Our mission at Gustavo Machado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Sarasota (GM BJJ-SRQ) is to enhance our students lives through the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, “The Gentle Art.” Students will learn and master the skills required to take an opponent to the ground (take-downs), control an opponent through various combinations of structured movements to gain a dominant position (grappling), and using a number of techniques such as joint locks or strangulations to subdue one’s opponent (submission holds). At GMBJJ Sarasota, we provide our students with the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu education in a positive, uplifting, and family environment.
