Professor Fabio's journey in martial arts began at the age of 7 when he embarked on his Judo training back in Brazil. Years later, his passion for Judo and Jiu Jitsu brought him to the United States, where he continued to hone his skills in both disciplines. Throughout his martial arts journey, Professor Fabio emerged as a formidable competitor, earning his Judo Black Belt in 2012 under the guidance of Sensei Leonard Carter at the Charleston Judo Club.
Professor Fabio has shared his knowledge in various martial arts schools across Charleston. In 2023, his dedication and proficiency in Jiu-Jitsu were recognized when he attained his Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under Professor Henrique Carepa at Gracie Barra Charleston. Building upon his passion for martial arts and teaching, Professor Fabio ventured into a new chapter in mid-2024 by opening Gracie Barra West Ashley, where he serves as the Head Professor and Program Director.
Beyond his martial arts achievements, Professor Fabio holds a Master's Degree in Computer Science. Despite spending much of his day immersed in screens and coding, Jiu Jitsu remains his preferred outlet for stress relief and social connection. He also harbors a deep appreciation for Japanese culture, encompassing its cuisine and anime, reflecting his multifaceted interests and influences.

Private Classes
Personalized Attention and Guidance
Private classes provide a unique opportunity for tailored learning experiences. Unlike traditional classroom settings, where the focus may be divided among multiple students, private classes offer one-on-one interaction with your professor. This personalized attention allows for a deep understanding of your specific goals, strengths, and weaknesses. With this insight, professors can provide targeted guidance and constructive feedback to help refine your storytelling techniques and reach your full potential.
Efficient Learning and Accelerated Progress
The intimate learning environment of private classes allows for a focused learning experience. Without the distractions often present in group settings, you can concentrate solely on acquiring new skills and refining your storytelling abilities. This focused approach accelerates your learning, enabling you to make rapid progress and achieve your goals more efficiently.
Constructive Feedback and Continuous Improvement
Feedback is an essential aspect of growth as a storyteller. In private classes, receiving regular and specific feedback from a knowledgeable instructor is invaluable. This feedback enables you to gain insights into areas that require improvement while also recognizing and building upon your strengths. With continuous feedback loops, you can refine your storytelling techniques, adapt to evolving platforms, and stay ahead in the online storytelling scene.
