Dear Prospective Student,
My name is Pablo Popovitch, and if you're searching for a professional training center to Learn Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) then this will be the most important message you've ever read in your life.
Here’s why: For the past 16 years, I have been producing a crop of students who have gone on to win many Professional and Amateur MMA Fights:
But that’s not all. Here are the THREE major reasons why you’ll want to grab a spot in our program at Team Popovitch:- We offer World Class instruction in Grappling and Striking. MMA can be divided in two categories: Striking (Kickboxing/Muay Thai & Grappling (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Wrestling). My instructors are hand picked in their area of expertise and are the best in what they do.
- You join a program custom designed for your level of experience and age. We have developed a systematic beginners program that is the secret of our success. You’ll be shocked to know the number of schools that have NO beginners program. They will thrown you to the lions and expect you to climb out of the cage. Also we separate our classes by age groups; children will have their own separated program.
- You will get fit. Lose unwanted fat and get in the best shape of your life. I’ve seen students lose over 40 lb. in 2 months of MMA training and you don’t have to be a part of a gym to achieve that. It’s all training Mixed Martial Arts.

"Lost 10 lbs And My Energy Level Increased Significantly!" |
|
 |
Sean McCoy "Hi, my name is Sean McCoy, and I have been attending classes at The BJJC since September, 2005. Although I am a new student in comparison to many others at the BJJC, I have been excessively impressed with the professionalism and patience of the instructors. The instructors give you personal attention, and seem genuinely interested in helping you meet your own individual goals. I learn a lot of new things in every class, and the content of each class is fresh, interesting, educational and fun. In addition, the students attending the BJJC come from various walks of life, and are of every age, color and ethnicity." I am 31 years old and my personal goal is to lose weight, raise my confidence level, and increase my overall level of fitness. In the last month I have already lost over 10 pounds, and my energy level has significantly increased. I look forward to the classes I attend each week, because I have a feeling that the instructors genuinely care that I am participating. If your personal goals are similar to mine, you need to call today to make an appointment for a personal interview with an Instructor." |

"I Would Recommend BJJC To Anyone!" |

Matt Modist Before I started at the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center I was riding my bike 20 miles 3 to 5 times a week but my cardio has never been as good as it is now. I have only been training for 2 months and I can work out with no muscle fatigue and I have much better stamina. I couldn't imagine a class more fun or effective. I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a way to get in better shape and learn the most effective Martial Art in the World. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the Best. |

"By far the best Grappler I ever trained with" |
|
 |
Marcus Oliveira Pablo Popovitch is by far the best Grappler I ever trained with. He is a great Wrestler and a world class Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter. I had a chance to train with some of his students and I can say they all impressed me, I’m sure he is developing them to be as great as he is. Long history short he is a great grappler that can take your game to the next level. |

"This is the pinnacle of my martial arts career." |
|
 |
Master Chris Chard I began seriously studying the martial arts when I was in college in the 1980”s. I started in Tae Kwon Do and eventually earned a black belt. When I saw tapes of the first UFC, I realized that I had more to learn. I spent the next couple of years kickboxing and stick fighting until a career move landed me in Ft. Lauderdale in March, 1997. I remember arriving on a Sunday and one of the first things I did, even before I unpacked my car, was look in the yellow pages for a BJJ school. As fate would have it, my apartment was 2 blocks south of Grandmaster Jorge and Master Pablo Popovitchs’ first school in Pembroke Pines. The very next day, I went to the academy and tried a class. After that first class I knew I was at home. I have been with Grandmaster Jorge and Master Pablo Popovitch ever since. I watched the academy evolve from a small group of students, to the creation of the Team Popovitch competition team in 1999, to the huge organization, with 2 affiliate schools in Cleveland, Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky, that it is today. Most impressive though, was witnessing the evolution of Master Pablo Popovitch from a 16 year old purple belt to the world class grappler and instructor that he is today. No one trains harder that Master Pablo Popovitch and his accomplishments on the mat speaks for themselves. But, best of all, he is one of the premier Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors in the business. Master Pablo Popovitch's dedication to his students is evident by the accomplishments and successes that they have had, both on and off the mat. To train with Master Pablo Popovitch is to be a part of something special. On August 16. 2006, Grandmaster Jorge and Master Pablo Popovitch awarded me my Black Belt. I am truly humbled to be their first American student to receive such recognition. This is the pinnacle of my martial arts career. I thank both of them for all the years of mentoring, instruction, and inclusion into their family. |

