Thanks Henry. I was wondering, should I have one foot slightly behind the lead foot? I’ve seen Rickson teach on invisible power.

This might be the most important lesson in jiu jitsu. Great stuff. Sad that this is so rarely addressed. Thank you.

Talking with hands and creating a protective barrier is non aggressive and a great defensive position to fend off attack

I remember you teaching it at the first seminar I went to of yours. I’ve used it many times in “uncertain” interactions when dealing with drunk/drugged patients when I was working in the ER.
