the team
Throughout a lifetime devoted to the growth of Jiu-Jitsu and the development of Gracie Barra, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. has always led with clear principles and strong values. Brotherhood, expansion, and integrity are at the core of everything he has built.
As he often shares:
“My life has always been committed to Jiu-Jitsu. From the beginning, my vision was to build a brotherhood that could help grow our art, while staying true to its essence. My students are part of my family, and my goal is to see each of them reach their full potential, not only in Jiu-Jitsu, but as individuals. In doing so, we honor the legacy and dedication of those who came before us.”
– Grand Master Carlos Gracie Jr.
