Mafu Kobus BJJ Black Belt Assistant Instructor	I began training with Professor Wander Braga in 2001. As a white belt I was barely aware of all of the things that would be necessary for me to learn along the path to being a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt.Fortunately I had Wander there to help guide me.The art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is very rich.Wander’s methods of instruction make it so that the art is accessible to people from all walks of life without diluting the techniques and traditions that make Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so practical and beneficial. The confidence I now have to approach external and internal challenges comes from training with and teaching under an elite martial artist like Wander Braga. His influence in our art is widespread and ever-growing.His abilities in the sports of BJJ and MMA seem limitless.I would recommend that anybody who wants to experience what the true art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is about come to see Wander and train under a true BJJ legend.
Ronald L Weber BJJ Purple Belt	My name is Ron Weber, I am 52 years old. My profession is state construction inspector and I have been a student of Wander Braga’s for approximately 4-1/2 years in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. During this time I have gotten to know professor Braga on a personal level as well. Professionally, his integrity is unparalleled; he has dedicated his life to the training and education of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. His academy is known for its excellent instruction by Professor Braga and his staff. I have trained at other academies before, but never received the kind of personal attention to detail as with Professor Braga. He has brought in some of the most talented Jiu Jitsu and mixed martial artists on the scene today for seminars and to show that what we learn from professor Braga is real and current. On a personal level, Wander is a wonderful person and a dedicated family man. He is greatly respected by a large circle of friends from all over the world, and we are all considered part of Wander’s family. In closing, my experience with Wander Braga has been completely positive and I consider him a close personal friend and my master in Jiu Jitsu for life.
