Rare Lost Footage! Rolling in Poland’s Legendary BJJ Bunker (2011) Felip...
I just uncovered a treasure trove of footage from a seminar in Poland—videos of me rolling nonstop with students at the legendary Berserker’s Team @btgympolska!
I’ve been visiting this powerhouse team since 2005, forging a deep connection with them almost immediately after earning my black belt in 2002. Led by the iconic Bagi @piotr.baginski.18, Berserker’s isn’t just the most dominant team in Poland—winning countless national titles—it also has the highest student retention rate I’ve ever seen in BJJ. Looking back at old group photos, nearly everyone is still training today, now as black belts. That kind of loyalty and longevity is rare!
Many of the students I rolled with round after round in this footage are now black belts themselves. In this clip from September 21, 2011, you’ll see Sandra Paszkiewicz @sandrapaszkiewicz and others in action. These days, they could probably tap me out, but thankfully, they choose to be kind!
At the time, Berserker’s academy was inside a bunker—with barely any fresh air. The fog would get so thick you could hardly see a few meters ahead, and within minutes, every gi was drenched!
I’ll be posting all the footage—FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss it. Tag a teammate who was there with us!

Vídeo Raro! Avaliação Física Perdida com Itallo Vilardo e Felipe Costa em 2010, antes do Brasileiro da CBJJ
Hoje compartilho um vídeo especial de 2010, que pensei ter perdido, onde meu preparador físico, Itallo Vilardo, mede meu percentual de gordura antes de iniciarmos um treino. Itallo foi o primeiro profissional a me treinar, e ele carinhosamente me chama de "01". Atribuo a ele muitas das minhas conquistas no tatame, e nossa amizade permanece forte até hoje.
Itallo é faixa preta 5º grau em Jiu-Jitsu e formado em Educação Física. Reconhecido nacional e internacionalmente como referência em preparação física para esportes de combate, ele possui mais de 30 anos de experiência em artes marciais, incluindo judô, boxe e luta olímpica.
Por minha parte, tive a honra de conquistar títulos mundiais nas principais federações de Jiu-Jitsu, representando a categoria peso galo. Minha jornada no esporte foi marcada por perseverança e dedicação, alcançando o topo como faixa preta após desafios nas faixas coloridas.
Este vídeo é uma lembrança valiosa do início de uma parceria que moldou minha carreira e vida.

Legacy, defeat, ego, resiliense and retirement - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Felipe Costa
Here is what they had to say about it:
Felipe Costa will go down as one of the most notable rooster weights in Jiu Jitsu. He earned his spot by winning World championships in the 3 major Jiu Jitsu federations in the Black Belt division. But before he was a Black Belt Felipe never won a major tournament. In fact, even though Felipe was a regular competitor from the time he started Jiu Jitsu at the age of 12, he never even won a match until he was 16 years old.
Felipe was always able to accept his losses and over time move on. He accomplished this because he is a lover of the process of Jiu Jitsu, the training, the grind, and the losing as much as the winning. This isn't to say he wasn't bothered by his losses, but after a loss Felipe would gather himself and within a few days be back on the mats looking forward to his next tournament. He was always able to push forward, defeat his own negative thoughts, and after it was all said and done, become a legend in the sport of Jiu Jitsu.
Listen to episode #99 of The RŌL Radio to hear how Felipe became a champion as well as a variety of topics including; owning an academy vs being a traveling instructor, life after competition, his thoughts on legacy and ego, and more.
