What Will You Learn?

The best leg lock entries are set up long before you touch the legs, and few rising stars use upper body dilemmas to get there better than Marlon Tajik.

Marlon Tajik is a Swedish black belt under André Galvão at Atos, a 2025 IBJJF No-Gi World Champion who took double gold at brown belt, and the 2026 ADCC European, Middle Eastern and African Trials winner. He wins with a submission-hunting game from guard. Now he's sharing the entry system he uses to get to the legs against high-level opponents.

In Foreplay Before Leg Play, Tajik starts with the goal of the half butterfly position and the far arm drag grip, showing you how to seek it, maintain it and establish it from different guards. From there you learn to apply the sumi gaeshi sweep with the far arm grip, counter a disengaging opponent with the foot sweep, and use the dilemma off the sweep to enter leg entanglements. This isn't just a leg lock course, it's a system for weaponizing upper and lower body dilemmas so the leg entry is the natural next step.

Whether you're a guard player who struggles to get to the legs or a leg locker looking for higher percentage entries, the far arm grip gives you a single starting point that connects sweeps and leg attacks.

The system works because every defense opens something else. If your opponent denies the far leg, sprawls on your lower body or attacks your upper body, Tajik shows you what to do next, and the scoop grip and reverse scoop grip give you two more ways into the legs.

If you've ever wondered why elite leg lockers seem to enter the legs without a fight, the answer is in what they do first.

Learn how to set up your leg lock entries with dilemmas your opponent cannot escape.
