Juliano Wakahisa

Juliano was born in São Paulo, Brazil, with a multicultural background thanks to his Japanese father and Brazilian mother. His passion for martial arts sparked at 13, while living in Italy. From Judo and Jiu-Tai-Jitsu to Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing, and Boxing, he explored it all before finding his true calling in Muay Thai/Kickboxing. He competed professionally until a shin injury at 27 led him into early retirement.

Following this, he moved to Japan, where he worked as an actor, model, and stuntman, while also sharing his skills as a professional kickboxing coach.

In 2024, Juliano relocated to New Jersey, ready to bring his unique mix of talents and experiences to the U.S.
