- www.getBJJsponsorship.com - Upgrade your passion from a pastime to a profession. || What happens if you're just no good at the thing you love? Felipe Costa loved jiu-jitsu, but his terrible results in competition would leave him demoralised and depressed. Instead of walking away he refused to quit, went back to the drawing board and became a world champion.
In this video, Felipe -- a member of the Brasa team and a roosterweight competitor (58kg) -- talks about the obstacles he had to overcome and the methods he used to rise to the top. He describes the sports psychology tricks he applied to win tournaments, and explains how he approaches his training as a smaller jiu-jitsu player. We also see some rolling footage from his 'light guys only' training sessions, get-togethers reserved for jiu-jitsu players under 73kg.

Highlights of the interview include:
00.02: "There is not one fight where it doesn't cross my mind that I already lost"
01.08: "Before my black belt I never won a gold medal in any major tournament"
01.48: "I started at 12, until I was 16 I never won a fight"
02.12: "It was a love-hate relationship with competition"
02.49: "My second year as a black belt I entered the world championship and won"
-
06.06: "The person who is small and doesn't give up... is going to become maybe the most technical player in the academy"
07.08: " I don't see many people my size on the street, so if somebody picks a fight with me I have to be ready against a bigger guy"
07.26: "If I'm not preparing to fight bigger guys... why should I train on a daily basis with bigger guys?"
07.40: "The safest thing is to fight people my size"
08.23: "I would fight with a guy with long legs, heavy. Then I would get in a tournament with a guy with short legs, faster and moves much better"
-
11.08: "For me it was about putting small goals to improve little by little"
11.18: "I was pretty technical in the academy. In the tournament, I sucked"
11.41: "Nowadays I would look to a professional for help"
11.59: "I would concentrate and think as if I was in the academy"
12.30: "If I was starting now and had the chance to look for a professional... I would not hesitate"
12.45: "These struggles... it's something that happens even today"
13.00: "I'm more technical today than I was yesterday... so how can my performance be worse?"
13.24: "Your mind is trying to make you do whatever is easier"
13.47: "You have to say 'I'm not giving up now'"
14.23: "When you don't put so much pressure on yourself, the results will come"

when this came out i was a white belt...I'm a brown now, this video was a major inspiration for me to gut through the hard times of being the smallest guy at my gym.
Any tips? Specific concepts or techniques that a smaller player should focus on?
im 5'6 155 lbs and i was born without my left arm i messaged with this guy on guard playing and boy he helped me a lot. now on my gym and on tournaments i give everyone a hard time and they tell me your strength and conditioning is good and im like no i just train bjj wjthout drinking supplements and no one believes me, thanks felipe costa for your wise words on being a small guy.
As a small guy myself, hearing Felipe's worries and concerns reflect my own and I feel like this has answered a lot of questions. Thank you BJJH
Oss! You're welcome Kiron Kabir
-We're talkin' 127lbs. here folks...I love this guy's attitude! Never give up.
Felipe is a very calm, wise guy. as a small guy i cant find much people in my size. in our gym the most guys are 20 some 30 kilos heavier than me. two guys are 45 kilos heavier. it is a lot of stress for the body, but like he says, sometimes you have to be prepared. and it's a good strength training. but i get hurt when i dont take care.
I didn't knew this guy before but he got some knowledge! As a 5,4ft height white belt I already understand what he's talking about. Nunca desista!
I'm 67kg and the smallest guy in my gym, it sucks so much, but every sweep every guard pass every submission feels that much sweeter knowing it was technique and skill not strength.
I'm 5'4" and 98 pounds, I'm the only female rooster weight in my academy. I don't have a choice but to train with people bigger than me.
+Margaret Muncy When you compete (if you ever do) you will feel your opponents weaker. Its always good to train with bigger people.
me too. I am 5ft4.1 and on my first day off jiu jitsu, I looked up at them all, I was thinking oh shit, all they was all about 6ft. 😯
Margaret Muncy I'm 5'5" 150 lbs but the guys in my gym outweigh we by atleast 20 to 50 lbs but when I go against someone my weight it doesn't quite feel fair. Our professor says to be a lion you have to train with the lions.
Good movie. I study jiu-jitsu and Brazilian luta livre and i teacher of the luta livre in social project. This movie is ispiration to mine. Congratulations!
@@tonychikun " to become a lion, you have train with the lions". Ill mark these words. Thank you.
bjj hacks always have the best music.
