Professor Wander Braga is a 6th degree black belt under Jorge Pereira, being one of the most well known competitors in the BJJ and no-holds-barred (NHB) circuit during the mid 1990’s and early 2000’s decades. Wander Braga is also revered for his coaching success, having co-founded the famous Big Brother team and formed high calibre grappling competitors such as Gabriel “Napão” Gonzaga. He also lived, taught and had gyms for many years in the Los Angeles area until he ran in to some immigration issues and had to leave everything behind in the US and stay in Brazil for over 10 years with his family. It was great to catch up with this Legend in person.
