Carlos Henrique "Caique" Elias is a 7th degree red-and-black belt master of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). After starting his martial arts training in judo at age 15, he began training in 1975 with the Gracie family at the original Gracie Humaitá academy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 1982, Master Caique became one of only eight non-Gracies ever to receive his black belt directly from Hélio Gracie.

Master Caique taught at the Gracie Humaitá academy for many years while competing in tournaments. His most recent tournament victory was in the Brazilian nationals in 1995. In 1996, Master Caique moved with his family to the United States to teach at the new Gracie Academy in Torrance, California, which was expanding rapidly thanks to the popularity of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

In 2001, Master Caique formed his own school, the Caique Jiu-Jitsu Academy. The school is now based in Lomita, California. He still actively teaches classes at his academy alongside his sons, black belt Pedro Elias and Thomaz Elias. When not teaching at the academy, Master Caique travels around the country holding seminars in the Caique Jiu-Jitsu network of schools and hosting BJJ tournaments.

Elias is featured in the book Grappling Masters. In March 2009, he was awarded a 7th degree red-and-black belt by Rickson Gracie.
