What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Eduardo Zuniga

"Sanctum Jiu-Jitsu Academy has the Best Coaches! My two sons (5yo and 7yo) train here and we can’t say enough good things about Sanctum Jiu Jitsu Academy. The coaches here are not only highly skilled with a deep understanding of BJJ, but also genuinely passionate about helping every student reach their potential. They care deeply about each student’s growth—not just in terms of technique but in building confidence, discipline, and mental toughness. All in a safe and FUN environment. Professor Matheus, coach Emi and the rest of the coaches here at Sanctum have become our family, On and off the mats. If You or your kids are interested in learning BJJ and want to train under the best, I highly recommend Sanctum Jiu Jitsu Academy. You’ll be in great hands!"

Martin Medina

"My 6 years old boy had been training with coach Matheus and coach Emi for a year and a half.. they are incredible…the best decision I ever made. Sanctum under their guidance it’s an incredible choice for anyone who wants to start training JJ. The ambiance it’s so good for beginners ( kids or adults)… the best part is the coaches and the way they made you feel confortable learning new skills. Don’t hesitate and come and check them out, you won’t regretted"

Laura P

"My kids love it here! Prof. Matheus is well-balanced with enthusiasm and discipline, and always goes up and beyond to give the same amount of attention to every single kid in the academy (that is greatly appreciated!). I also like that parents can see the class inside with plenty space and AC!"

Walter Pardy

"I attended a free class. The atmosphere was welcoming and everyone was very friendly. The guy I rolled with easily could have snapped me in two, but he was a real tough guy who had nothing to prove. I had a financial setback that will prevent me from attending classes...but if anyone reading is thinking about a BJJ academy, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO."
