Instructors

When he found Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he immediately recognized its importance as a martial art and before it could sweep the nation for its revolutionary perspective on self-defense, Mr. Priole integrated it into his own academy's curriculum to create New Jersey's original Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts academy.

Over the last 20 years, he has studied various martial arts including Aikido, American Kenpo, Kodokan, Krav Maga, Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan, and most recently, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in which he holds the rank of Purple Belt under Marco Perazzo and Rick Macauley.

With a background in Elementary & Secondary Education and over 14 years of teaching experience in the martial arts, Master Farrales' classes are challenging and purposeful.  He understands that the majority of his students will not become professional martial artists but knows that their lives will be enriched from the experience nonetheless.  Realizing this, he promotes longevity in the martial arts and creates an opportunity for continued success by making his classes dynamic and engaging for his young students while providing them with both short and long-term goals to strive for.

Marco "Professor" Perazzo started training with Phil Migliarese in April 1995 after watching how effective Jiu-Jitsu was in no-holds-barred fighting. He was hooked when he learned that a smaller, weaker opponent could win a fight against a bigger, stronger person.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has helped Marco lose 70 pounds and become more confident, healthy, and happy. Also, it gave him a chance to meet new and diverse friends.

He wants every student to have fun and walk out of class believing that he has taught to the best of his ability. He believes that every student should train hard so that when the moment comes, "you are ready to accept the challenge and overcome your opponent."

Marco is a tournament promoter and has a wealth of knowledge about the world of Jiu-Jitsu.

Kirby has a strong grasp of the fundamentals and is excellent at relaying them to those who are new to the sport and seasoned veterans alike.  When he's not teaching classes, you'll find him on the sidelines helping whomever he can.
