Clark Gracie Biography

Clark Gracie was born on the 17th of July, 1984 in Solano County, California – United States of America, but grew up in-between San Francisco and Rio de Janeiro. He is the grandson of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu founder Carlos Gracie (senior) and son of another grappling legend – Carley Gracie.

From a very young age, Clark Gracie was inspired by his father and family members to train and compete in Jiu-Jitsu. Always seeking for the best training possible to improve his own game, Clark moved to San Diego where he joined the Revolution Team led by Rodrigo Medeiros. At RT Clark found some of the toughest training partners in the region which helped him develop as a martial artist. During this period Clark Gracie became well known in North America’s Grappling circuit winning several important tournaments at a national and international level, always under the guidance of his father.

After a sequence of great results by Clark Gracie, he was awarded his well deserved black belt on May 2010 from the hands of his father Carley Gracie in a ceremony held at the BJJ Revolution Team academy.
