Jennifer
"I was briefly in Wisconsin for work and after looking into some of the Bjj gyms in the area, I decided to drop in to Sanctuary. I am so glad I did, the owners, Jordan and Ryan, were super welcoming. Jordan answered all my questions about the type of class I should expect. Ryan led the class and was very knowledgeable. Bonus: we got to work half guard, my favorite! Super clean environment, very good looking training space, welcoming environment (saying this as a woman), fun and safe rolls. If you are in the area, I would definitely suggest checking them out. Thanks again, guys! 🤙🏻"
Mauricio Hermoza
"Stopped by for a work trip and was allowed to train for the week it was an awesome time and the owner Jordan is an outstanding guy! If I lived in Madison I would definitely come to train an Sanctuary Bjj"
Codie Wareham
"Amazing gym with great people! I was in Wisconsin just for the week and did a drop in for the day. I have been to many gyms so I did my research and I know what to look for. The gym was clean, friendly and the coach was very passionate towards his technique and students. If you are looking to building your jiujitsu or you are new this hobby, this is the place to check out. I’d go here again if I was back in Wisconsin! Thank you for having me."
Glen Mimura
"Out-of-towner here: visited Sanctuary for an early-morning no-gi open mat (beginning with situational rolling) and loved it. Clean, well-organized space. The regulars were challenging yet welcoming––no attitudes and not overly aggressive (much appreciated when, like me, you're 5'8'', "
