Not managed on Matador yetJiu JitsuMMAMuay Thai
Raiz Jiu-Jitsu is a family-focused martial arts academy in Sarasota, founded by black belt Professor Leo Lerner in the Carlson Gracie lineage. It teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu in both gi and no-gi, plus MMA, striking and Muay Thai, with classes running six days a week. Programs cover young children, kids, teens and adults, including a starter course for kids, fundamentals classes for true beginners and a competition-minded track. A homeschool daytime program and an anti-bullying and self-defense curriculum for children set it apart, and many families train together. Weekend open mats give students extra mat time, and a youth team competes at regional tournaments. New students can try a class with a loaner gi.
