Stopped in while visiting family and had a great time. The coach was welcoming and the people I rolled with were super respectful, tough, but respectful. Defenitly recommend hitting up this place. Facility was clean and great mat space.

First time in Madison, here to see family. Saw Sanctuary recommended on Reddit, my lady and I stopped in for morning no gi with Andrew. Very welcoming, no drop in fee for tourists. Beautiful gym, very clean. Great class structure, great instruction. Clear, concise, with key details to achieve successful implementation. Constrained, focused positionals to cement the tech. Free sparring at the end. Everybody was respectful, no egos. Good training partners. 10/10, would return. Jordan has a good thing going here. Be a part of it.

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

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! 🤙🏻

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!
