I came to visit this gym today and it is a wonderful community. I hit the women’s class taught by the talented black belt Lyann. If you are a woman I HIGHLY recommend checking out this gym. The women were awesome and very welcoming. If I lived in FL I would be a member of this gym in a heartbeat!
My son trains Jiu-Jitsu with Master Jonh, and I only have praise! He is very attentive and efficient during the classes, always making sure the students perform the movements correctly. On the mat, there is always more than one instructor assisting and supervising, which brings a lot of safety and quality to the training. I truly recommend it to other families who want to have this same positive experience.
I had the pleasure of joining their open mat this Sunday, and was welcomed with open arms. Everyone I met and rolled with were very down to earth and technical. Will definitely be back. If you want to level up your Jiu Jitsu, come see Jon and Lyanne at Sanity!
This place has a very welcoming atmosphere and chill vibe! I visited from out of town when I was on vacation. Professor John is very skilled and informative with his technique. The entire class was also welcoming I got some good rolls in and learned some new skills as well. If you’re looking to start jiu-jitsu or just visiting the area I definitely recommend this school.
I've been here over 9 months and have built great relationships with everyone. When I moved to Winter Garden Coach John kept in touch with me prior to me joining. He's not only a great mentor but also someone I consider a friend. I'm grateful to have found a school so welcoming and friendly. Both coach John and Coach Lyanne are the friendliest down to earth people I have ever met. It's not just about jiu jitsu. It's about how can I progress as a better person in my every day life. When you join, you will find more meaning to your every day routine.
I dropped in from out of town for a class here. Jon was very accommodating. I stayed after to roll, and his students are well trained & challenging opponents. I was impressed with everyone’s skill and their hospitality. If you’re local and want to learn, this is a solid choice.
Best gym out there, amazing atmosphere, amazing people and amazing teachers. John is an amazing instructor and very patient with new people, 10/10 recommend this place to everyone
I've been training at Sanity for the past two months, Lyanne and Jon are extremely nice and helpful. Both are great at breaking down the techniques, explaining the areas I could improve, and what I'm doing well. Thanks for the help, can't wait for the next roll. 👊
Update 11/11/24 it's been 2.5 years now and instill can't imagine a better place to train. Great coaches great team mates and overall great experience.
My son practiced with Coach Jon for 4 month. He really enjoyed his daily practices. Coaches are very professional and patient. Gym is always clean and full of joy. We love this Sanity! Highly recommended!
I've trained at 4 different Jiu Jitsu academies and Sanity is, by far, the best. Whether you're an adult or child, Sanity is the place for you. All experience levels will benefit from training here. There are lots of good people already training at Sanity and you would be joining a group that will heighten your skill in jiu jitsu while also providing an environment that is right for you. Whether you want to compete, be a hobbyist, or just have fun while maintaining physical fitness, Sanity is for you!
Very welcoming gym and family-owned and operated. The mats were really clean and the coaches were fantastic. I stopped by for open mat while visiting Winter Garden and they made me feel like I was a member of the gym as soon as I walked through the door. Definitely recommend joining if you live in the area.
Jon and Lyanne are amazingly talented Jiu Jitsu practitioners who have a knack for connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds. I am a black belt and they have been so supportive and helpful to myself over the years, as well as many other people I know. Anyone in the area would be very wise to check them out. Jiu Jitsu can be a life altering activity, and Jon and Lyanne are the perfect folks to help you. Can’t recommend them enough!!
Coaches Lyanne and Jon are amazing instructors and I love the way their classes are structured. They are both extremely knowledgeable and decorated. Classes are great for both recreational and competitive training and they adapt to fit your needs. The community and environment are both super welcoming and supportive. Everyone is there to help each other improve each and every day. I started about 6 months ago and have no plans of stopping!! Thank you both for your commitment to my health, well being, and progress.
