-== Early life and education ==
-Carley was born at sea off the coast of [[Natal, Rio Grande do Norte|Natal]], Brazil, and was raised in [[Rio de Janeiro]] and [[Teresopolis]].
-The 11th child of [[Carlos Gracie]], he was the last member of the [[Gracie family]] to be trained by his father, and is known to be one of the most technical members of the Gracie family.<ref>[http://www.gracie.com/pubs/uk-combat1297.html CARLEY GRACIE The Combat Interview] ''Combat Magazine'', Paul Clifton, December 1997</ref>
-==Career==
-Carley was a champion in both jiu-jitsu and [[vale tudo]].{{citation needed|date=April 2016}} He received his jiu-jitsu black belt at the age of 22, and is currently certified a 9th degree Red-Belt by the [[jiu-jitsu Federation of Rio de Janeiro]] (the first certifying organization for the sport of Brazilian jiu-jitsu). Carley and his brothers [[Carlson Gracie]] and [[Rolls Gracie]] favored a much more active, 'warrior style' of jiu-jitsu that encouraged physical prowess and barraging your opponent with a series of attacks.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bjjlegends.com/bjj/bjj-news/jiujitsu-mma-news/item/475-an-interview-with-carlson-gracie-jr.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=October 13, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140111073043/http://www.bjjlegends.com/bjj/bjj-news/jiujitsu-mma-news/item/475-an-interview-with-carlson-gracie-jr.html |archivedate=January 11, 2014 }}</ref>
-The interest in sharing Gracie jiu-jitsu with the world inspired Carley to leave Brazil and establish his new home in the US and travel the world teaching the art. In 1972, Carley moved to the United States, where he fought challenge matches and trained students up and down the eastern seaboard.  Carley was the first member of the Gracie family to teach [[Brazilian jiu-jitsu]] in the United States, and gave classes at locations in Virginia and Florida before moving to California in 1979. He opened the first Brazilian/Gracie jiu-jitsu school in San Francisco, California, where he currently teaches.<ref>[http://www.carleygracie.com/thelion.html Carley Gracie] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207210931/http://www.carleygracie.com/thelion.html |date=February 7, 2009 }}.

-==Legal dispute==
-In 1994, Carley interceded on behalf of much of the Gracie Family in a dispute over use of the Gracie name in jiu-jitsu in the USA. His cousin [[Rorion Gracie]] had obtained a federal [[trademark]] registration for the term "Gracie jiu-jitsu" and was demanding that other members of the Gracie family stop using their surname (Gracie) in connection with jiu-jitsu instruction. Carley, who was the first Gracie to teach jiu-jitsu in the United States, challenged Rorion's registration and a lengthy legal battle followed. Carley ultimately won the lawsuit over the Gracie name, when the jury found that Rorion did not have a valid federal trademark registration for the name "Gracie jiu-jitsu." The [[Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals]] ruled in Carley's favor, affirmed his victory over the Gracie name and ordered the District Court Judge to cancel Rorion's federal trademark registration. The outcome of Carley winning the lawsuit was that all members of the Gracie family could use their name in  association with Gracie jiu-jitsu. It is believed that the outcome of Carley's legal victory allowed Gracie/Brazilian jiu-jitsu to expand and grow across the USA and elsewhere in the world.<ref>[http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/217/217.F3d.1060.98-16386.98-15672.html CARLEY GRACIE et al. v RORION GRACIE et al. - Docket Numbers 98-15672, 98-16386] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090522083358/http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/217/217.F3d.1060.98-16386.98-15672.html# |date=2009-05-22 }} [[United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit]]</ref>
