Owner of Checkmat Exeter Fabricio Machado has a long-standing history with Jiu Jitsu training that dates back to 2005 in Brazil. When he was only 15 years old he trained under Grand Master Julio Secco, one of the fathers of Jiu Jitsu. Fabricio trained under many notable martial artists going forward such as Marcelo Garcia, Mario Reis and the Alliance team in New York City in 2015.
Martial arts helped him transition to a more mature way of life beyond his own individuality.