Since the first day I entered the gym the owners were extremely welcoming. The facility is beautiful, clean, and gives good vibes. John and lyanne are amazing! They have helped me numerous times and welcomed me very well every time. I can’t thank them enough for all their kindness, knowledge and help!! 100% recommend checking them out!!
During my vacation I was able to stop in for two classes and had a excellent experience. The academy is family friendly, easy to find, and the students introduced themselves right away. Jon ran a fun class with great instruction. I would recommend this academy to anyone in the Orlando area!!!!!!!
Fantastic place to train. Everyone is very friendly and respectful, the mats are always clean. Jon and Lyanne are great coaches, they break things down into an easy to understand manner whilst also providing plenty of details. Very good vibes at this gym. Would recommend to anyone local or visiting. The women’s class on Wednesdays is a great place to start if you’re a woman looking to get into jiu jitsu!
Very clean facility and welcoming gym! I was in town for vacation and dropped by the gym twice for some rolls. Once during the 1130 class and once during the 0630 class. Both times, the other gym members and instructors were respectful and I got some good instruction and rolls in. Everyone was super chill and there was no ego rolling or smashing. Would recommend if you live in the area or are swinging by during a vacation! I'll be back!
Outstanding school and instruction! Gym was clean, students/instructors were kind and welcoming, & instructions was fantastic. I felt very welcome. Would highly recommend!
John and Lyanne are great gym owners. I dropped in as a visitor and trained here with a couple of great partners and friends and was welcomed openly. I had a lot of fun rolling with John and everyone who I trained with and talked to was friendly. Truly had a blast at open mat. I look forward to dropping in from time to time. Also, the gym has a great feel and the dogs are awesome to hang with when done rolling. Highly recommended!
Such a great gym! The black belts Jon and Lyanne are very welcoming and have such a positive and uplifting attitude towards training Jiu Jitsu. Everyone here is a lot of fun to roll with, no egos and no politics!
There’s a huge mat space in the middle with a nice big seating area up front. Parking out back, restroom, changing room, bag storage, water - very accommodating space. This is a great place for anyone to learn and train Jiu Jitsu
Coming to a new gym can be intimidating and we thought we would never find another gym like the one we left in Maine. We could not of been more wrong, Jon and Lyanne welcomed us right in and made us feel at home. The kids classes are amazing and my boys never want to miss a class. My wife has a prior injury she’s rehabbing at the moment, and the care they show to make her feel safe and protected are above and beyond. The instruction is amazing and the environment of mutual respect and fun is reflected in all the students as well. We are lucky to call this our gym and be apart of the sanity community!
I went to Sanity tonight for the first time. I was welcomed right away and made to feel at ease. This is a comfortable and relaxed Jiu Jitsu environment. We learned from Jon...that's what he wanted to be called. Jon. Not "professor" or "master" and he didn't require a bow. He stuck out his hand an introduced himself as Jon. The mats are beautiful bright and clean white, and the lighting was great for learning. I felt very comfortable in my own Gi. It was I wish I had photos of how nice the place was. Anyway, check it out!
Sanity Jiu Jitsu is the place to be if you're in the area! The coaching makes sense, even if it's your first time on the mats. My husband and I dropped in while on vacation, and Jon and his team made me feel right at home! There's a lot to learn here and the passion for the art shows.
Excellent place! John our instructor was great, super knowledgeable, and extremely kind and patient. My wife and I dropped in on a trip down from New Jersey and they accommodated us and made us feel welcome and included immediately. Clean, great space, and great instruction. Highly recommend!
Sanity Jiu Jitsu has been a game changer for me on multiple fronts. It’s been incredible for weight loss.l which was my primary goal. But Sanity has also lived up to its name by having a significant impact on my mental well being. Amazing stress reliever. The requirement to be focused and in the moment leaves no room for stress.
What’s even better is that my kids joined me in training at Sanity. The kids are absolutely loving it. I don’t have to drag them to class I have to limit how often they go. It’s even motivation to get homework done!
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jon and Lyanne. Both amazing practitioners and instructors that have cultivated a culture that is 2nd to none.
