Details:	Fabio Novaes was born in 1974 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He started training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 1992 where he graduated as a black belt under Marcelo Saporito of the Carlson Gracie School in 2002. In addition to his training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Fabio also holds a black belt in Muay Thai (the Muay Thai graduation or rank system in Brazil is given with belts instead of the arm band, we also donâ€™t practice their traditional dance in class) and a green belt in Judo. Fabio is recognized by the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Confederation, (Confederacao Brasileira de Jiu-Jitsu - CBJJ), The Rio de Janeiro Jiu-Jitsu Federation (Federacao de Jiu-Jitsu do Rio de Janeiro â€“ F.J-J.RIO), The Olympic Jiu-Jitsu Federation of Rio de Janeiro (Federacao Olimpica de Jiu-Jitsu do Estado do Rio de Janeiro â€“ FJJORJ) and the Brazilian Confederation of Olympic Jiu-Jitsu (Conferacao Brasileira de Jiu-Jitsu Olimpico - CBJJO). In 2002 Fabio traveled to the United States to pursue his MBA in Architecture at an American university. In 2003 he was invited to begin teaching at High Performance Martial Arts academy located in Lakeland, Florida. Upon receiving his new position he began to see why they had been so successful. The instructors there had been selling belts and promotions to students without achieving the proper level of instruction. Fabio, not wanting to have his name associated with this type of establishment left this academy after just a few months and began to open his own academy in 2003. He began teaching at a local recreation center and within a few months had developed a large student base because of his attention to detail and personable approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He continued training at Kelly Recreation Center until late 2007 when he opened his own 2000 square foot training facility in Lakeland. With over 1600 square feet of training area he had finally achieved his goal without compromising his principles. Since then Fabio has dedicated himself to the training of others. He has taken part in the training of the US Armyâ€™s 101st Airborne, 3rd Battalion, 187th Regiment located at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. He has participated in the training of Special Operations Commandâ€™s, commanding generalâ€™s private security detail at MacDill Air Force Base, in Tampa, Florida. He has held numerous seminars around the world including Italy, Puerto Rico, California and Hawaii. Fabioâ€™s dedication to this sport has yielded some of the highest caliber Jiu-Jitsu practitioners in the field. Fabioâ€™s students recently took First Place in the Gi competition and third place in the no-Gi competition in North American Grappling Association (NAGA) tournament held in south Florida. Receiving 16 gold medals with only 14 competitors. In addition to this, several of Fabioâ€™s students have also gone on to teach members of the special operations community through private security firms and military contracts. Some of these contracts include members of Trojan Security, Blackwater USA, Olive Security, US Marine Corps and US Army SOC to name a few.
