GRACIE MAGAZINE #200 is available now!!

                   

We visited Carlos Gracie Jr.’s home in Florianópolis to unveil the coral-belt’s secrets in nutrition, training and life philosophy. At 57, Carlinhos boasts tremendous health, and nothing better than a chat in his habitat to reveal all the details that help him carry the banner of BJJ and go on teaching with a black-belt’s tenacity for so long.

Fire in the eyes

As much as the stern face of Wallid Ismail and the stories surrounding him may frighten those who know him superficially, this BJJ staple, who for years was synonymous with competitive Jiu-Jitsu, coolly sat down with GRACIEMAG to discuss the details of his life as an athlete, complete with its highs and lows, much training, and great conquests. He talks about his time as a Carlson Gracie pupil and gives some wise advice to younger athletes.

A question of style
