I joined the Wander Braga Team just under a year ago and can say this is one of the best decisions that I've ever made. I'm 40 years old, was nervous at first and needed a new competitive outlet that I can also include my family in. My 5 year old actually prefers his classes here to any other sport at the moment. My day job is coaching others, and it's just incredible to have a community of people that I can learn from and an art that I've now fallen in love with. I did not expect the camaraderie that this academy provides and it's always the highlight of my week.

If you're looking to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the Cornelius area, look no further than Wander Braga Jiu Jitsu! On top of being one of the most skilled grapplers in the world, Braga BJJ is welcoming of all people and skill levels. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof Braga when he did a seminar at my gym here in California, Sampa BJJ. He is very knowledgeable and breaks down the moves in such a way, even day 1 people will fall in love with the sport instantly. If you've ever wanted to learn JiuJitsu, striking, or even self defense, Braga BJJ has you covered!

I was visiting my parents in NC and called around to a couple of gyms. Wander BJJ got back to me super quick about drop in information. Right when I walked in I was warmly welcomed by Iggy and a couple of other students. Great lesson, great safe and fun rolls. You could tell everyone there was taught exceptionally well by the way they rolled and wasn't trying to kill me. If you are looking to start or a place to just drop by while you are in town. This is the gym!! Thank you again for making this Utah girl feel welcomed.

I have had the privilege to train with and learn from Wander. He is amazing at breaking things down, and teaching it at whatever level you are at. I am most impressed by how patient and accommodating he is with my 3 young daughters. They are 7, 9 and 12 and have very different skill and understanding levels, and he effortlessly instructed them with enthusiasm. 110% recommend training with him and having your kids train with him.
