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 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Revolution Team academy.
