Leonardo Peçanha is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Master Wendell Alexander Cavalcante Lago (Dell) and the founder of the Kronos BJJ team. Widely regarded as one of the top athletes of the Nova União fight camp during the early 2000s in grappling, Peçanha would later transition to mixed martial arts (MMA), while also finding equal success as a jiu-jitsu instructor, a role he settled into while living in the United States.
