On this episode of The Council of Dude, we sit down with Legend Igor GracieBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, MMA veteran, proud member of the legendary Gracie family, and a dedicated family man. Beyond the medals, fights, and championships, Igor embodies the values of discipline, humility, and balance both on the mats and at home.

As the head instructor and owner of Igor Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academies in New Rochelle, Eastchester and Harrison, Igor has built thriving schools where students learn not just techniques, but respect, resilience, and brotherhood. In this conversation, we dive into Igor's journey through competition, teaching, fatherhood, and what it truly means to carry a family legacy while raising a family of his own.