Anyone know the name?
There's nothing better than seeing someone with so much wear on their gi.
As a small bjj player myself, this advice/information is gold! Love it!
i watched this when it first came out and before I really started to compete. at the time i thought this story was interesting and inspiring - and of course it is. but now that i have competed regularly now for years, and adopting alot of the mindset strategies he was talking about; felipe is 100% spot on with this. all of these mind strategies has helped me become more successful in competing and even just in the training room.
"when you don't put so much pressure on you, the results are gonna come. whether its the gold medal, or not. but you're gonna be happier as a person."
the paradoxical thing about this is, at least for me, when you focus on being happy, you will see better results.
Your absolutely right, it is easier to just sit down in the coach than try to do something that may be hard, but in the long run, you'll be so happy to look backwards in your life and realize that all your effort make you someone that can resist frustration, tireness and that can always find a way to overcome anything. Thanks for the vid! :D Respect!
feilpe is an inspiration to me,he gives me hope that one day i could achieve the same.I have practiced bjj for a year and a half but ifeel that i can't get any bettr,i get my but kicked evrytime i roll,it's frustrating being a little guy trying to learn this art. i get frustrated and have secon thoughts about training but i'm not a quitter and i keep showing up for class and give it my all.
Such a Dope Piece!!
"The person who is small and doesn't give up....in the long run is going to become..maybe the most technical person in the academy"
Really pleased you liked it, please help share it with others so they don't get too down either!
I'm 1,70 m (5'6) and 70 kg...When I started doing I was used to training with people havier than me (100-105 kg) and I can tell u guys it's hard but at the same time u can improve ur technique and skills, adapting ur style to roll against havier guys than u! Awesome video! Thanks Felipe Costa!
Amen to Felipe! His documentary dvd was one of the first BJJ dvd I watched and got inspired with. Amazing how 6 years have passed and I still get emotional watching him.
Inspirational! It sucks to get crushed at a competition, but we usually learn more about our jiu jitsu and ourselves when we do. Keep coming back is my philosophy. I love what you are doing with the BJJ mini docs.
Small, neurotic jiu jitsu. I LOVE IT!!! I can relate
How could anyone hit the thumbs down on this? This was straight motivation.
this video is a great reminder that in life in order to become really good or even great at something you have to make mistakes first, because making mistakes is apart of the learning process in life. So when you fail at something don't give up learn from it and become stronger and wiser from that failure.
Thank u man I was having a shitty day thinking I should quit jiu jitsu but u made my day thank you
This guy is so legit. Talk about tested by fire man, love this guy!
This was an excellent video. Great work BJJHacks!
I love his honesty. I'm inspired.
The best inspiration video ‼️thank you 🙏🏻
Good Shit Y'all always play the best soundtracks sound like some MFDOOM Shit Oss "This Guy is a visitor in my academy, this is my house" Well Put Bro
wow what an excellent guy this guy is wish i could train at his academy.
He is awsome man onestly great guy i am lucky to be part of his team and meet him and talk to him but its all about keep going
This was a great film thank you James Brighton UK
his story is great
thats the spirit right here! never quit!
pleased to hear it :)
Very nice. Good spirit. Good heart. That's what counts.
Felipe es un monstro! Ese hombre es como una ardilla con rabia!
One of the legend/hero in the roosterweight.
btw, if i am not mistaken i remember Cobrinha has never wins any major tournament before he got his black belt as well.
Great video being a smaller guy on the I struggle at times but seeing this video makes me want to keep going
Felipe is the man!
When your on the mat you have to fight till the last second even if you lose... It goes beyond competing Always keep up the Samurai Spirit alive. I compete in judo at -60kg (132lbs) but i walk around at 141lbs but it sucks to be the lightest in the gym but if you work with people that know what they are doing and you take care of each other injure is still a reality but its harder to get hurt but i understand this guy sucks to get hurt when you are getting ready for a competition been there with a fractured elbow from a bad seoi nage.
I like training with as heavy or as little as possible. Good training especially if the heavys go as heavy on you as possible or when the little guys, if u have man strength as a little person u go technical on them. Also come tournament time, the pressure is different. They have more adrenaline and more power regardless of weight class.