"Never Found A More Effective And Enjoyable BJJ Training Center!" |
|
 |
Michael Zanetti My name is Michael Zanetti. I have been training in various martial arts for a number of years. Never have I found the training as effective, satisfying and enjoyable as I do at the BJJ Center. My rationale is three-fold: #1 – Pablo Popovitch How is this reflected in the class? To begin, the class is far more informal than most martial arts classes. There is no need for false displays of respect; Pablo deserves respect and gets it. Moreover, Pablo actually trains with the class, often pulling students aside and training with them individually. There is no need for false bravado and preaching from afar; Pablo believes in himself and his system. The overall result: a prime learning environment with a top level instructor. #2 – Class structure BJJ itself is very fluid, with countless variations and intricate movements. An environment where techniques can be openly discussed, improved on and practiced creates an accelerated learning curve for all parties involved. #3 – The focus on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu The philosophy at the BJJ Center is different. As Pablo has expressed a number of times, his goal with the BJJ Center is to become the best BJJ school in the country. One focus, one goal: being the best at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. With things running the way they are, don’t be surprised to see the Popovitch team at #1! |

"I'm Fortunate To Have A World Class Jiu-Jitsu Trainer" |
|

Andre Zuniga "I have trained Karate for over 10 years, and I thought it was a very complete Martial Art until I found out about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I have been training for over 6 months now and I could say I fell in love with Martial Arts again. Not only I am lucky to have found about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sooner than later but I also am very fortunate to have a World Class Instructor and Fighter teaching me. It blows my mind that I can actually train with him everyday." |

"The Instructors Are Top Notched!" |
|
 |
Ed Paskin I have recently begun training at the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center. When i realized that I could actually learn from Master Pablo Popovitch himself, i jumped at the opportunity to join his school. Although I have trained in other areas of Martial Arts over the years, I have never learned anything nearly as effectivy as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. A little research on Google will tell you all that you need to know about Master Popovitch. Master Popovitch is quite simply one of the most respected and very best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitors in the world, and a fantastic intructor for people of all ages. His others instructors are top notch as well. I believe that a school can only be as good as it instructors, and thats why im truly honored to be part of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center. You can search the entire United States and only find a handful of school like the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center. Fort lauderdale is truly fortunate to have an instructor with the qualification and character of Master Popovitch. |

"Outstanding Atmosphere For Learning" |
|
 |
Dustin Denes Active mixed martial arts fighter with a professional fight record of 11 wins -1 loss - and 2 draws If I had to choose one word to describe Master Pablo Popovitch it would be excellence. I have known Master Pablo Popovitch for many years now and I admire his approach of always striving for absolute excellence. Whether he is teaching, training, or competing, Master Pablo Popovitch always works with the intention of doing his best. Master Pablo Popovitch is a very genuine human being who wants not only the best for himself, but the best for all those associated with him. Care for students, friends, and family is and always has been a priority of his. Furthermore, he creates an outstanding atmosphere for learning which can be attributed to his exceptional character and positive attitude. |

"One of The Most Humble Champions I've Ever Met" |
|
 |
Mike Brown Master Pablo Popovitch - "Without a doubt the toughest grappler I have ever trained with. He's an incredible athlete who has found a way to seemlessly blend great Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills with great Wrestling skills. He is dangerous on his feet, on top, and from his back. Pablo is not only an incredible fighter he is also a great person. One of the most humble champions I have ever met." |

"Most Complete Grappler I Ever Trained With!" |
|
 |
Rafael Dias Master Pablo Popovitch is the most complete grappler I ever trained with. His Brazilian jiu-jitsu is unreal and his wrestling skills are out of this world. He is an outstanding competitor, and I consider him to be one of the best at his weight division in the world. He is in my professional opinion one of the favorites to win the next A.D.C.C (World Submission Grappling Championship). |
|---|---|
 |
James Brasco "I have had the greatest time training under Master Pablo Popovitch at The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center. It has benefited my game as a competitive grappler 100 times over. I started wrestling at young age of 5 and I have been competing for over 21 years. Not only have I learned the ground game but have improved my takedowns due to the emphasis put on training stand up attacks and defense. Since I started with Master Popovitch I’ve won 4 NAGA Advanced Championship and 1 runner up. My grappling record is 13-1 over that time period. I know what great training is and I have trained with the best, I highly recommend training With Master Popovitch, he will take your grappling game to another level." |

