Carlson Gracie List of Black Belts
Carlson Gracie Black Belts list
Carlson Gracie, Sr. (August 13, 1935 – February 1, 2006)
The Carlson Gracie system is know to be the best transition to MMA and his brand of juijitsu favored a ‘warrior style’ of Jiu-Jitsu that encouraged physical prowess and barraging your opponent with a series of attacks which was distinct from that being taught by Helio which focused on emphasized technical proficiency.
Carlson opened up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the masses, and the masses responded, hungry to learn everything they could while Helio Gracie’s academy taught only the most basic positions to outsiders, reserving the advanced positions for the family elite.
Carlson reigned as world champion for thirty years covering the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s and to this day his brand of jiu-jitsu is the most aggressive and is considered the best form of jiujutsu to this day.
This Black Belts was the last one updated by Carlson Gracie himself. Notice that he signaled the guys that he had expelled but he hadn’t taken out their names from the list so anyone claiming to be a black belt directly under Carlson Gracie must be on this list or else is not telling the truth. The highest ranking black belt under Carlson Gracie is Marcus Soares at 7th degree black belt.
