About

Carlos Gracie Jr

Carlos Gracie Jr. was born on January 17, 1956, and grew up immersed in his family’s tradition of fighters. Following the life philosophy and teachings of his father, Carlos Gracie Sr., he had the opportunity to learn from some of the most influential figures in the history of the Gracie family: Carlos Gracie, Helio Gracie, and his brother Rolls Gracie. During his childhood and adolescence, he lived in the iconic house of Teresópolis, located in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro. This environment, where the children of Carlos Gracie and Helio Gracie trained and lived together, played a crucial role in shaping his character.

In that setting, everyone had to share resources, learn from one another, and develop a strong sense of community. This model of coexistence deeply influenced Carlos Gracie Jr., shaping his worldview and later his approach to Jiu-Jitsu. Over time, he successfully extended these values beyond his family, applying them on a large scale at Gracie Barra. His success in various professional fields is largely tied to these principles and the collaborative spirit he helped to foster.
