Sanctify Jiu Jitsu Academy

“My 7-year-old daughter, who loves all things girly, is so happy at Sanctify! After just her first class, we noticed a boost in her confidence and respectfulness. Vivian and Nick are fantastic—they keep the kids engaged in every session. They do an excellent job teaching new sweeps and submissions each time. I’m really impressed by how they remember every child's name, even with so many kids in the class. I also appreciate that there are plenty of boys and girls, which helps my daughter feel at ease. I can’t wait to see my daughters growth!!”

“I’ve been a member of Sanctify since the month it opened and have been to 30+ classes. The adult class is last before closing so every night I’ve been there I’ve seen the mats swept, sanitized, and mopped. The bathroom is clean like the in-laws are coming over, and the changing rooms are private and spacious. There’s plenty of viewing space for parents or friends to watch comfortably. The training environment is really thought out. Lots of natural light during the day, well lit at night, and the temperature in the facility always feels just right—not too cold to stiffen joints, but not so hot that you’re drenched in sweat right away. The professors, Nick and Vivian Barrett, are always on time, always in the right mindset, always generous with their extensive knowledge, and always make safety a top priority while breaking techniques down in a way everyone can understand. The last big thing I’d add is that their app makes managing payments, checking my class history, and viewing their schedule super easy. I’d been on the lookout for a student-focused, professional and clean gym, and Sanctify delivered!”

“My 7 year old son has been attending Sanctify Jiu Jitsu for almost a month now. The fact that he is sad when class is over and wants to stay, says a lot! Coach Nick & Vivian are absolutely amazing, they are both patient with the kids, make sure they understand each move and move around the room to ensure the kids are doing everything correctly. In this short time, I have seen my son’s personality change, he no longer gets upset when he loses a basketball game but tries harder the next time. I originally signed my son up for 2 classes per week but will be transitioning to 3 classes a week per my son’s request. I have attached a photo of one of the 7-12 year old class, every student has their eyes on the Coaches. Thank you Coach Nick & Coach Vivian!”

“My boys have been training here for a while, and we've been really happy with the experience. The coaches are knowledgeable and do a great job of working with the kids to improve their skills. The environment is friendly and supportive, which makes it easy for the boys to feel comfortable while they learn. It's clear the focus is on both development and discipline, and I’ve noticed positive changes in their confidence and focus. Overall, it's been a solid experience, and I’d recommend this school to others looking for a good Jiu Jitsu program.”

“I cannot brag about Coach Vivian and Coach Nick enough. My daughter has been taking the 4-6 year old class for a few weeks now and loves them both. When the lesson is over, she hates to leave! She even practices at home and asks every day if she has Jiu-Jitsu that day. Both coaches are great at keeping everyone’s attention on them while making it fun. Also, just a fun little bit for me, their music choices are phenomenal! From old school, fun music to Christian pop, it’s great! I’d recommend everyone at least let their kids try this place out!”
