Team Link Utah - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Team Link Utah - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is led by Fabio "Jungle Boy" Serrao, a 5th Degree BJJ Black Belt under Master Vanderlan Almeida and Grand Master Osvaldo Alves, who also competes as a professional MMA fighter. Serrao brings decades of experience and a competitive mindset shaped by multiple championships, including a 2015 Sport Jiu Jitsu International Federation World title. His approach emphasizes steady progression through fundamentals while preparing students for the demands of both gi and no-gi competition. Alongside him, instructors like Jesus Nava and Thiago "Monstrinho" Alves, both black belts under Serrao, contribute to a coaching staff that blends technical depth with ongoing competitive relevance. Training at Team Link Utah covers a full spectrum of disciplines with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes structured around gi fundamentals, all-levels gi sessions, and no-gi cross-training combined with Muay Thai striking. This mix supports grapplers interested in the traditional grip-heavy aspects of gi jiu jitsu as well as the faster pace and transitions found in no-gi formats. The school also runs dedicated kids and teens BJJ classes to build age-appropriate skills in a separate, focused setting. Open mat sessions provide extra space for live rolling and drilling beyond scheduled classes, encouraging students to develop positional awareness and sparring endurance. Beyond jiu jitsu, Team Link Utah offers MMA and Muay Thai training to complement grappling with striking and takedown techniques, reflecting the integrated approach needed for modern mixed martial arts. Located in Layton, the facility welcomes drop-ins and serves practitioners from surrounding areas like Clearfield and Ogden. Its wheelchair-accessible space and diverse class offerings make it a practical choice for students who want to explore multiple martial arts under one roof while working with a coaching staff that has strong competitive credentials and a clear focus on skill development.
