Carlson was one of the greats, he tought many. Carlson made many champions, and made jujitsu what it is today. Everything that has been said was and is needed. He was one of the greatest MMA fighters and trainers, no one will ever be able to replace him. My prayers are with his family and friends. I hope that his sons will carry on were Master Gracie left off on training everyone in the Gracie camp. My best wishes, prayers are with the family. He made what MMa is today, Carlson showed us the good side of the way to fight. R.I.P. my friend.

With two of my training partners I had the chance to meet and have a picture taken with Carlson at the 2005 Pan-Ams. He went out of his way to make sure the picture would come out good. I was in awe of meeting this living ledgend. I could feel his greatness as I stood next to him. I regret that I never trained with him……but have trained with Alex Derizans, one of his Blackbelts, so I feel I have a part of him inside me. RIP Carlson…miss you …peace

Carlson will be missed. While he was a legendary fighter, he was also a devoted teacher. I miss him greatly, and thank him for sharing his knowledge with so many.

Wow..I was also at his San Diego Seminar. I got passed out all the way because of his belief in training “REAL”. Its just crazy to think the he was just here passing out his dog stickers and now he’s gone. I wish I could have learned more from him.

I had the honor of training under Carlson Gracie Sr. since he first came to Chicago in the Spring of ‘02 or ‘03 (my mind is a blur now). He was like a father to me and those who came to know him. A caring soul whose passion for the sport of jiu-jitsu was only surpassed by his dedication to his students. Jiu-Jitsu and the MMA world mourn his passing. For those of us who knew him well, our world will never be the same – our paths better defined as we carry on – guided by the strength that is Carlson. With heavy hearts we say “Poja” – rest in peace our friend.

He was a true gentleman.
He will be dearly missed here in the UK.
I met him a couple of years ago, and had the pleasure to spend most of a weekend with him.

May he rest in peace.
