Endure Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Join us June 24th in Shelton to celebrate 10 years of Endure! We'd love to see current and former students, families, friends and anyone who has been with us on this amazing journey. We'll have refreshments, a bounce house for kids and plenty of time to reminisce. See you there! 😎

Are you familiar with the term "uke"? In martial arts like judo and jiu-jitsu, uke (oo-keh) is the person who receives techniques in drilling. Being a good uke means giving honest reactions, being engaged and helping create a productive training environment for yourself and your partner. Strong teams are built by people willing to help one another improve!

Monday classes are canceled for both locations but we'll be having a 10AM no-gi open mat in Shelton.

A reminder that great training partners challenge you and help you get better!

Huge congratulations to everyone that competed at the 2026 TCO Connecticut BJJ Open today! The courage to step on the mats is the real victory and you should all be proud.

Start your day the jiu jitsu way with a morning class! With options in both gi and no gi there's always a class to fit into your schedule.

Training isn't about always getting it right. It's about showing up for yourself, putting in the work, and coming back again. Looking to make it over the mid-week slump? Join us in the gi tomorrow in Shelton morning or night. Can't make it Wednesday? Try Thursday night in Branford.

Looking for a new way to kick off your day? Why not start on the mats! Join us for morning classes Monday through Friday.

Due to the inclement weather, all Saturday classes will be cancelled.

We will explore the possibility of Open Mat for adults later, depending on conditions.

Please stay warm and safe!

Best regards,
Professor Jesse
