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.
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.
