Zen Do Ju-Jitsu Martial Arts Training
I am Sean Jugler, the owner and founder of Zen Do Ju-Jitsu, established in 1990 to provide authentic martial arts training in New Milford. Our school was founded because no other local schools offered the quality and realistic style of JuJitsu for both children and adults. Over the past 35 years, we have helped hundreds of families improve their personal security and safety through JuJitsu training. I began my martial arts journey in 1986 after being attacked and beaten in the Bronx, New York, which highlighted the importance of selfdefense. That experience inspired my passion for strengthening others through JuJitsu, leading me to open my own school. I hold a 7thdegree black belt in Japanese JuJitsu and have crosstrained in Judo, Kyokushin Karate, Aikido, Kung Fu, Modern Arnis, Defence Lab, and Brazilian JiuJitsu, where I currently hold a purple belt.

Our program emphasizes authentic, highquality martial arts training that develops fitness, strength, flexibility, and selfdefense skills. We offer weekly classes for all age groups, including childrens JuJitsu, adult JuJitsu, Brazilian JiuJitsu, and Wing Chun Kung Fu sessions. Students consistently report improvements in physical fitness, mental discipline, and personal confidence, as reflected in their testimonials. Parents note that their children gain both martial arts proficiency and valuable life skills such as discipline and respect. Adult learners, even those starting later in life, find our academy welcoming and report becoming hooked on the practice. Our mission is to pass on my passion and knowledge so that every student can live a secure life with total and true confidence.