Nothing but excellence. Sanity offers a great environment where you will learn and develop your jiu jitsu skills. Either if you want break the routine, get in good shape, make friends or learn an efficient martial art, Sanity is the place where you can find the whole package - the best!
Sanity Jiu Jitsu is not just an academy it's a family. Jon and Lyanne are amazing coach's that not only teach Jiu Jitsu but life changing skills. Watching my two girls over the past 7 months grow into young confidant young women is incredible. Sanity Jiu Jitsu is not only for kids. I too have joined and loss weight, built up stamina, all while having fun.
If you think you can't because you're too old, or too broken, take it from me. Jon and Lyanne's coaching style can fit anyone. Come try it once and I promise you will be hooked.
Stopped in here to get some extra mat time after competing at pans. Everyone was super fun to roll with and I learned a few new tricks :) Not to mention they had a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. I would recommend this gym to anyone in the area and I look forward to coming back.
If you're in the market for a Jiu-jitsu school that has a welcoming atmosphere, instructors who focus on every student, a variety of types of classes at an affordable price then look no further than Sanity. I couldn't imagine rolling anywhere else. Thank you Jon and Lyanne for all that you guys do to make sure this school is top notch.
This place passes the “vibe check”. My wife and I both train here. Not only are the head instructors decorated competitors and experienced coaches, they are also awesome people to be around. Being new to Florida in recent years, I was worried I’d never find a gym with the same camaraderie/homey feeling as my hometown gym..then I found sanity. Proud to say I’m a student of Jon and Lyanne’s
Jon and Lyanne have built a great community in the short time they’ve been open. This is a terrific place for both adults and kids to learn jiu jitsu, and there’s a real emphasis on instruction that you don’t find at every gym. Couldn’t recommend Sanity more highly- if you’ve been thinking of trying BJJ, this is the place to do it!!
This place seems like another home! Everyone is so kind and respectful to one another. I was nervous going to my first class, but that quickly subsided after getting to know everyone. Top notch owners/trainers. Could not ask for a better place to gain knowledge and train!
10/5 stars! Definitely recommend!
Jon and Lyanne are seriously great coaches! They are both patient while pushing me to be the best me I can be! And if you're looking for a fun way to burn serious calories, this is the way to do it! I've lost 55 lbs (in counting, still losing!) since starting Jiu Jitsu at Sanity about 6 months ago. The gym culture just keeps me coming back, trying my best to get better and better!
It was a pleasure dropping in to train at Sanity. The atmosphere here fosters a great learning environment for all levels of BJJ practitioners. I also had the pleasure of having my daughter take one of the kids classes; which she greatly enjoyed! I will say that I appreciate the fact that this gym is strictly BJJ in comparison to other gyms in the area. Will definitely return when able and recommend to family members in the area. Thank you for your hospitality and professionalism! 🇯🇵
If you're reading this review it's because you are seeking to learn and train jiu jitsu from reputable and experienced practitioners. Don't miss out on this opportunity to train with Jon and Lyanne.
I stopped by from out of town and thoroughly enjoyed the class instruction and sparring sessions. They were inviting, knowledgeable, and humble.
Jon folded me up with minimal effort respectfully. 100% legit black belt.
When I rolled with Lyanne I had no idea I was training with a PANS champion! What a humbling and amazing experience.
Do yourself a favor and go train with Sanity Jiu Jitsu.
A great place to train jiu jitsu! I dropped in from out of town and was welcomed immediately. The technique of the day was well thought out, effective, and was explained clearly. Jon and Lyanne are great instructors and provided fun, technical rolls. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone of any skill level interested in jiu jitsu/self defense. I look forward to dropping in again anytime I am in town.
Great place to train! I’m from out of town, but Jon welcomed me with open arms and triangle chokes. I will definitely make this a must visit whenever I’m in town and definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for chill environment and great instructor’s.
