What is invisible Jiu-Jitsu?
Coined by Rickson Gracie, the son of Grandmaster Hélio Gracie, Invisible Jiu-Jitsu is a concept within Jiu-Jitsu, which underlies all of the techniques that we use every day.
Rickson views BJJ as his father saw it: a tool for empowerment that gives the physically weak individual a chance against the strong; a medium and a means to gain confidence and enrich ones’ life. Invisible Jiu-Jitsu is a method that always wins overpower & strength.
It is really more of a philosophy of Jiu-Jitsu than anything else. Once you start to apply the concepts and philosophies of Invisible Jiu-jitsu to your game, you won’t need to know a thousand techniques.
Let’s hear an interview with Master Rickson with Grappling Central where he talks about controlling your breathing, teaching Jiu-Jitsu to anyone, managing fear, and his thoughts on honor in modern society
