About Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sarasota Academy
Gracie Jiu Jitsu Sarasota Academy, established in 1994, is a Gracie Humaita-lineage school founded and led by Professor Brian O'Leary, a 3rd-degree black belt who trained under Professor David Adiv of Gracie Jiu Jitsu New Jersey — the man who spearheaded the Royler Gracie-David Adiv Jiu Jitsu Team in the US. The academy publishes its lineage explicitly as Helio Gracie to Royler Gracie to David Adiv, and reports 16 students at blue belt or higher among 49+ members. Classes follow a consistent 90-minute structure: 30 minutes of functional warm-up and stretching, 30 minutes of instructor-led technique and drilling in pairs, then 30 minutes of positional sparring and open rolling.
