I felt this with Royler Gracie (when he "got under" me with minimal movement) and a bit with Rosendo Diaz (when he offset my gross power in an usual way, then removed my sense of balance to reverse me) at seminars, and both would speak about making someone "light" in order to move them, or reverse position. I'm not going to speak to the level of sophistication in which it was "making someone's power zero, or offsetting their strength via mind-directed force manipulation" from a pure IS perspective - as it was before my chasing of IS stuffs - but I do feel comfortable in saying that there was overlap in both the tactical application sense as well as the notion of "making a connection between yourself and another's center and moving them with your intent" paralleling the approach that might be taken in a purer IS training paradigm.
