Wiki mentions Carlos Gracie was a follower of Helena Blavatsky (Madame Blavatsky) a well known mystic (demonic).
7 rays is an occult practice and demonic and historically became popular in modern times through Blavatsky. Does a lot of mixing with other religions and can stand for many things, even 7 celestial beings. Remember that there is only 1 God, the Father of Jesus Christ.

Some may remember Flynn basically using a word for word "prayer" of Blavatsky which might be why you are wondering why the name sounds familiar. Was a big ordeal back then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWg9PG6ZE8Y
7 rays and prayer and such come from Blavatsky's book 'The Secret Doctrine" https://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/sd/sd-hp.htm
Anyway, I'd bet there's more pedophiles related to that BJJ academy.
guess all Christianity is pedo too since that Texas mega pastor got arrested
this is quite the stretch, not all triangles mean pedo. It is one of the oldest symbols in the world and also the strongest shape.
And the Trinity can easily be understood from a triangle.
This is about as ridiculous as accusing Hindus using the swastika of being Nazis (the Nazis appropriated it from the Hindus).
Triangle within a triangle
Sure it could be innocent...but it's the pedo symbol all the same
“If you imagine a perfect triangle in three dimensions - in pyramid form - you can see how you can push it to either side, and it will always be stable. It regains its solid position every time. The application of this concept works that way. When you are mounted on your opponent and have three points of contact, he can move you around and you will easily find your third point again. No matter how or where he moves you, you will be able to find his third point of support”.

It is not even a "triangle within a triangle." It is a clever logo design. God forbid that the pedophiles start using circles, fish, and crosses as signs and symbols. Or letters of the Greek alphabet. Or Roman numerals. Or chrysanthemums or roses or tulips or daffodils.
Mmm...
I don't know. Imagine the hit to the MMA world this would create if true? It's not out of the realm of possibilities, but sometimes, a thing is just a thing with no ulterior motives behind it. It IS very possible that the Gracie family just doesn't know. Almost all of them still live in Brazil and may not even know about pedo symbology like we do here in the U.S.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things were made by Him and without Him was nothing made that was made....and the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. And we beheld His glory.... Gospel of John, paraphrased.
Jesus was and is the incarnation of the Creator. Jesus is God and referred to Himself as "I am".
I've trained there years ago and train at a different Gracie academy now but with none of those family members. Oddly I rarely hear nice things about the older family members. Keep in mind that they have a huge impact on children that are training at very young ages nowadays.
I knew a guy who had fought professionally in martial arts. He spoke often of the Gracies, but never in a good light. He thought they were pompous and weren't nearly as good as they wanted everyone to think they were.
