Roger Gracie recently said, at a seminar in Southern California, the most important advice he could give is to "relax." Thanks for adding valuable context to that statement by relating it to connection.

[@jerryoutlaw3396]

The most advanced basics ever. Thank you.

[@MackTrainingAcademy]

Connection = touching with no slack/space, angle, body tension and then using your big muscle groups like the legs to do the work. Disconnection = changing the angle, creating space even the smallest millimeter, removing tension in your own body (wet blanket)

[@sethblee7400]

I am a sports physical therapist and I spent a lot of time discussing what we call core integration or core engagement and what you are calling connection in this fits perfectly with what we know from research on the body and core stability. Thanks for the application!

Henry Atkins is a brilliant grappler. Something so simple that people often overlook, and yet he sees it.

[@RenatoMariscal]

6:56 "push me" and Bernardo pulls. Every Brazilian struggle on US 😂

[@barebonesacoustic3956]

Awesome! Great stuff thx Henry!

[@rollinOnCode]

This is great stuff! love it! this is so subtle but important - it will go over many folks heads though.

When I move, you move- just like that.

[@Lift_these]

These are Chinese internal arts concepts… Thanks👍🏾

[@rbg01]

I feel like the people i spar with are very good at blocking my connections 😂 and I’m the one lagging behind

[@kingchief4038]

They based Wong from Dr strange on Henry Akins and his Sorcerers Powers in Jujitsu

Ok. in engineering terms, this is basically energy displacement and leverage
