Felipe Costa was in South Africa during 5 days, while there besides 2 seminars in different cities (Durban and Johannesburg) he also gave a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class to a group of kids.

Felipe Costa rolled with everyone, non-stop and it was fun!

TESTIMONIAL:

“So training with Felipe yesterday really was a privilege!

Especially impressive was the detail that he paid to making sure we all benefitted from the new techniques. He scrutinized every member of the class individually, pointing out their weak points and helping them tighten the screws.

Then it came to rolling with Felipe…hahaha
You could never believe that a little guy could so completely dominate a much bigger guy…guess that’s why he is the world champ! But really- what a genuine, humble guy! No matter how intent I was on beating him, he was always extremely safety-conscious and turned down the chance to break my arm at least 5 times!

What a champion fighter and all-round good guy!

Thanks Felipe”

“WOW

Saturday was an awesome day! Rolling with Felipe has been one of the greatest privileges of my life so far. A sincere and humble master of the sport, he showed us his techniques with impeccable detail and modesty.

A great big thanks to felipe for not submitting me in our final ten seconds together

Hope the rest of your trip went well… Wishing you safely home on your journey today.

Can’t wait to train with you again!!!”

“As promised the training session with Felipe did not disappoint and in fact was even more than expected. Again, to train with someone like Felipe is a life changing experience. He is just SO humble and was always willing to listen to our questions, and quick to demonstrate the technique on you to ensure that you understand the subtle differences.

At the end of class, to see the little master roll with 10 guys – one after the other – was great! Some guys were at least twice his size, and then when Morne called 10s left, it was like he switched gears and our guys had to really go on the defense to survive. Some were not that lucky!

Morne, thanks for giving us this great opportunity and thank you for all your effort and sacrifice! We really appreciate it!

Felipe, we hope to see you again soon! Keep well!

Cheers!
Ruan”

“We really enjoyed training with Felipe yesterday. He is a great coach and person with equal great skill. We worked a lot on defending and counters, and took home some great tips to make setting up your submissions more safe, secure and with a lot less effort and strength.

This truly was a world class seminar, and no one was disappointed!

Thanks to Coach Morné for arranging this awesome opportunity yet again to train with one of the best in the world!

Best regards

Johan”

“Well this was the second seminar that I have been fortunate enough to attend that was hosted by our Coach and conducted by Felipe

Felipe has to be one of the most unassuming and Humble Warriors that I have ever had the privilege to meet and train under His proficiency on the ground is nothing short of mind blowing!
He rolled with some of the biggest guys on the day and never look phased, out of breath or out of control A true Master in his field and a true example of what one can achieve if you sincerely, honestly and truthfully apply your mind to being the best that you can be!

I was very fortunate to roll with Felipe and can also attest to the fact that when he has had enough playing around he does not need much time to finish you off!

A true inspiration to all the small guys out there

Thanks Felipe!!!

Coach Morne, thanks to both you and Aileen for your constant sacrifice (especially in these turbulent financial times!) and for always helping to keep us at the forefront of the ever-evolving world of BJJ I had an awesome time and know that everyone else in attendance did as well.”

“I can only second what Johan and Robert have already said!
Definitely a most enjoyable and insightful experience, and it has definitely encouraged me to spend more time on the mats!

Thanks to Coach Morné (and CombatCoaching as a whole), for arranging everything; and to Felipe for conducting an awesome few hours!

Regards,
Brynn”

Estimados profesores:
 
Es un gusto saludarlos nuevamente, todos esperamos que se encuentren bien y sigan trabajando arduamente en pos de la difusión del Jiu Jitsu en México.
 
Les escribo para mandarles la invitación a la Asamblea General Extraordinaria que se realizará el día Sábado 11 de Diciembre de 2010 en las instalaciones de la Federación Mexicana de Jiu Jitsu, A.C. a las 16:00hrs
 
El tiempo nos apremia para realizar esta asamblea, ya que el fin de la misma será la propuesta para la adecuación de estatus, ya que la CODEME realizará un cambio en unos días y tanto la Federación como todas sus Asociaciones (en este orden) tendrán que realizar estos cambios de manera obligatoria a la brevedad. Sin embargo, el punto mas importante de este cambio es por una buena noticia y por algo que nos ayudará a todos como Asciados y es que la CODEME ya nos ha dado el visto bueno para agregar oficialmente algunas variantes del Jiu Jitsu moderno como son el Jiu Jitsu brasieño, grappling, MMA, no gi, etc… Dichas variantes modernas ya quedarán contempladas dentro del estatuto y cada Asociación será la que regirá y apoyará dichos deportes en sus entidades federativas.
 
Dicho lo anterior, es de urgente y suma importancia su presencia ese día. Además, algunas Asociaciones están presentando su programa operativo 2011 (como es la Asociación del Estado de Yucatán), así que será buen momento para que los estados faltantes, puedan entregar sus documentos.
 
Los asunto de interés general, se recibiran hasta un día antes del día de la asamblea por escrito, para poder incluirlos.
 
Por otro lado, aprovecho la presente para invitarlos al último campeonato en el año que realizará la FMJJ en conjunto con la AJUTSUYAM DF y que por primera vez, se realizará con 2 categorías: JIU JITSU FIGHTING y GRAPPLING. El campeonato será realizado el mismo sabado 11 de diciembre a partir de las 8:00hrs, terminando el pesaje a las 9:00hrs. Por lo que adjunto también el formato para las fichas de competencia para que puedan ir inscribiendo a sus alumnos por anticipado, ya que todos los profesores recibirán un devolución por cada inscripción que realicen por anticipado, dependiendo de que tan pronto den aviso.
 
Finalmente les aviso, que deben de ir preparando sus listados completos de alumnos, profesores y escuelas, para realizar el registro anual a de los mismos, y empezar con la credencialización oficial de la Federación Mexicana de Jiu Jitsu para cada alumno de cada estado. Dicho trámite lo platicaremos en la Asamblea pero requerimos ya tener un aproximado de alumnos y afinar los detalles para que cada credencial tenga el holograma del registro nacional.
 
Sin mas por el momento y como siempre, quedo a sus enteras ordenes, enviándoles un cordial saludos de parte de todos mis compañeros, de Sosai Hernández y del mio propio.
