@barrettokarate thnx man

@apraku1000 Yes he is Brazilian. He was born there but when he was a kid he and his mom lived in the US for a few years before moving back to Brazil. Then in 1990 he came back & taught BJJ with Rorion before opening his own school.
I’ve never heard him speak in Portuguese either. Maybe he only speaks it with family and other native speakers. There are a few other Gracie's with blond hair, & blue, hazel, or green eyes. For some reason they're just not as well known as the darker complected ones.

@d3rfliw Ignorance is definitely a bliss for you Sr.

@d3rfliw The Gracie family's ancestry was originally from Scotland. Brazil is a very racially diverse country & the Gracie's have lived there for at least 7 generations now and have obviously intermarried with many of the country's non-white population. Most especially those from Helio Gracie's lineage are darker complected, but some Gracies from Carlos' side do have lighter features.
Also Cesar lived in the US as a teenager with his mom for several years which is why his English is so good.
