The initiative of No-Gi champ Pablo Popovitch, a new promotion via Twitter will pay out in prizes for five Jiu-Jitsu practitioners. The prizes are four GRACIEMAG subscriptions and an exclusive Pablo Popovitch T-shirt.
To participate, readers need to be following the fighter on twitter.com/PabloPopovitch and twitter.com/graciemag, and send their response to the following question to Pablo’s Twitter account in under 140 characters: How did Jiu-Jitsu change your life for the better?
The two best answers will win a limited-edition T-shirt from the 2009 ADCC champion and a year’s subscription to the magazine. The other three selected will receive honorable mention and a six-month subscription to GRACIEMAG each.
“The idea behind the promotion is to divulge, in a different and creative way, how Jiu-Jitsu really can change a person’s life,” remarked Popovitch, our GMA in Florida.

BJJ Changed my life completely. I Overdosed on Heroin 3 years back and died technically. I got a second shot at life and have been clean since. Now I train 5 days a week. I could go into details, I’m sure I would get a shirt, I have a pretty intriguing history
Yeah, Jiu-Jitsu changed my life completely as well! I got Social Phobia. Before Jiu-Jitsu I couldn’t even speak to people. Now I even had one competition. At first I only wanted to make it to class but I succeeded more and more and really quick. A troop of doctors and pounds of pills couldn’t over years couldn’t help but Jiu-Jitsu did the trick in a just a few weeks. It teached just to beat my daemons by a quick submission!
