Can't someone add a neutrality tag to this article?[edit]

It's obviously nothing but self serving bullshit. Nothing more. Not even half of it is sourced, and I removed an obviously self serving claim about how he "will always be remembered."

The only way he'll be remembered by the BJJ community is by being a greedy, undeserving asshole capitalizing on his family's skills. Certainly not his own. Look at youtube if you need to question my analysis.. he's terrible at his own "sport."

I believe that the article is very neutral. It's simply what the GRacie Barra is all about.

Critique and Response[edit]

There is a place for critique and response in the main article but because it is biographical about a living person it is really important to keep a neutral point of view. The CBJJ is already mentioned in this article and has its own. I don't think the below fits in well in its current form and tone.Peter Rehse (talk) 07:43, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Though everyone said Gracie Barra was a bad idea, in little over one year the students grew from 20 to 200, most were either surfers or/and local hard men looking for a challenge. With time different Jiu Jitsu academies started opening all over Rio, many formed by Carlson Gracie’s black belts. Carlos saw a need for an organized competition and a credible federation, being the visionary that he is, he created CBJJ – “Confederação de Brazilian Jiu Jitsu“.

Although Many have fought through the years against this CBJJ for the lack of a democratic election, lack of prize money’s for the competitors or even the over pricing of its competitions, the matter of fact is that many federations have come and gone, and the CBJJ is still standing as the most prestigious and best organized federation in Jiu Jitsu and it’s titles are still regarded as the most prestigious by the Jiu Jitsu community. In the mean time, in between opening academies and federations, Carlos still managed to produce some of the very best BJJ fighters and coaches the world has to offer and have the most successful BJJ team in History, the one with the most international titles all around.
