Mini bio
How it started.
Wesley’s publisher biography dates the start of his martial arts training to 1993. In his own account, joining São Paulo’s prison police prompted his interest in Krav Maga. After qualifying as an instructor and teaching classes, he combined it with his earlier martial arts experience to create Krav Maga Caveira in 2008.
