Why Carlson Gracie HATED Helio's BJJ System | Robert Drysdale Pt. 3

Most people believe the Gracie family was a united front, but behind the scenes, a massive rift was forming that would change Jiu-Jitsu forever. In Part 3 of our series with Robert Drysdale, we go deep into "The Split." Why did Carlson Gracie fundamentally reject Helio’s teaching methodology? Was the "Grandmaster" legacy overhyped? We explore the brutal rivalry between uncle and nephew, the shift from self-defense to high-level competition, and why Carlson is arguably the most influential figure in BJJ history—even if he often goes under the radar.
