Royce Gracie Jiujitsu and Sabaki waza

I have been studying Sabaki waza for over twenty years. I have learn these techniques from both Kancho Ashihara and Kancho Ninomiya. My bias is that the science behind both Sabaki and Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a perfect match. At the Agawam site of Jim Hughes and Royce Gracie New England you can experience this combination. These techniques can be used for self defense and MMA. Sabaki is a technique of getting to your opponents blind spot where you can have the greatest chance for success. Acquiring the advantage position where you can escape or finish your opponent with strikes, throws and/or jiujitsu techniques.
