(apologies if anyone else has already pointed this out before)

it was neat to see body locks and something that resembles a RNC during the scene in Avatar where Sully is taming the ikran.

I'm going to assume this is a joke and simply say "lol."

Not a joke, go see the moving brother, but make sure you see it in 3-D. Its AMAZING!

 

[Damone]

I've seen the moving brother before. Have you seen the moving brotha, though? Way more explosive and athletic.

Idk, I kinda thought that when I saw it, but then realized that it's just the natural thing to do if you're riding an animal. That's what I would assume, at least.

I agree with you and I thought the same thing for a moment, but I guess it's just something about the way the scene was shot that made me think there was an intentional reference being made.

Not a big deal of course, just found it to be an interesting bit of detail.

Prob just 'cause you're an MMA/BJJ fan or practitioner. It gets in your head and you see it in a lot of things, even if its not really there.

That's very true, but in this case just happened to notice something the filmmakers researched and intentionally included
