#202 Felipe Costa of Brasa Jiu-Jitsu

Felipe Costa plays guard against Joao Carlos Kurao at the 2008 IBJJF World Championship, where he came in third place.

Felipe Costa is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a well known representative of Brasa Jiu-Jitsu’s competition team. A perennial competitor, Costa has medalled at the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation’s World Championship several times and now travels the planet offering seminars when he is not preparing for competition or running his BJJ training camp in Brazil. Costa regularly documents his activity over on youtube, where among other things, you can check out him painting Brasa teammate Demian Maia’s nails.

Today FightWorks Podcast contributor Christian Simamora interviews Costa, who is also behind a commendable effort to teach BJJ to the visually impaired in Rio de Janeiro. Costa discusses how Brasa was born from Alliance Jiu-Jitsu, where the team stands now, and much more. We will also answer several emails from you, the Mighty 600,000.
