Great spot. The owner has been doing it since the early 90s and has helped other guys who has…read moreopened up a few local schools. The place can get crowded which tells how many people have enjoyed and stayed with Lou. He has a lot of classes in fact I don't think school around him has more classes available so you don't have to worry about not being able to make it to a class. Above that he has also included wrestling classes and a boxing class. In the past, he has been helpful to other martial art teachers to start their schools in his academy. He helped a Muay Thai, Judo teacher and a gymnastica natural teacher. Let me finally add that reviews are done by many personalities and nothing takes the place of stopping by, taking a few classes and seeing if the school clicks with your personality. Stop by for a few classes and see what you can learn.

I started training at Performance about a year and a half ago. One of the best decisions I've ever…read moremade. Everyone in the school is cool, welcoming and willing to help you out. Lou the owner is a great guy and instructor. I would recommend anybody who's looking for a school to come check them out. You won't be disappointed.

This is the spot if you are in this area to visit or live near here.I called other schools only to…read morebe blown off. Even visited a school to be brushed off. Not this place called so not to waste my time was invited with the jiu jitsu charm I have grown to expect from top notch schools that are real. This place was full of attentive students ready to train. Not one time did the class drift it was very fun and informative. I have trained all over the U.S. and out of the country. They are in my spots to come see again. I do not want to skip the fact that the room had killers in it but not one ego maniac. Strong jiu jitsu with strong competitors loved it. Thank you for having me guys. I hope to have the opportunity to stop in again.

I've been to a lot of dojos (i.e. martial arts schools) and usually have the same "vibe." It's not…read moreterrible, but there is a barrier to entry before the preexisting students are minimally cordial. They'll warm up, but there are definitely a few classes where everyone is looking at you like you're going to quit, so they don't bother investing any time with you. At "Trasso Jiu Jitsu & Wrestling", there was none of that nonsense. Michael Trasso is a great instructor and _very_ chill. All the students were incredibly welcoming and friendly even on my first day. I was pretty nervous about my first day, but everyone made it a seamless and friendly experience. If you're new to Jiu Jitsu (like me) and thinking about starting, this has been a great place to start. Highly recommended!

The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable. I love that I see both men and women getting…read morethere work out on! There are people here in every form & shape. One thing I definitely love is the sense of family & community that comes from here. I've asked several people "how do you like it here?" Or "how long have you been a member here?" The answers always make me smile. People say 2 or 3 even 5 years. This is serious dedication, love and support. My partner Cathy comes here and she absolutely loves and cherishes this place. She is always eager to come to class to learn a new skill and she usually tries it out on me (ahhh) I also love that kids are involved. They offer great classes for them and help them to become independent and they show them how to protect themselves. Respect comes first always here. I love what this community stands for and the message they get out to people... Basically.... "Come one come all & gift yourself the gift of HEALTH WHILE LOOKING WONDERFUL." Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed!

I checked out this gym. It's expensive for what it is. And I am not interested in machine…read moreworkouts, but rather a structured class, something like taekwondo or karate. I found All-Star Taekwon-Do, recommended by one of my friends. It is very welcoming and rigorous at the same time, tought by a 7th and a 6th degree black belts. It helped me both mentally and physically - tremedously. I also like that whole families are enrolled, including kids. And they have some old dudes there as well. It costs less. What else can you ask for? Oh, it's located in West Caldwell at the Tiger Tennis place. Nice elevated floor... A great place -- and not too big.

I've known Sensei Erick for quiet some time and he is a very old school traditional instructor who…read morewill give you his all as long as you give it your all. He goes out of his way to stay longer to teach and will even come in on his days off. As far as monthly dues are concern, Compared to other schools he is by far cheaper and doesn't do contracts which is a huge weight off anyone shoulders. If your interested in learning and want to see what BJJ is about come in for a free class. Great group of respectful individuals all helping one another. Oss

He has unparalleled wisdom to the sport, and is very warm and welcoming. He focuses on each student individually in order to introduce them to techniques for their specific game/style. He is the real deal and never shows "bs" moves. He also teaches MMA and how to defend yourself in the street. Not only does he teach top tier BJJ and MMA, he teaches his students to be the best versions of themselves in the sport and in life! Amazing instructor and person in general. I've been with him since 2013 and wouldn't change a thing! Best instructor around. Very dedicated to his students and school. Honestly cannot say enough good things! He teaches children and adults and is amazing with both!!! Also always very clean- something very important in BJJ schools!!!! He cleans the mats every night!

I called a little over…read morea week ago to inquire about classes and was told a day and a time to come for a trial but that I would receive a call back to confirm. No call back. I called every day for more than a week and no one picks up the phone. Finally I spoke to someone who said the studio is closed all day until 4 pm, then there are classes happening and no one picks up the phone. He said it was very disorganized but promised I would receive a call back. The proposed day is tomorrow and still no call. I wish I would have had the opportunity to enroll my son, but it's probably for the best if you can't even get someone on the phone. I can't imagine trusting my child with a studio you can't even get in touch with.

I have never taken any of these classes but the instructors are so knowledgeable, observant, and patient. They made me feel comfortable every time I went to class. I have only been coming here a couple of months and I can already see an improvement in my game and an increase in my confidence. Augie also takes great pride in his establishment and provides the best equipment so we are always protected. Additionally, the other students are welcoming, knowledgeable, and are always willing to help you. Everyone is always looking out for each other and it truly feels that you belong to a family there. You will not regret spending your time, money, and energy here.

I came to a Wednesday 830 pm class, and i loved it. The instructor was quite helpful. I have never done any Muay Thai, and he helped me through each step. I felt like i got a good total body workout, and the time flew by. The parking lot is a little tricky to get to. If you have any problems, just call them and they will direct you where to park. Now i know how to throw some punches and kicks, and i cant wait to go back and get some more training!
