Stopped in for an open mat on Saturday and everyone was extremely welcoming. The competition was high level but I felt safe rolling with everyone there. I love that they have showers and a garage door!

Sanctuary is a great Jiu Jitsu academy! We travel on Saturdays, just to attend their open mat. The seminars they offer are top notch, and we try to go to as many as we can. They teach high-level technique, in a very friendly atmosphere. The gym is perfect for anyone wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu, practice the gentle art, or train for competition. The facilities are very clean, and all the instructors and students are kind and humble. I definitely recommend checking them out, if you’re in the Madison area or passing through!!

Sanctuary is the best. I don't have a lot of experience with other gyms, but I doubt it can be much better than Sanctuary. Everyone is really friendly, and the atmosphere at Sanctuary is very welcoming. Jordan is a phenomenal teacher. My only regret is that I didn't start training sooner.

Sanctuary Jiu Jitsu is one of my favorite places to train. When I came into Madison for work, I heard about them from a friend and I keep making special trips back there even after my work in the area is done just to train because the people are so great, the Jiu Jitsu they teach is top level, and their facility is super clean with a great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!

I needed a place to train while we were in town and this is the spot!Super nice crew and if you forgot something no worries, they have really nice, clean, and free house gis you can use.The instructor have a great class with a lot of details. When it was time to drill the people in class were chill and the rounds were challenging but no one was going like it was ADCC trials.I’ll be back whenever I pop into town

I drive from the opposite side of town because I believe in this place. From the first time we stepped in the door, the staff and families have been warm and welcoming. My son has thrived in this environment. This is especially important to me as a parent of a neurodiverse kiddo who doesn’t always fit into group settings. Thanks to the awesome teachers and community! Five stars!
