allthingsBJJ.com teamed up again with our good friends at MoyaBrand to present our tribute to one of the most influential Grandmasters of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in current history.
February 1st is the 7th anniversary of Carlson Gracie Sr.'s Passing. The martial art, sport and hobby we love may be very different or maybe we would all be doing something different if it wasn't for Carlson. Carlson was the family champion and avenged several losses for the family that would have otherwise cast a shadow on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu early on in Brazil.
From 2001 up until his passing in 2006, he called Chicago, Illinois his home. It is pretty well understood that most any homegrown black belt in Chicago has some ties to Carlson.
His Jiu Jitsu accomplishments are well documented, but sometimes what is overshadowed is what was most unique, special, and noteworthy in his life: how he carried himself in the warrior spirit, and his genuine kindness for everyone he met.
We spent months criss-crossing Illinois and Indiana tracking down those who were fortunate enough to share the last chapter of Carlson's life with him. What we found was that everyone had the same thing to say about Carlson... he was tough and very opinionated, but yet friendly, caring, simple, humble, and energetic. In the words of his own son Carlson Gracie Jr., "He'd give his soul to help people."
We hope this special project serves as a small token of our appreciation for everything that Master Carlson Gracie Sr. has done for the world of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Special thanks to those who shared their stories with us.

Master Carlson Gracie is a true Legend, I have nothing but respect and apreciation for him, for his legacy and for his good example. Osssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you like the video! We appreciate you watching. We would have loved to have the old school guys as well if we had the resources. Maybe for next year? :) Much of what is heard on the internet of Carlson is second and third hand accounts, we agree that it is time his real personal story was told first hand.
Carlson gracie sr was the top dog of the gracies
Thank you Mr. Gracie for all that you have done. I didn't know you personally but I can feel the impact you had in this world. You did a great job of mentoring one of my best friends Richard Ritchey. Thank you and rest in peace. =)
This is a wonderful tribute and I really appreciate the effort into producing it, and also the candid interviews.
Thank you for a solid 15 minutes highlighting a great man! Truly professional grade.

O lutador Euclides Pereira perdeu a primeira vez para o lutador paraibano Ivan Gomes, por desistência, depois de 1h:55min de embate, no "Adauto Moraes", em Juazeiro-BA, após o 13º assalto. Há registros fotográficos e jornalístico da época que compravam tal notícia: é o jornal O Farol, de Juazeiro-PB (de 24/02/1966). A outra derrota de Euclides para Ivan Gomes foi documentada pelo Diário da Borborema, de 24/05/1969, de Campina Grande-PB, onde neste jornal tinha como destaque o título "Vitória Sensacional de Ivan sôbre Euclides no 3º round". A foto
do final desta luta foi publicada recentemente no livro IVAN GOMES: O LUTADOR IMBATÍVEL, da autora Cléa Cordeiro Rodrigues. Isso não tira o brilho do grande lutador que foi Euclides Pereira. Isso à parte,foram computadas de Ivan 600 lutas extra-oficiais, 300 oficiais. Destas últimas, 270 vitórias e 30 empates. Ivan derrotou Waldemar Santana e empatou com Carlson Gracie. Fez 85 lutas no Japão. Destas, empatou 8 e ganhou 77 vezes. Ivan Gomes empatou em 1974 com o bicampeão olímpico de karatê, o holandês Willem Huska, luta ocorrida no Maracanãzinho e que foi transmitida pela Rede Globo. Deu empate. Ivan também foi mestre da luta greco-romana e fez numerosas atuações na Korea com Inoke - fundador do Pride. Fez várias lutas nos States e Suriname. Os irmãos de Ivan também foram campeões das artes marciais. Ivan morreu em 1990, aos 50 anos de idade. Lutou por 16 anos ininterruptos.
Senior's method and spirit lives on within his London Team.
Very well done, great production quality - can't wait to see more! I know it's probably a lot to ask, but I'd really love to see Carlson's Elite Team reflect on their time with him - how cool would that be?! Regardless - it's about dam time Carlson Sr's story gets told! Thank you for this! Keep em coming!
Thank you Cyz4, we have some awesome things coming up in next few months.
Nice......lets get part 2 out ASAP
awesome I hope part 2 talks more about the original team, LIBORIO, Bustamante, Walid etc....
That was great, thanks for upload.
