Profesor Cícero Costha is one of the top featherweight competitors of his generation, a student under another well known coach, Mr. Marco Barbosa and coach for many big names in the Brazilian jiu-jitsu industry. PSLPB – Projeto Social Lutando Pelo Bem, is a social project founded by Professor Cicero that shelters low income young athletes and provides them high level competition training and opportunities to make a living out of the sport.
