CLARK GRACIE ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Clinch Gear athlete Clark Gracie, the newly crowned Pan Am Jiu Jitsu Middleweight Champion, was on the Good Morning America show today as the “ridiculously photogenic” Jiu Jitsu guy for his photo (above) at the New York International Jiu Jitsu Open in 2012. The photo shows Clark being as smooth and calm as ever while holding his opponent in an omoplata shoulder lock, or as some have come to call it, the Clarkoplata. The photo has gone viral with people attaching captions such as “Here To Break Limbs, Ends Up Breaking Hearts” and “He’s Got The Key-Lock To Your Heart.” Congratulations to Clark for the national media attention and for winning the 2013 Pan Am Gold Medal.
