So it seems lots of folks liked the Henry Akins stuff. So I thought to myself…why not his instructor, Hickson Whats-His-Name? People might like seeing that on here. If it proves popular, Module 2 will follow shortly.Now, I have to be honest…having trained a bit in Rio and other places, I think BJJ is an awesome grappling art. When it comes to actual self defence in the streets, I would rather learn the Lee Morrison curriculum than what the Gracie family offers in terms of “pure” self defence…but maybe that’s just me?

At any rate, what does become apparent here is that he is masterful in his conceptual understanding and presentation of grappling concepts. Some have said he is “outdated”, but in terms of underlying grappling concepts, I would beg to differ.
