In this video, Henry Akins explained and provided an amazing presentation on knowing when to connect, as well as disconnect from your opponent and why it is so important. To the untrained eye it’s impossible to see, but once broken down and then shown the thought of , “For my ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. It’s energy surrounds us and binds us.”, came to mind. More than “The Jiu-Jitsu Super Computer”, Henry may be jiu-jitsu’s version of Yoda. If you are ever in the Los Angeles area and ever have the chance to train with Henry we highly recommend it!
