A Guide To The Main Leglock Positions: Ashi Garami, Saddle, Leg Knot, 50/50, Outside Ashi 

when i used 50/50, "most" brazilians said it was BS because a gringo did this in Brazil.. But I won ADCC with this vs a very tough Alexandre Cacareco. The term 411 was named by my friend Jocko Willink and it is the move i used to beat the great Rodolfo Viera.. Game over is the word I invented for the other position because it means the game is over, the Russian Knee knot. Door stopper is one of the foundations of leg control i have always used... I like the video and the explanation irmao

I approve of this message :)

thanks for clearing that up. Now whenever I see 2 leglock experts going at it, I can actually understand what's going on instead of it looking like tangled leg spaghetti

5 years and this is still helping people. I just started getting into leglocks and this gave me a great starting point, thank you!

One of the very best explanations of the system I've ever heard. The delivery was spot on, easy to follow and easy to comprehend. New positions this complex can be very difficult to grasp at first, but Gustavo lays it out in a very simple 5 rule format that makes it easy to learn and put to use.

bro I love how at the end you ask us to recognize the positions thats a refreshing concept

The Very best tutorial I`ve ever seen on the topic, thanks Gustavo. Greetings from Germany

I watch this every day

One of the best leg lock tutorials I have seen! Thank you very much! I know this is an older video, but I hope you read this! I was recently promoted to purple belt and half guard along with leg locks has become my game. I have been watching this and drilling this over and over and my leg lock game has increased significantly. Thank you! Ossssss

Great video, I like how you break down everything and make it simple and easy to understand!

Fantastic video. Explained clearly and coherently. Thank you

7yrs and still a huge help!

That's wussup, thank you for posting this video including traditional names of the positions, extremely helpful

Even Dean Lister likes this so you know it's good.

Amazing video I learned a lot and i loved the honorable mentions at the end

excellent breakdown. thank you

Brilliant explanation, thank you so much!

Really helpful! Haven't seen too many videos just defining these positions.

Great explanation of the techniques, really appreciate them. Thanks for the video. Osss

Superb stuff! Went to an Eric Ramey seminar yesterday which focused on the Ashi Garami, just realised I have a whole new game to learn :O)

This was great - thank you! That ending sequence with all the transitions was especially helpful.

This video is Gold, keep up the good work

thank you ....i use that position but didnt know it was so important ..i just used it to attack the ankle not as control and rolling and stuff ...well done

Great vid, very clear and good detail

I watched this video just when it came out and it totally blew my mind. I have been doing leg locks ever since. It is/was especially just two years ago, really difficult to find out the names of these positions

great video, thank you! Would you please make a video on Inside Sankaku entries? More specifically butterfly to inside sankaku. Cheers,

Thank you for explaining this in such a simple way Professor. There are so many complicated videos on leg attacks and positioning. You’re videos are always easy to comprehend. I feel like I just sat through a seminar. Thank you again for this video.

Great video man! Really everything is clear and easy! Now I just gotta rewatch and rewatch to learn thanks a lot man

Great work man, awesome vid.

I have this course and I totally forgot that I have it. It goes into greater detail and I'd highly recommend it. It's a very good price as well.

Good job boys! Very well explained.

door stop!!!! very well said irmao

Really good video, very clear explanation

Excellent video, good foundation is what makes the difference

Excellent instruction !

Now I finally understand the difference between the game over and the 411, for a long time I thought they were the same

Really helpful, thanks!

Awesome info, well explained

This is a fantastic video.

Great explanation!

many thanks gustavo and mma leech. im new to leglock game and this is a huge help to get me started and understand this new world!! thanks again

Great video!

The Best explanation. Start with the Ashi Garami. Thank you a lot

This is amazing thank you ! The only thought I have is with the outside ankle lock, when you cross your feet are you more likely to be heel hooked? Even if you hide your foot that's top over? That's when its the same side ankle lock

Awesome explanation super simple!! Very impressive, I don't love leg locks or know them well but you explained them perfectly. Thanks so much I have a lot to learn lol.

