There’s a handful of BJJ concepts that will go a long way in almost every single position and technique you do…
And the power of connection is one of them.
BJJ in its essence is based on the principles of balance, physics and leverage.
To be successful in jiu jitsu, you have to be able to stay connected to your opponent so that you can read and interpret their movements so that you can anticipate their next moves.
This connection is the key to jiu jitsu and allows you to develop a deep understanding of body movement.
