"Pablo is definitely one of the most skilled grapplers in the worldtoday. Being twice an ADDC finalist and being several times NAGA andGrapplers Quest champ demonstrate this very clearly. Pablo’s skills onthe mat are only compared to his dedication and ability as aninstructor. I highly recommend training at his Brasa/BJJ Center.Having prepared myself for the last ADCC at his club along with myother Brasa teammates was crucial for my win."

Pablo Popovitch is one of the most impressive grapplers and trainingPartners that I had had the pleasure to train with.Training with Pablo is an important part of my preparation for the UFCfights. Pablo brings aspects of the fight game that are difficult toget anywhere else.

His explosiveness, grappling style and provensuccess on the training mat are invaluable to our trainingregimen.

I have trained Karate for over 10 years, and I tough it was a verycomplete Martial Art until I found out about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Ihave been training for over 6 months now and I could say I fell in lovewith Martial Arts again. Not only I am lucky to have found aboutBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu sooner than later but I also am very fortunate tohave a World Class Instructor and Fighter teaching me. It blows my mindthat I can actually train with him every day.

" Hi, my name is Sean McCoy, and I have been attending classes at TheBJJC since September, 2005. Although I am a new student in comparisonto many others at the BJJC, I have been excessively impressed with theprofessionalism and patience of the instructors. The instructors giveyou personal attention, and seem genuinely interested in helping youmeet your own individual goals. I learn a lot of new things in everyclass, and the content of each class is fresh, interesting, educationaland fun. In addition, the students attending the BJJC come from variouswalks of life, and are of every age, color and ethnicity." I am 31years old and my personal goal is to lose weight, raise my confidencelevel, and increase my overall level of fitness. In the last month Ihave already lost over 10 pounds, and my energy level has significantlyincreased. I look forward to the classes I attend each week, because Ihave a feeling that the instructors genuinely care that I amparticipating. If your personal goals are similar to mine, you need tocall today to make an appointment for a personal interview with anInstructor."

Hi everyone! My name is Randy Cupples and I am 56 years old and it isJune 14, 2006 and I have been a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center student fora little over six months. On January 31, 2005 I had triple by-passsurgery. As I recuperated from the open heart surgery I was desperatelylooking for ways to change my lifestyle. After the operation my pulserate was around 80 - 83 beats per minute and my blood pressurecontinually recorded in the high range.After my operation I was thinking about asking my doctor to put me onmedicine to lower my blood pressure but was worried this would not leadme to the quality of life that I wanted. I decided to find analternative to taking blood pressure medicine and any related drugs.I noticed the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center and subsequently discussed myhealth situation with Master Pablo Popovitch and Instructor JayMoncaio. With their concerns that I should not push myself to hard, Istarted classes in December 2005. Physical change is never easy but Iwas determined to improve my health. Pablo and Jay, as they will withany student, watched over me and monitored my progress to ensure that Idid not "over exercise" or "burn out" on the training as I was inreally poor physical shape.Because of the encouraging comments and helpful direction from MasterPopovitch and Jay Moncaio (and so many other students) I have stayedwith their training program and truly improved my health! My pulse rateis now between 60-63 beats per minute and my blood pressure has droppedinto the low to normal range for the first time in many years. I haveto say this is the best training I have ever experienced.The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center training methods have literally changedthe quality of my life!
