Excellent facility and even better people. I was on vacation in the Dells made the 45 minute drive based off the reviews and wasn’t disappointed. Everyone was extremely welcoming, and the classes were amazing. Thank you Jordan for the hospitality I’ll definitely be back next year!

Earlier this year, I visited Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu to attend their free Women’s Self-Defense Seminar. I have no background in jiu-jitsu (or any other martial art) and tend to feel out of place when visiting gyms I’m not a regular member of - but coaches Jordan and Karen made myself and the friends I attended with feel welcome and comfortable. They empowered each of us to use strengths we already possess and taught invaluable new skills. Their shared passion for their craft really shined during this two-day session, making jiu-jitsu feel un-intimidating and approachable. I would absolutely return here if they hold more of these kinds of classes in the future and have recommended this gym to many of my friends since!
Dale Stinson
I can't recommend Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu enough. It is such an amazing place! When I decided to finally give BJJ a try after many years of admiring the sport/art from a far, I wasn't sure how it would go--especially as someone starting out late in life. I am so thankful I found Sanctuary. The instructors are top notch, extremely helpful, attentive, and encouraging. Moreover the community of people at Sanctuary is absolutely incredible. Come train with us and experience it for yourself!
Kim Subscribes
I was traveling for work & reached out to the professor in advance to see if I could drop in. My first visit to Sanctuary, but I found it to be a great environment to train while away from home. Other jujitsukas were not just helpful to me, but I saw how encouraging they were to each other. Also noticed some diversity, which is always great. I agree with another comment about it being intense but safe! Would definitely go back when I'm in the area. Thank you for your hospitality & generosity, Jordan!
Joel Chesebro
Beautiful (very clean) gym. A place where everyone will feel comfortable and safe to train, great women’s and kid’s program, very high-level instruction. I have been training for almost 20 years and travel for my job so I have trained all over the United States and feel very lucky that this is in my backyard.
Olivia Watson
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!
Liam Norberg
As someone who stepped away from Brazilian jiu jitsu for 4-5 years (as a blue belt) who wanted to return to the sport, I was apprehensive about returning. I was so elated to come across Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu. I was looking a gym that: was clean; coaches/instructors that had an infectious passion, positive attitude great knowledge of BJJ, but a humble learner as well; great gym environment that it's fun; and a month-to-month plan. After talking to Jordan and going the trial classes, it was an easy decision to join Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu as Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu is what I was looking for!
Kate cullen
I brought my daughters, 11 and 13, to the women's self-defense class and the experience exceeding all my expectations. The staff at Sanctuary made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The instructors, Jordan and Karen were wonderful, and I can't wait to go back. I look forward to trying other classes and highly recommend checking it out!!!
Phil Craig
I have belonged to several gyms throughout my martial arts journey. Sanctuary by far is my favorite. The diversity of the people that train, the camaraderie, and the overall community support within the organization is unmatched. The instructors are always attentive, willing to provide feedback, and eager to help. Come train with us, this will be my home for years to come.
Chelsea lahee
I took a Women's self-defense class here and absolutely loved it! The teachers broke every move down and made the steps easy to follow. They covered multiple scenarios that you may be in and how to defend yourself in each. I was nervous going into it since I had not done anything like this before, but the staff quickly makes you feel comfortable! I thoroughly enjoyed learning from this establishment and feel more confident in myself if I am ever in a situation where I would need to use the moves I learned. Can't recommend Sanctuary enough!
