Rickson’s grappling might be more aptly expressed with this analogy: An individual who doesn’t have high structural visualization would only perceive Jiu-Jitsu like a flat jigsaw puzzle.
So, for Rickson, a way of understanding people is not through a verbal conversation but he was able to glean personality types through “rolling.” This information indicates that Rickson’s body, functions as antennae for the brain.
And finally, Rickson’s supreme body-intelligence enhances his understanding of Jiu-Jitsu and is gained from the body having superb skills of sensitivity, adaptability and kinesthetic perception that are gleaned physiologically rather than cerebrally.

 Choke - Rickson Gracie.SFUK Video Reviews by Kaliphil
Gracie himself comes across as a zen master of Vale Tudo, his dedication to training an intensely personal thing.
I have a theory on why Rickson Gracie is as good as he is, he learned ju-jitsu from a very early age, his father Helio 'playing' with him even as a toddler.
Rickson shows this during the fight sequences, 'talking' to his opponents in the ring, 'raising his voice' to gain the submission.