Joao Moncaio "I have been training with Master Popovitch for 3 years and he is one of the best in the World, I have seen beat a lot of top guys and that motivates me a lot. Since I started training with him my game went through the roof, I am just a purple belt but many of the Black Belts that come to train with Master Popovitch are very impressed my skills. On my last tournament I was able to tap guys in my division under 2 minutes, and at no time I was ever in danger of losing any of my matches. He is not only a great fighter and instructor but he is also someone that always guides me in the right direction in life and training. He is the best in the world and I am blessed to train with him." |

Kevin Albertini "I have been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu with Master Popovitch for a little over 3 year. Having trained stand up Martial Arts for many years, I realized I knew nothing about Grappling so I began training under Master Popovitch. My goals were to train hard and become a champion. Not only I have achieve my goals but I feel like I surpassed hem under the instruction of Master Popovitch. I can now compete with many Black Belts even tough I’m still a Purple belt, what impressed me the most is that during my visit to Brazil a couple months ago I had a chance to train at different schools and I realized how much better Master Popovitch instruction was, I felt especial. There is no other instructor on the planet that I would rather train with, Master Popovitch is the Best!!! His techniques are priceless the Grappling Game, I consider it an honor and I find myself blessed to train with one of the Best in the World." |

Marcus Aurelio "I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 8 years and I can say that I never seen anyone as good as Master Popovitch. Even though I only been training under Master Popovitch for 6 months I have seen an improvement of my grappling game like I have ever seen before. Not only that but I also learned to train without the gi, in which I never trained before. I am so happy that I am training under him, people don’t realize how rare it is to find a world level instructor like he is." |

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

Scott Garrett "My kids and I have been training in BJJ under Master Popovitch for almost a year. In that year some amazing things have happened to us. For one, I have lost over 80 lbs. I went from having high blood pressure, sleep apnea, insomnia, and always feeling tired to being healthy and in the best shape I’ve been in literally two decades. My kids have both also had a significant improvement in their physical fitness level. All three of us enjoy training in BJJ and have a great time in each class. What I as a parent especially like about the training is that kids are allowed to train at their own pace. The emphasis is on having fun, and that keeps the kids interested. As the kids have progressed, it has given them more confidence, too. The instructors at the BJJ center are world class, and they go out of their way to make sure you are learning all you want to learn. I’ve also found that senior students are eager to help out and give you tips as well. I highly recommend training at the BJJ Center, you won’t regret it." |

Raphael Chavez "I have been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu for almost 8 years now, and I could say that I' ve never trained with anyone as good as Master Pablo Popovitch, he is the "ultimate grappler", his wrestling skills are unbelievable ,and his Brazilian jiu-jitsu is amazing. He is more than a black belt, he is a "Brazilian jiu-jitsu master" that's why he is the number one grappler in U.S and among the 3 best fighters in his weight class in the entire world, he is the one who can teach you high level and real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu" |

Tim Steenhoff There are many reasons to join the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center. If you are looking for an intense workout, it is one of the best full-body workouts around. I have tried other martial arts, and nothing compares to the intensity found in Jiu-Jitsu. Other martial arts practice moves that may never be used in a real situation. Everything we learn in class is immediately tried in a real-life sparring situation. Jiu-Jitsu is also an intense mental workout. Similar to a game of chess, every move has a counter-move. Two people of different size can spar, and it is the one who has the better technique who will be the winner, even if they are not the bigger or stronger of the two. I believe the best reason to join the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Center is for the opportunity to train with one of the best competitors in the world. Many instructors may teach a martial art simply because they have been involved with it for a long time. Not only has Master Popovitch studied Jiu-Jitsu for most of his life, but he has competed in and won numerous tournaments. Other places may offer instruction in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but they may not have an instructor with the skill and experience of Master Popovitch. His staff of instructors are also well-qualified. The instructors and a lot of the students are some of the best competitors around. Everybody there is very friendly, and always willing to help. |
