OUR PURPOSE

Best JiuJitsu team Lakewood colorado martial arts

Our Purpose:

To empower individuals with practical self-defense skills, foster a strong and supportive community, and cultivate personal growth through the transformative art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.


At The Sanctuary Bjj, our core mission is to equip every student with the ability to confidently and effectively protect themselves in real-world self-defense situations. We believe that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ, JiuJitsu) offers a unique and unparalleled path to achieving this. Unlike many other martial arts, BJJ emphasizes leverage, technique, and strategy over brute strength, making it an ideal self-defense system for people of all ages, sizes, and physical abilities. Our curriculum is designed to teach you how to neutralize a larger, stronger opponent by utilizing principles of control and submission, particularly in ground-based altercations where 90% most real fights end up. Jiu-Jitsu has been proven effective for 80 years in Self Defense and real world combat sitiations!!


Beyond the mats, we are dedicated to building a vibrant community. We strive to create an environment where students support, respect, and motivate one another, fostering camaraderie, discipline, and resilience. This sense of belonging and mutual encouragement is integral to the learning process and extends beyond training, enriching our students' lives.


Why Choose Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at The Sanctuary BJJ?

  • Effective Self-Defense for Everyone: BJJ is renowned for its practical application in realistic scenarios. You will learn proven techniques to control an attacker, escape dangerous situations, and gain a tactical advantage, regardless of your physical attributes. It’s not about who is biggest or strongest, but who has the superior technique and understanding of leverage.
  • Community & Support: Join a family of like-minded individuals committed to personal development. Our school is built on a foundation of respect, humility, and shared goals. You'll train alongside peers who will challenge you, support your progress, and become lifelong friends.
  • Personal Growth: BJJ is more than just a physical discipline; it is a mental  journey. Through consistent training, you will develop increased confidence, mental toughness, problem-solving skills, and heightened situational awareness. The discipline and resilience learned on the mats translate directly into overcoming challenges in everyday life.
  • Focus on Realistic Application: We prioritize training that simulates real-life encounters through live sparring ("rolling"). This dynamic approach ensures that you not only learn techniques but also understand how to apply them effectively under pressure, building true self-confidence in your abilities.

Womens Jiu-Jitsu Training at The Sanctuary Brazilian JIu-Jitsu:


Empowering Women Through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

We are passionate about empowering women with the life-saving skills of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We understand that women face unique self-defense and training challenges, and BJJ is exceptionally well-suited to address them.


  • Bridging the Strength Gap: BJJ is built on the principle that a smaller, technically proficient person can overcome a larger, stronger assailant. By mastering leverage, joint manipulation, and positional control, women can effectively defend themselves against attackers who may have a significant size or strength advantage.
  • Focus on Ground Survival: Statistically, many assaults against women end up on the ground. BJJ specializes in ground fighting, teaching you how to remain calm, escape dangerous positions, and neutralize threats in these high-risk scenarios.
  • Building Unshakeable Confidence: Learning to defend oneself physically translates into profound mental and emotional empowerment. Our supportive training environment helps women build confidence not just in their physical abilities, but in their overall resilience and assertiveness.
  • A Safe and Supportive Enviornment: Train alongside other inspiring women in a safe, respectful, and encouraging atmosphere. We foster a strong sense of community where women can learn, grow, and support each other on their martial arts journey, building bonds that extend beyond the academy.

We are dedicated to providing children with a fun, engaging, and empowering introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, equipping them with valuable life skills. Our kids program is continually producing champions on and off the mats!!


  • Practical Anti-Bullying & Self-Defense: We teach children how to de-escalate conflict and, if necessary, use BJJ techniques to control a bully or threat without necessarily resorting to striking. This focus on control and neutralization provides practical tools for navigating difficult social situations and ensuring their safety.
  • Developing Discipline and Respect: Our children's program instills core values such as discipline, respect for instructors and training partners, focus, and perseverance. These foundational principles help children succeed both on and off the mats.
  • Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem: As children master new techniques and overcome challenges in BJJ, their self-confidence and self-esteem soar. They learn what they are capable of, developing a "can-do" attitude that benefits all areas of their lives.
  • Enhancing Physical and Mental Well-being: BJJ is a fantastic way for children to improve their coordination, balance, flexibility, and overall physical fitness. It also sharpens their problem-solving skills, ability to think under pressure, and concentration in a positive and supportive community environment.
