Fabio Almeida came to the L.I. Ninjutsu Centers via our Lindenhurst, N.Y Location and was a direct student under me through my student Phillip Schoppmann. Sensei Phil told me about Fabio first explaining to me that he was also a very educated instructor in the art of Capoeira which stems from Brazil.
Fabio being a Brazilian, started training in this martial art when he was just a baby. Fabio had gone on to really develop a great understanding and mastership level in this art and had gone on to become an instructor. Having lived in the U.S. for a few years, he entered in our schools and started training in our system from scratch. Having such a high level of martial arts training he quickly adapted to our school and achieved his Black Belt in Record time under 5 years.
Since then Fabio has gone on to be an instructor in all of our locations and continues to teach within our schools. I am very proud of Fabio and truly believe he is only reaching the tip of the iceberg in regards to his potential in the martial arts. Only the future will know where his path will lead. I am proud of him and honored to have him in my martial arts family.