Very good! The instructors are nice and welcoming, and the place is clean. No one makes you do anything you are uncomfortable with. The instructors are very good at teaching and never get frustrated when you don't understand something. Highly recommend!
I have had the pleasure of training with Jon Perrine for several years. As a professional educator, i can tell you with absolute certainty that you will not find a better instructor. Jon is knowledgeable, detailed, able to make difficult ideas simple, and a great communicator. On top of that, he is an excellent person. I am certain that your experience at Sanity will be a great one. Making the choice to train Jiu-Jitsu is always a good one. Making the choice to train Jiu-Jitsu with Jon is the best one you can make.
I have had the pleasure of learning from Jon and Lyanne for the past 6 years. They are amazing instructors and are truly invested in the growth of their students.
Happy to be one of the first students in the new gym. Jon and Lyanne are both excellent instructors. They push you to challenge yourself and really help you develop not just the skills in Jiu-Jitsu but a genuine appreciation and passion for it.
Hands down, the best jiu-jitsu academy in the area. Jon & Lyanne's technical, as well as theoretical knowledge of this art is par excellence. And the best part, I always have a fun time when I train with them. Their genuine, kind, and down-to-earth demeanors are both refreshing and endearing - the kind of folks I want to call friends. Great people, great jiu-jitsu.

We attended the grand opening at Sanity Jiu Jitsu. We are happy that we attended and joined Sanity. The instructors are great with new students. Great atmosphere, friendly, great training with a focus on technique and a great facility.
Sanity Jiu Jitsu is a great place for your kids to get a good work out and improve their coordination, strength and agility. They will train hard and learn to defend themselves while having a blast under the guidance of expert coaches!
Jon and Lyanne are amazing instructors. I have had the privilege to learn jiu jitsu with them for the past 3 years and their knowledge is priceless! I got the chance to visit Sanity when I was in town this month and their space is wonderful and welcoming. Sanity is the place to be if you are looking to build your confidence through jiu jitsu and self-defence, meet fitness goals, and have a great time!
Jon and Lyanne are both very skilled and knowledgeable black belts! They create an inviting, safe, and positive atmosphere to train. I've trained with many people and under multiple instructors over the last 12 years and would highly recommend Sanity Jiu Jitsu!
Wonderful place for kids to learn the basics of JiuJitsu. My son loves it and is always eager to go. The instructors take the time to explain things very thoroughly and walk the kids through step by step to minimize any possible injury. They are very patient and keep it fun.
Jon has a unique ability to dissect complex, high level Jiu Jitsu, and present it in digestible doses, no matter one’s level, that they can begin implementing immediately. Highly recommend studying the Gentle Art under him!
I have had the pleasure of training with Lyanne a handful of times, but each time was so valuable due to her wealth of knowledge and ability to break things down in a way that meets you at your level. Check out this amazing school and learn from one of the best! Also try to not get distracted by her gorgeous hair !
Let me tell you why you should train here. These two are world-class competitors that have trained world class competitors. This is not a "new school." These two have taught classes for years. You are in good, capable, knowledgeable, hands with Jon and Lyanne.
I have taken many private lessons from Jon and learned a lot in the past five years. Jon was awesome about sharing his time and knowledge to help me and other improve and grow in Jiu Jitsu or just working out. Jon and Lyanne are amazing people who genuinely love helping others learn, grow, and heal. I cannot express enough my gratitude for the two and how fortunate Florida is having Jon and Lyanne!
I have known and trained song side Lyanne and Jon for 5 years and the amount of knowledge I have gained from these two is limitless. They gave me the tools to define my Jiujitsu technique and they sparked a fire in me to continue competing. With their help I have grown so much as a Jiujitsu athlete not to mention Lyanne is a massage therapist and she has helped me manage the pain of some long term injuries. These two will change your lives and help mold you into a better person
Jon Perrine and Lyanne Perez are both extremely high qualified and incredible instructors. They are friendly, personable, dedicated, and amazing people. You or your kids will feel at home here with them as your Professors! Try a class! It just might change your life!
