorites 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 is 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!!
