I’m a big fan of Clark Gracie.  Not only do I love his omoplatta attacks but I also admire his fighting spirit.  He competes a lot and he sometimes loses.  I have seen him lose quite a few matches.  But despite these set-backs he is always in the next championship competing hard and he has won his share of medals as well, including the 2013 Pan Ams a few weeks ago!!  As a Gracie he could sit in his academy and teach, make books and dvds and collect money.  But that is not him,  I see him always improving and evolving every year.  Putting his reputation on the line and making his own way instead of living off the family name!
