If you want to learn from one of the best professors in the entire country, come here (seriously). I could write a huge rant on why, but this is one of things you have to come see. I'll keep it short and sweet: Visited a lot of academies and schools in my travels, and there are certainly good black belts out there... But one you learn from an expert's expert, who are rare and far between, you don't want to go anywhere else. Whether you're a guy, gal, or looking for a place for the kiddos, young and old, first class or hundredth, start here. Thank me later (and tell everyone I said hi)

Professor Brian gives you a place to grow. He is detail oriented and is great at managing this school. With him guiding my path I belief I’ve found deeper understanding and a more efficient approach to BJJ and not just Jiu jit su but to LIFE. This will teach you to be calm, and effective in terribly difficult situations not only during the roll but through difficulties in life. Embrace the difficulties and progress with us. We have a great group and we’re always ready to help people out that are seeking what we did and are still seeking self growth. Thanks for reading and come meet the group!

I love Gracie Jiu Jitsu. I started right before covid and it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Professor Brian is a skilled teacher and black belt. Can't wait to get back to training. If your looking to learn a martial art and/or learn how to defend yourself then you've found the right place. Everyone I met in class are friendly and are as eager to learn as myself.

I started at Gracie Sarasota in January with no background in martial arts. It’s an awesome place to learn and challenge yourself with an incredible instructor and a great group of people. Brian is knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly talented. He is able to deconstruct the art form and methodically teach it to all levels. It’s been a great experience that I’m so glad to be a part of.

You will need to talk to your doctor about the risks you may incur by performing rigorous exercise. They will know best about what your body can safely handle.
There is a chance of physical injury with any form of exercise. We take very special care to supervise all exercises to see that the students are performing them correctly. Sparring is only performed at higher levels by those who wish to participate and we feel have the skills to spar in a safe manner.
Certainly. We teach them skills that will help with their coordination, flexibility and strength. We make sure that the activities we assign are appropriate for the child’s athletic level.
No. Martial arts are used for self-defense and as a last resort. The core principles of Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sarasota Academy is solving problems by peaceful resolution and having the self-confidence to not rely on violent behavior.