Great series. after gordon and cummings and tonnan Success I gotta learn this

Perfect explanation of all the deadly leglock positions💯

Amazing video-tutorial.... ;) Thumbs up for that..... ;)

great video, didactically great too!!! Oss

Beautiful video brother. I love attacking legs so this will definitely help alot more. Simple and to the point

Guy on the right just woke up :)

That’s amazing. It would be great if you can teach some legal options from the honey hole. I use to attack the calf crank (not always cans adjust it) and the knee bar to the controlled leg. Toehold is very difficult to adjust...

this video was amazing. ive been training ashi garami for little bit and it was always so confusing to me. i just sat though this whole video took notes the entire time and rewinded it a bunch. and now IT ALL MAKES SENSE now its just about repetition and training it all into my memory.

this is great, exactly what i was looking for.

Sir,can make a tutorial on how to defend the MMA ground and pound using leglocks?

Excellent video

Super helpful - thank you

Awesome information thank you!

Nice explanation

Very nice and skilled man to study with!

Awesome

At 12:10 you attack the top leg, but something I learned yesterday, interests me. When you're in the inside sankaku, you can also roll onto your other side and attack the (now) bottom leg with a heel hook. If you lift your hips up and you apply pressure with your hips sideways onto the knee it really feels like your knee is going to explode, a lot more pressure than when the leg is on top.

great shit bro!

Thank you Sir!!!!

you've earned yourself a sub and like! awesome stuff :) thank you! :)

Thank you!

My favorite video right now

Good to see Canelo making the transition to mma

Ty

Amazing! Ossss

Thank you 🙏🏽

Jiu Jitsu Sweetnesss! OSSSSS, BOSSSSS! Thank You ------

Last one from guard was cool.

MMA LEECH: this was a educational lesson to say the least in which it was greatly appreciated. But now that you've shown how to apply these leg locks, and how to counter the counter attacks could you also show how to prevent being put in these leg locks. And I guess one answer would be to not extend your legs.

Right here

the rear ashi garami knee bar u showed was critically different than the one Gary Tonen submitted gracie with tonen had control of the opposite leg as well as the attack leg...critical to success.

Just to clarify for myself then, the main difference between the Saddle and Leg Knot positions is whether you have cross-leg control or same-side leg control (respectively)?

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

question: if you wrap your arm around his lower calf, why not crank it? i had this before in training and i had to tap out, it felt like a reverse calph slicer or something dont even know the name (calf crank?) ps i am fairly new to bjj/grappling so if this move im talking about is easy to get out off: let me know!

To em San Diego e sou pobre pá caramba. Se eu trabalho de graça poderia treinar 2-3 dias por semana? Até agarrar trabalho?

Is the third submission considered reaping the knee?

Hello All. I have a general question to these positions. Let's have the ashi garami as an example. Is it still called ashi garami and a perfectly fine/good position if I'm on my other side? Example: in the video Professor Gustavo Gasperin is attacking the left leg and he is on his right side. Is still called ashi garami and a good position if he was on his left side attacking the left leg? In that case he would still prevent the oppenent sitting up with his right foot right? Thanks you!

anyone has info on russian leg lasso? Ive seen gary tonin use it but cant seen to find any other info position

I'm almost certain the saddle/honey hole is reaping as the foot on the outside leg crosses the center of he opponents hips.

wow , new leg lock guy here

Chapter 2 and 4

The russian leg laco is legal in white belt? I don't understand if it is on the knee or like a straight footlock

When did Canello start jiu jitsu?

1 person didnt like this video what a clown awsome video osss

Of the five, is the only reaping the leg knot?

Professor, do you consider Inside Sankaku superior to Over/Game Over?

Is the fifth position considered "knee reaping"?

White belt here. My issue with leg entanglements is that it seems to me that some of them have a lack of control. take ashi compare to say a traditional submission like an americana. With the americana you have mount and have control. where as Ashi is seems like its less about control and more about speed. Like can i undo this before this guy blows my leg up? Thank just seems really dangerous to me. Any one more experienced here willing to shed some light?

Fuckin bad ass. Keep the videos coming

My Coach does not know that I am here 😎

Is this renato laranja?
