Learn Jiu Jitsu.

Jiu Jitsu for adults who want real technique, safer training, and lasting results.

Train Smarter. Move Better.

 Let’s face it: not everyone wants to “roll till they break” or chase BJJ medals every weekend. At Carlson Gracie Gainesville, we teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with intention, clarity, and respect for your body.

Led by Dr. Craig Sainz - a second-degree black belt and Doctor of Chiropractic - our program is built for adults who want to train smarter, not harder.

Whether you’re just starting out at 35 or getting back in shape at 55, you’ll get expert guidance that protects your joints, improves your mobility, and builds real confidence on and off the mats.

We focus on why each move matters. You’ll learn:

• clear mechanics

• technical drills

• control-based strategy

Classes are paced for growth, precision, and longevity, with no pressure to compete and no room for ego. Whether you’re a total beginner, a lifelong athlete, or somewhere in between, you’ll find a community here that values progress, patience, and power through proper movement.
