Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sarasota Academy

“I can't say enough about the quality of the art of Jiu-Jitsu you will learn when you choose to show up at an academy that doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to knowledge, that is skillfully passed down from the source. I have been blessed to take private instruction from Professor Brian O'Leary for a few years and am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to learn from the BEST!”

“I absolutely love coming to Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sarasota! Professor Brian has created a wonderful culture and learning environment for everyone. He provides quality Gracie Jiu Jitsu training for self defense and competition training. More importantly you will find an amazing community and support to help you achieve your goals.”

“Great place for kids! My daughter Julia absolutely loved it! Brian and Galen are great professors and very patient. I highly recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Sarasota.”

“I have taken several classes so far and have experienced a great friendly environment. I’ve already learned so much but I can tell there is endless knowledge to be shared about Jiu Jitsu and skills you can use in life as well. I highly recommend Brian as an instructor to anyone who may be interested regardless of experience.”

“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.”
