Gracie Jiu Jitsu of Citrus County is a part of the Pedro Sauer Association in Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Both owners, Kathy Ortiz and Chris Holmes, met and became training partners in the D.C. area in a Pedro Sauer school. They seek to provide the Citrus County area with the same high quality Gracie Jiu Jitsu and self-defense programs that they encountered in Pedro Sauer schools.
Master Pedro Sauer has been their direct teacher. He was a student under Helio Gracie, the founder of Gracie Jiu Jitsu and the only non-Gracie family member who has been granted the use of the name Gracie Jiu Jitsu for the type of Jiu Jitsu he teaches.
