Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a great combat sport, but self defense is a very overlooked aspect of BJJ. Far too many BJJ schools out there focus only on sport competition and point tournaments. While you will learn that at Performance BJJ as well, we have a dedicated time each week where our students can learn real world techniques in our self defense class designed for women, men and even kids.
We teach the same self defense techniques that Grand Master Hélio Gracie taught to his own family and students. Performance Jiu Jitsu of Bergen County is unique among area schools in teaching Hélio Gracie Self-Defense. Our self defense classes include live drills to sharpen your timing and balance and to tune the techniques into muscle memory.
Our self defense classes are taught at our Bergen County – Fair Lawn, NJ Jiu Jitsu academy on Monday at 6PM with Self Defense open mat directly after where you can practice the techniques you have learned. After that is one hour of regular open mat where you can work on your Jiu Jitsu and grappling skills.
As a law enforcement officer for over 20 years, I believe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most effective self defense martial art for real life situations. Professor Louis Vintaloro learned Jiu-Jitsu directly from the Gracie Family earning his Black Belt from Royler Gracie himself. I have had the honor of being a student at Performance Jiu-Jitsu Academy in Fair Lawn for over two years. At 44 years of age I lost 60lbs and kept it off. I noticed a huge boost in my endurance and energy and stress level has seemingly decreased. Training at PJJ helps keep me stay focused on my positive lifestyle changes including my diet. Prof. Louis Vintaloro, instructs almost every class at PJJ. Under his watchful eye he makes sure every student performs the moves correctly.

I have been training at Performance Jiu-Jitsu since 2005. My only regret is that I did not start sooner. As a Police Officer in New Jersey I know the importance of self-defense. I believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best no nonsense martial art out there. Many instructors can execute the moves but don’t know how to teach. Louis can do both. He’s an excellent instructor with a world of experience. I’m proud to say that I’m in the best shape of my life, and receiving instruction from a Royler Gracie Black belt.
