Carlson's Chicago students were very fortunate to have him so involved in their teaching by even demonstrating the techniques on a regular basis. Carlson could have a very intimidating presence, but once you got to know him you learned how to joke around with him and not be so moved by his criticism and requests. You have ignored this user.

matt murdock 144 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 14021	Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Jeff Neal (featured in the vid) brought JR to Chicago. I'm not sure how they linked up, but Jeff had been in the martial arts scene for a long time and is, I think, responsible for bring Carlson(s) to the city. You have ignored this user.

matt murdock - Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Jeff Neal (featured in the vid) brought JR to Chicago. I'm not sure how they linked up, but Jeff had been in the martial arts scene for a long time and is, I think, responsible for bring Carlson(s) to the city.

In the early 90's Jeff Neal traveled back and forth to California to train with Reylson Gracie and eventually got his blue belt. Around that time he had a school and was teaching BJJ and NHB.

As I understand it, Jeff and some students were at a judo tournament and one of his students (Carlos Rodriguez) ended up getting into a conversation with one of Jr/Sr's students who was coincidentally at the same tournament (Paulo Bezerra). Carlos speaks Portuguese and apparently was wearing a Brazil shirt...that's how the conversation started.

Paulo was then introduced to Jeff and mentioned that Jr had interest in leaving Florida and Jeff suggested he come to Chicago to open an academy with him.

The rest, as they say, is history. Phone Post

cumprido1 - Why does jeff call him carson?

When Brazilians say Carlson they usually don't pronounce it like Americans...i.e. carl-son.

They pronounce the r l differently...and it almost sounds like car-son.

When the Brazilians say it the "l" sound is there but just barely...

Jeff speaks a bit of Portuguese and has been to brazil...I assume he's just trying to say it like he heard other Brazilians say it.

Senior and junior never corrected anyone from saying Carl-son though... Phone Post
