This new broadcast, hosted by Ella Propheta, will feature interviews with fascinating people in the Jiu-Jitsu community.

In this episode, Ella has the opportunity to sit down with 5th degree black belt Professor Fabio Costa to talk about his Jiu-Jitsu story and how he’s seen it impact his own life and others. Professor Costa has trained Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 27 years and was promoted to black belt by one of the biggest names in BJJ, Master Carlos Gracie Jr. Professor Costa visits Contact Sports Club in Mansfield annually to teach a seminar and be present for their promotion ceremony.

Ella lives in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania and has been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over three years at Contact Sports Club. She is entering her Sophomore year at Liberty University studying Production & Design for Theater Arts. Her fascination with hand-to-hand combat scenes in movies is what initially inspired her to learn how to fight.

“God has used Jiu-Jitsu to teach me humility, confidence, commitment, problem-solving, and patience,” said Ella. “God is using Jiu-Jitsu as a doorway to introduce me to amazing people and friends both in my community and at college.”
