14 years ago today Master Carlson Gracie passed away. 

Master Carlson helped the growth of BJJ and MMA more than most people realize. I feel fortunate that I was able to meet him and earn my BJJ Black Belt under one of his highest ranked students Master Marcus Soares.

The picture below is in 2006 with myself with Master Carlson Gracie and Marcus Soares.
