Performance Jiu-Jitsu & Self Defense Academy

Almost 2 year review update. Started practicing Jiu Jitsu here in 2024 and I can't imagine being without it. Between the community on the mats and the mental/physical gains from practicing this sport, it has literally changed my life and confidence - especially as a woman (a short one). Professor Lou as well as other teachers like Will Guerrero are amazing, attentive and they care about your progress. They take their jobs seriously, but there's always some jokes and smiles too. I can positively say I have always left the mats feeling better than when I came in. Love this place, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their or their kids' confidence/mental fortitude/discipline. And we also have a huge/growing women's group! Best community ever.

For context, I joined performance about 6 months ago. Since joining, I've found the level of instruction very high. Technical, efficient jiu-jitsu is how I'd describe it. It's a great place for working professionals and their kids. As an adult, you can roll as hard as you want without running into a non-stop onslaught of competition guys. Louis and Laya(?) do a great job managing the kids classes. Imagine getting 40 kids wrestling on the ground in a choreographed way. Challenging, one might say. So, yeah, 'a great place if you're looking for a welcoming place, that's reasonably paced and technique is a priority,

I have been training at Performance for about 4+ years. Professor Louis is an excellent instructor. He devotes a significant amount of time teaching fundamentals. Great environment. Everyone is very supportive and helpful. Best workout you will ever do. Highly recommend to anyone regardless of age.

Went for my first time tonight. I was nervous to go, but felt so welcomed by the other women in the class and quickly felt at home. My husband and kids go as well and they love it. This is such a great place for anyone to learn and Lou is an amazing teacher for both newbies and people more experienced. I’ll definitely be going back!

I simply love this place!! It’s one of the best places to train and the kids class is awesome!! Just don’t understand why someone wrote such a bad review about the teacher. Lou vintaloro is a such great professor and person, he teaches the kids very well and help the kids to gain experience and discipline. I had friends here, and their kids have being training here for so long and I never heard anything bad. If you don’t want you kid to learn discipline and want him to grow up spoiled , then keep coddling at home.
