Details: At Foundations, we are committed to providing high quality Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction in a welcoming, laid-back, yet challenging training environment. Foundations was started in 2015 as a volunteer run organization in the Neighborhood House Community Center. The aim since the beginning has been to make Jiu Jitsu accessible to anyone. Our fees are straightforward and all inclusive. There are no contracts. There are no required academy or affiliation uniforms. There are no testing or promotion fees. Promotions will be based on improvement and results on the mat. We recognize that people choose to train martial arts for a variety of reasons, and support our students in whatever their goals may be. Foundations is honored to represent Chris and Melissa Haueter’s Combat Base Jiu Jitsu. We are firmly against pressure sales and offer a flexible free trial policy to help you decide if we’re the right fit for you. Rather than limiting to a set number of classes, we encourage you to just keep coming for a few weeks, trying several classes, before making your decision. Hope to see you on the mats.

Details: Many Madison BJJ Academies offer a “buffet” of martial arts like fitness kickboxing, self-defense, karate, etc. Not us. Our focus is teaching authentic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. That’s because we think Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is the most effective and complete self-defense system in the world. It’s also the best full-body workout available, and just plain addictive to learn.

Details: The origins of Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu were in late November, 2015. After a decade of teaching and training Jiu-Jitsu, Owner/Head Instructor Jordan Wilson decided to implement his diverse background and start his own Jiu-Jitsu program at the Monkey Bar Gymnasium, starting with just one student. After a little over a year of increased student interest and growth, Jordan decided to affiliate with Professor Caio Terra and the larger Caio Terra Association, and implement his world-class curriculum. Soon thereafter, our team grew very quickly. Ryan Lewis, Jordan’s first student, saw potential in the program for something far greater, and shared his vision of a new and truly unique Jiu-Jitsu academy for the city of Madison. Jordan and Ryan decided to partner in expanding and building upon this shared vision. In October of 2019, that dream became a reality and they opened the doors of the current Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu. At Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu, we believe that Jiu-Jitsu is a comprehensive and integrative martial art. Our students enjoy Jiu-Jitsu as a personally expressive endeavor, a means towards physical fitness, an effective system of self-defense, a positive community, a healthy lifestyle, and as an exciting (and fast-growing!) competitive sport. Because of this, we believe that Jiu-Jitsu offers something for everyone, and that fact is reflected in the diverse backgrounds, goals, and achievements of our students. Jiu-Jitsu will not only improve your ability to defend yourself but will also encourage you to develop strong self-confidence, humility, dedication, and respect for others. Every student of Jiu-Jitsu comes from a different background. Each student has different natural abilities and different ways of learning. For those reasons, everyone’s goals and journey in Jiu-Jitsu will be unique. We approach the instruction of Jiu-Jitsu with that in mind. We utilize a personalized approach that takes into account each individual students needs, goals, and abilities. At Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu we put our individual students first. We are here to ensure their growth and provide for them a welcoming, safe, clean, and fun environment in which they can flourish in the art of Jiu-Jitsu, regardless of who they are. The instructors and students of Sanctuary Jiu-Jitsu are ambassadors of Jiu-Jitsu, serving as an example - on and off the mats - of how Jiu-Jitsu can change and improve peoples’ lives.