I'm there a lot and still have a very long way to go but I'm really seeing how timing and feeling what the other person are doing are as important of not more than the techniques you are using. --"Invisible Jiu Jitsu"--
Here is where i disagree with Felipe, i think that training with bigger and stronger opponent (not someone twice as big but just "bigger") sharpens your technique, builds up your strength and stamina, further more i believe it empowers you mentally. Going toe to toe with someone on the same level but bigger and winning or making them sweat builds up confidence in your skill. Maybe in strictly sport aspect Felipe is right, if you can avoid injury do so. My approach to any art is how street effective it is and if i'll have to face bigger opponent i would rather have that i've done this hundred times mind set. Train, roll, grow, peace.
excellent video Hywel. keep up the good work.
"the person who is small and don't give up, in the long run is going to become maybe the most technical person in the Academy"
Very encouraging! , needed to see this video , I can relate.
What Felipe says from 13:17 is a VERY important thing to remember, as it is a cognitive fact from a neurological point of view. The brain always wants the easy way out when it is in agony. FIGHT THAT SHIT!
Great vid guys!! Keep em coming please!
felipe is awesome one of my favourites
this inspired me alot thank you!!!
Great interview. I learn a lot from this.
Damn i love these videos!
esse é o cara muito top
Following from my previous comment, I'm 5 foot 5, 18 years and 110pounds. Yea, go figure why I started martial arts haha.
Very inspirational, I am 5'4 and 42 years old. I just started doing bjj and I must admit I thought I was too old and small when I started 3 weeks ago, I am getting used to it. I just hope I can hang with these younger kids. Any advice...?
How’s it been going?
@@DunceCapSyndromeI am now a pancake from years and years being smashed.
this guy is awesome
boas ideias!!!! excelente!!!!
Awesome stuff. Subscribed.
Although you're mistaken, and Cobrinha was a brown belt champion, it's clear from watching Cobrinha's footage as a brown belt that he's not quite the same Cobrinha that we know at black belt. I'm fairly sure he's said himself that something 'clicked' for him at black belt and that's where he found success.
I'm the smallest guy in my academy. 5'2" and 129 lbs. Don't have a choice but to roll with everybody that's bigger.
5’2 140 here
"im just gonna go home and have lemon pie" haha i love this guy
I would be very happy if you put subtitles in Spanish for fighters who do not understand English.
It’s funny how in a martial art about defeating strength and size, so often in the gym it’s a line up of guys from smaller to bigger, with the bigger guys dominating, and everyone talking on the Internet about how to lift weights and get bigger for bjj.
When it’s two people that are trained with similar skills then size matters more. But guaranteed Felipe would destroy most people that are untrained no matter how big.
Cobrinha was champion in brown belt and other belts before, such as brazilian nationals (cbjj.com.br/resultados/2005brasileiro.htm) unlike Felipe Costa who never got a gold medal in a IBJJF tournament before reaching black belt...
Very wise
Felipe rockin the #kauaikimonos at 3:45
GOOD VIDEO MAN 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
BJJHacks, what's the name of the song that starts from 8:55? :-)
Did you ever find out the name of the song?
I'm thinking of joining juijitsu. I've taken MuayThai for a whole year and I feel like I have enough stand up skills but the problem is that I'm usually smaller than everyone on the streets. I need my ground game no matter what. I seriously hope I do well enough, I gotta train hard though because I'm light too.
NewCanadianTurtle Enough skills in 1 year ?
I'm 5'4, 120 pounds, 4 strip white belt with 2 solid years of experience. I dominate my weight class and i do fairly well against blue belts my size. i do well at 130 pounds, but i begin to have a problem at 140 pounds. Im already technical and I've hit a wall against the more experienced guys. What's next?
Muito bom!!
Koeee Felipinho...!!!!
My favorite is after rolling with a white belt twice my size and tapping him out a few times, ending the round mounting him, he proceeds to give me advice, tells me what to do, and pats my back and calls me buddy. Lol wtf…
Watching this after I got squashed in side control.... repeatedly.
I'm pretty small, 5ft5 160 lbs, and I'd have to say, bjj is extremely frustrating for me. I can take a beating from muay Thai all day but bjj is way complex for me I feel like.
Jame Cehn I'm a bjj black belt 5'5" 165 lbs, I'm walking a little heavy for me normally I'm 157 lbs.
I struggled being one of the smallest guys in the gym. But now I'm glad I'm my size. Being small you have to do the technique correct or it doesn't work, so it makes your technique better.
Jame Cehn ask me anything I want to help little guys stay in the game.
I would love to live, and have the money to join a upper grade ju jitsu class :(
awsome
PREACH
Mmm....Lemon Pie...
