Jordan's nuanced instruction and attention to detail elevates everyone's Jiu Jitsu. The group he has brought together at Sanctuary and the relationships we've built with one another are well worth the time and money. The environment is both competitive and welcoming, and I couldn't imagine training anywhere else.

Sanctuary is my home! Over the last 15 years I have visited several other gyms and none of them felt like home as Sanctuary does. Jordan is a true leader who is passionate about growing his students and the art. I know he has my back both inside and outside the gym. The facilities are top notch always clean, safe and welcoming. I will be here for many years to come growing with this family.

I dropped in to the Sanctuary as I was visiting Madison for work. I'm a white belt and felt welcomed as well as part of the class. The instructors are awesome, and the location is good. The facilities are great and there are showers as well! Highly recommend. Picked up a few new things in the day I was there.

What a great place to train. I came into town on business and wanted to get a little training in. Sanctuary was the only gym that responded about dropping in. Everyone in the gym was extremely welcoming and exactly how you want to want to be treated when coming into a new place. I honestly can't say enough good things about the gym and its members. I can't wait to come back.

Wonderful Gym. Everyone here has been so welcoming to my girlfriend and I as we start Jiu-Jitsu. Jordan is a talented coach whose lessons are easy to apply and follow. Can't say enough good things about this place. Easy to make friends here.
