“We are so happy that we found Gracie Jiu Jitsu of Citrus County. We have all 3 of our children training here (8 and 11 & 16). They have been attending for about 2 and a half years. Chris Holmes is the most amazing teacher. When you become part of the Gracie/Pedro Sauer family it truly does mean family. Two year's ago our son suffered a serious TBI at an unrelated business, he is on a multiple year recovery plan. Immediately following the accident Chris was following his journey with the utmost amount of concern. He genuinely cares about his students well-being, he abhors bullies, he nurtures growth, he brings out the inner strength and he has the most positive outlook of anybody I have ever met. I have seen Chris just sitting on the mat with the children, talking with them about his path within the Jiu Jitsu family, showing them his belt journey, he even let them each put on his black belt and to see their faces as they realized what goes into achieving that level of success was magical. Chris truly cares. Chris takes the time to learn about your child and understand his/her nuances. His patience appears to be never-ending and I have never seen him lose his cool whatsoever. When you attend with your children you are sitting amongst family. We are so grateful for all that Chris has personally done for our family's recovery in the last two years. We would never look anywhere else for an activity of this type for any of our children. I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend Gracie Jiu Jitsu of Citrus County.”

“Dropped into Gracie of Citrus County with my son and had an amazing experience. Professor introduced us to the class, led an effective worm up, separated the class by skill to make sure everyone had the right training. Roll with the higher level lower belts was fun. Had great conversation with professor and can’t wait to visit again!”

“The staff here is amazing with kids. My son gained so much confidence after only a few classes. There is good order and discipline instilled here. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone with kids. I see the progress every day not only with my son but all the kids here.”

“Chris and Heather are incredibly kindhearted and hardworking individuals! They’ve been amazing with my son, who has both autism and ADHD. Thanks to their dedication and guidance, I’ve seen significant improvements in his behavior and respect. I couldn’t ask for better instructors – they are truly my go-to team! 🥋 🫡”
