About Oswaldo Fadda
- Oswaldo Baptista Fadda (January 15, 1921 – April 1, 2005) was a practitioner of jiu-jitsu, reaching the rank of "nono grau", a ninth grade red belt.
- He is known for being one of the highest ranked non-Gracie black belts and also for teaching students from the poorer areas of Rio de Janeiro, where jiu-jitsu was regarded as an upper-class sport.
- Fadda's lineage, the most prominent second to the Carlos Gracie lineage, still survives through his links with today's teams such as Nova União, Grappling Fight Team, as well as Deo Jiu-Jitsu (Deoclecio Paulo) and Equipe Mestre Wilson Jiu-Jitsu (Wilson Pereira Mattos).
