Hi my name is Carlos Machado, the highest ranked (8th Degree) Black Belt in BJJ in the entire Southwest and the nephew of the founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Carlos Gracie.Carlos Machado is a former world master's champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Machado was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He is the eldest of the five Machado Brothers, including Roger, Rigan, Jean Jaques and John. He started martial arts at the age of four. My main instructor throughout my life has been my cousin Carlos Gracie, Jr. I have also trained with Helio Gracie, Carlson Gracie, Rolls Gracie, Rickson Gracie, Crolin Gracie and Rilion Gracie, as well as all his brothers. While in Brazil, he has successfully competed in several tournaments at state and national level. In April of 1990 he moved to Los Angeles, California. There he met martial arts movie star Chuck Norris, who was instrumental in promoting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the Machado family. Since then, Mr. Norris has been one of the greatest advocates of Machado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Carlos lived in Los Angeles until the end of 1995, when he moved to the city of Dallas, Texas. There he taught Brazilian jiu-jitsu out of the same building in which Chuck Norris's television show "Walker, Texas Ranger" was filmed. That allowed Machado not only to teach at his studio, but also to take part in many episodes of that popular show. He often assisted on choreographing fight scenes with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
