Today is the "Grand Master" Carlson Gracie's birthday. Much Respect to the "Grand Mestre" Carlson for bringing Jiu-Jitsu to us all.... Happy Birthday to the greatest Gracie there ever was.... If he was alive today Master Carlson Gracie would be 82 years old. Here is my tribute to the man who changed Jiu-Jitsu and was no doubt the best gracie of all time.
