Straight Ankle Lock And Counter Against Common Escape

www.Chewjitsu.net

The straight ankle is a must have for every grappler. It is a fundamental technique that can set the stage for other more advanced leg locks later on.

In this video I show a super basic straight ankle lock and then I show a counter that can be use against a common escape.

I personally teach leg locks every week as part of our training regime. It's made a huge difference. I have more students using the leg locks in class and in competition. I also have fewer injuries related to leg locks.

As my students have become comfortable with leg locks they've found the right way to control the position and also when to tap.

If you're not working on your lower body game, you're an incomplete grappler. Period. Even if you don't want to be "The Leg Lock Guy" you can still reap the benefits of having a developed leg lock game. Either for defense or for offense.

I don't really want to be a leg locker primarily. But I love knowing that I can defend them properly. Also I've found that nipping at the legs causes the guard player to become more gun shy and makes passing easier.

Hope the technique helps!
