CARLOS MACHADO
Owner & Master Instructor at Carlos Machado Jiu Jitsu Carrollton
I feel honored to have been one of the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the United States. I come from a lineage of BJJ legends, being the eldest of the Machado brothers and cousins to the Gracie family, who created this art. I started my training at the famous Gracie academy, where my uncle, Grandmaster Carlos Gracie, taught and guided me. I followed his footsteps and moved to Copacabana, where I learned from Rolls Gracie until his tragic death. I received my black belt from Carlos Gracie Junior and came to the USA in the early 1990s with my brothers. I founded the Carlos Machado Jiu Jitsu Association, a BJJ organization that is respected and growing worldwide. As a Coral Belt, I own and operate a successful academy in Carrollton, Texas, where I share my passion and experience with students of all levels and ages.
