“'Oscar' muito provavelmente se trata do nome de Carlos grafado equivocadamente [...] Na notícia, 'Oscar Gracie' e Donato são apresentados como alunos do famoso esportista paraense Jacyntho Ferro, este sim, discípulo directo de Maeda”

Aqui, depois de algumas demosntrações, organisou um gymnasio e eu [Carlos] fui um dos primeiros alunos [...] há registos que Maeda deu aulas, em 1916, no Paysandu Sport Club, em Belém, cidade onde Carlos residia com a sua família”
“Fui aluno do célebre Conde Koma, no Pará [...] e nessa época Carlos Gracia também estava aprendendo”
blockdisputes“Esclarecer a verdade, isto é, dizer que o Sr. Gracie nunca foi diplomado por Conde Koma (que nem ao menos conhece)”
alt_routeIndirect“Pela Escola Koma, accentuou, de onde sahiram os Gracies, pretendo difundir em São Paulo o systema de defesa pessoal, obedecendo a um critério especial para cada classe social”
“De alguma forma havia os irmãos Gracie. O pai deles era dono de circo e o Conde Koma era próximo dele. E acontecei que os filhos se tornaram discípulos do Conde Koma e aprenderam Judô”
blockdisputes alt_routeIndirect“Carlos wasn’t Kano and neither was he a Kodokan graduate. In fact, he didn’t hold a black-belt or even any certification under any other style. According to the evidence available, his real teacher was a famed sportsman of the Brazilian Amazon called Jacyntho Ferro.”

1 source expand_moreFrederico MuñozResearcher, Martialisfact_checkSeveral sources mention Carlos Gracie Sr. teaching his brothers, and George specifically“O que sabemos de fato é que, Maeda ensinou Judô a Carlos Gracie em virtude da afinidade com seu pai, Gastão Gracie. Carlos por sua vez ensinou a seus demais irmãos, em especial a Hélio Gracie. Neste ponto surgem duas teorias. A primeira alega que Maeda ensinou somente o judô de Jigoro Kano a Carlos, e esse o repassou a Hélio, que era o mais franzino dos Gracie, adaptando-o com grande enfoque no Ne-waza - técnicas de solo do judô, ponto central do Gracie jiu-jitsu ou brasilian jiu-jitsu. Para compensar seu biotipo, a partir dos ensinamentos de Carlos, Hélio aprimorou a parte de solo pelo uso do dispositivo de alavanca, dando-lhe a força extra que o mesmo não dispunha. A segunda teoria, apoiada pelos Gracies, fala que Maeda era, também, exímio praticante de Ju-jutsu tradicional e foi essa a arte que ensinou aos brasileiros. Porém, em uma recente entrevista, Hélio Gracie afirma que 'Carlos lutava judô', veja a entrevista http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG309oqVLb4”
