Win a 32 GB iPod Touch
As you might already know, I have two main websites: Grapplearts.com and BeginningBJJ.com.
I want to help spread the word about BeginningBJJ.com because that's where I offer a free eCourse tailored for the new BJJ student. Every single day I hear from people telling me how much that information has helped them (including, ironically, many higher BJJ belts and even some teachers).
One of my big plans to spread the word about BJJ in general, and about that site in particular, was to put up a lot more Youtube videos. I've done a bit on this front, but unfortunately I'm too busy to do as much as I want...
But now I think I've figured out a way to get more videos up online. There's tons of people these days with video cameras, or web cams, and almost everyone has a friend with a video camera...
So I'll bribe YOU to do it! A win-win-win proposition!
You'll win because we'll have a big draw for prizes. I'll win because it'll help promote my BeginningBJJ site. And BJJ newbies will win because there'll be some helpful new content out there.
Basically I want you to shoot a short video about a single topic that could help a BJJ beginner, and I want it posted on Youtube before May 15th, 2009 (with one catch - see below).
After May 15th, when all the videos are up, I'll give away at least 11 prizes.
The big prize is a brand new, never-been-used 32 GB iPod Touch complete with the Grapplearts Submissions app. That's more than a $400 value. AND I'll also send you every Grappling, BJJ or MMA app I produce in the future.
In addition I'm also giving away at least 10 Grapplearts DVDs (and if only 5 people submit videos then that means that everyone will get 2 DVDs).
Right now I KNOW that there are some of you who are saying "what could I put on video? I've just been doing BJJ for 2 months..." Well in those two months I'm sure that you've learned something that you didn't know before. And I'm equally sure that it would be a revelation to someone else.
Your video can be as bare-bones or as fancy as you like. Crazy transitions, slow motion and text are cool, but won't influence the judging (since it's a draw).
Entries by beginners AND and advanced students AND grappling instructors are all welcome.
I want you to show something that really helped you when you started OR something that makes your students progress faster.
You can show a technique OR a detail OR a concept OR a mistake to avoid.
What you show can be something that you figured out for yourself OR something that someone else showed you (feel free to give credit where credit is due).
4 SIMPLE RULES FOR WINNING AN IPOD...
Thank you and good luck to all the participants. Have fun!
