Gracie Barra North Charleston | Jiu-Jitsu and Martial Arts Academy
the team
In a life dedicated to the growth and development of Jiu-Jitsu and Gracie Barra, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. has always guided his efforts and actions based on principles and values. Among the values most evident in everything Master Carlinhos has built are brotherhood, expansion, and integrity. As he himself simply puts it:
"My life is dedicated to Jiu-Jitsu. My goal has always been to build a brotherhood to lead the expansion of Jiu-Jitsu while always respecting the essence of our art. My students are an extension of my family. I want each of my students to develop their potential as human beings, contributing to the growth of Jiu-Jitsu. We must do this while honoring the traditions and efforts of those who came before us."
– Carlos Gracie Jr.
