Howard Chu

"I had the chance to drop in at Endure BJJ and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I walked through the door, everyone was incredibly welcoming and professional. The facility itself was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with plenty of mat space and a great vibe overall. The class was well-structured, with a solid warm-up, technical instruction that was clear and detailed, and plenty of time for rolling. Coach Chris did an excellent job breaking down the techniques, making it easy to follow whether you’re a white belt or a seasoned practitioner. What really stood out was the level of respect and camaraderie on the mats. The rolls were tough but controlled, and everyone I trained with was not only skilled but also super supportive. You can tell this gym has a strong culture of mutual respect and growth. If you’re traveling, new to the area, or just looking for a high-level place to train, I highly recommend dropping in at Endure BJJ. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town! Thanks again, Coach Chris!"

Ryan Mercede

"YOU FOUND THE RIGHT GYM. From the very beginning, the experience has been awesome. Before I started, I was optimistic but unsure with many unanswered questions. I called the main number and the owner, Jesse, was extremely informative and encouraging, telling me something that really stuck: “The hardest part is walking through the door.” He was absolutely right. Once I got started, I realized how welcoming and supportive this gym’s community is. All the higher belts go out of their way to help newer students like me learn the basics. They’re not just skilled rollers but also great teachers who genuinely enjoy seeing you improve. The vibe on the mats is one of camaraderie, growth, and respect. Jesse is an outstanding instructor who fosters an environment where everyone, regardless of experience level, feels comfortable and motivated to push themselves. If you’ve been thinking about trying Jiu-Jitsu, I can’t think of a better place to start your journey. Walking through the door really is the hardest part, but you’ll be glad you did."

Alex Donfrancesco

"The instructors are amazing. Great for all levels. You will learn a lot of technical moves in both stand-up and on the ground. The prices are affordable and it's a great environment to learn and have fun."

Lindsay Troncone

"Endure has done wonders for my 6 year old son. In addition to learning Jiu-Jitsu from extremely knowledgeable professors, he's gained confidence, focus, discipline, commitment, and some great friends. Jesse and his staff are great with the kids and go above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience. They offer free trials so check them out for yourself! Highly recommend."
