Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Carlos Gracie Junior > Renzo Gracie

Than Gunnar's should be:
Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Carlos Gracie Junior > Renzo Gracie > Gunnar Nelson

Carlos could of given him the BB, but it was Helio who trained Carlinhos. I will try to dig deeper who actually gave him the BB.

It should be: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie Sr. > Carlos Gracie Junior > Renzo Gracie > Gunnar Nelson
