What Will You Learn?
“Relax” is one of the most misunderstood words in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
For most practitioners, relaxing means doing less, conserving energy, or trying not to gas out. But true relaxation in Jiu-Jitsu has nothing to do with being passive — and everything to do with control.
In Learning How to Relax in Jiu-Jitsu, legendary instructor Henry Akins reveals a groundbreaking approach to relaxation that transforms how you move, breathe, and apply technique on the mat.
