Alexandria Arnold

"We’ve had a wonderful experience so far at Wander Braga BJJ HHI. My daughter loves going to class everyday that she can. Instructors are very patient and it’s a welcoming group of kids and families."

Paul Klein

"I have been training BJJ for years and always wanted to keep up with training while on vacation. Hilton Head always had options for staying healthy; plenty of fitness centers, lots of biking, and endless places to go running. But nothing for grappling. Hilton Head finally has a BJJ school! Thank you Wander Braga for bringing this school to the island. The culture here is great. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and fun to train with. Whether you are new or advanced, you will get a good training session. I will definitely be packing my BJJ gear for my Hilton Head trips from now on!"

Kaitlyn Amis

"I have trained with Wander at multiple seminars and at a Wander Braga affiliate for multiple years. Wander runs a very clean school with excellent instruction, positivity, and care. As a teenage female athlete, it is often difficult to train in a sport that is so male dominant and I have always felt so welcome every time I train with him. It is clear that Wander loves Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and cares about his students."
