Lost Footage! Rolling Nonstop in Poland’s Legendary BJJ Bunker (2011): Felipe Costa & Tomasz Mucha 

I found a folder filled with videos of me rolling with students during a seminar in Poland! 

I’ve been visiting the Berserker’s Team @btgympolska since 2005, and they are among a select group I’ve been connected with almost immediately after earning my black belt in 2002.

What amazes me about this team, led by Bagi @piotr.baginski.18 , isn’t just that they are the most respected group in Poland—having won the national title countless times, just to name one of their many achievements—but also their incredible student retention. Looking at old group pictures from those early years, nearly everyone is still training today, now as black belts. It’s the highest retention rate I’ve ever seen in the world of BJJ!

Many of the students I rolled with nonstop, round after round, are now black belts themselves. In this video, filmed in September 21, 2011, you’ll see Tomasz "Mucha" Grieger @muchajitsu and others in action. I honestly love that those guys can kick my butt nowadays, but respecfully choose not to do.

 

Back then, Berserker’s academy was inside a bunker, with little fresh air to breathe—the fog would get so thick you could barely see a few meters ahead, and the gis would be soaked within minutes!

I’ll be posting all the videos, FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE since and they’re all fun to watch. Enjoy, and tag someone who was there with us!

WHO IS FELIPE COSTA?

Felipe Costa, a multiple-time World Championship medalist in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), has been a significant figure in the Polish BJJ community since 2005. Serving as a mentor and instructor for the Berserker's Team, led by Piotr "Bagi" Bagiński, Costa has played a pivotal role in the team's development and success. His regular seminars and training sessions have not only elevated the technical skills of the practitioners but also fostered a deep sense of camaraderie and dedication within the team. Under his guidance, many members of the Berserker's Team have achieved black belt status, contributing to the growth and recognition of BJJ in Poland.
