Posted by Todd Shaffer on
Take that first step with this important and simple drill
On the scale of 1 to John Danaher, the vast majority of BJJ practitioners know very little about the leg lock game. My instructor Tom DeBlass has shared with me many times his thought that the majority of practitioners who think they know leg locks, do not really understand the proper mechanics of finishing leg attacks. Entering into the leg lock game can be extremely intimidating, but thankfully with the help of seminars and instructional resources from BJJ Fanatics primarily, the game is changing and the knowledge is spreading rapidly.
