Rickson Gracie’s Upa with Detail on Hip Connection!

In this video, I cover this technique, but also add another dimension by discussing the importance of connection to your opponent through engaging the hips.

In this channel, I review, discuss, and demonstrate the true essence of “Aiki and Jiu” as in Aikido and Jiu-Jitsu. What makes a technique actually work, can it be achieved with less effort, and is it viable in both worlds. My main goal is to bridge the gap between the Japanese grappling arts of Aikijujutsu/Aikido and modern Jiu-Jitsu to prove that neither are poor martial arts, and both can contribute to enhance the quality of each.
