This is too true. I am a white belt and I didn't even know my ankle was about to be cranked until I heard it start popping and it was just a light roll. Luckily it was fine and I tapped as soon as I heard it start popping.
Fact. I tap early in leg locks or if I’m rolling with certain people I know they won’t crank it fast, they will give me a chance to fight thru. But fuck that tough guy shit, tap early, a split second late and ur fucked
Jesus Christ just tap to leg locks ... I’ve been straight ankle locked hard before too. It hurts so badly how can you NOT tap. I wanna come back to the gym again tomorrow not sit out for 6 months! Also I just dropped my private health insurance
@@blackmambo8702 if that's how you cope with your cowardice then that's your problem. And its not lifelong injuries or tap, the injuries are not confirmed and they are still trying to escape. For you they're confirmed though because you have already accepted failure as a foregone conclusion like the coward you are. Enjoy your meaningless life as a coward.
A Plus hey man just because he thinks the earth is flat doesn’t mean he isn’t a legend in BJJ. The contributions he’s made to the sport will always be recognised and appreciated, no matter how delusional Eddie may be in his personal life.
@@VinylUnboxings Renzo Gracies in NH lets us but only against higher belts White on White leg locking is still too risky just cuz people dont know how strong they are yet when they get high hands and crank an inside heel hook
What's scarier than a world class expert who breaks people's bodies because he loves what's he's good at? One that acts like my sister when he hears a story of a broken nail.
That silence at @4:19 conceptualizes well the perplexity of people that practice BJJ intelligently towards people that do not care about destroying their bodies while practicing it. 😂
I had my ankle break from a heel hook. I was relatively unfamiliar with leg locks I never felt anything then just pop. It was weird cause all other submissions you can feel it slowly reaching that point. But with heel hooks it’s nothing nothing nothing then just devastating
Go train bjj bro. Its awesome and ull love it. Just tap quick when u get caught in joint subs. No biggie there. These guys are pro competitors and have a lot in the line thats why some wont tap.
Consider injuries in a street fight where you end up on the ground and someone trying to boot you in the head. You can always ask training partners not to go for legs or avoid other areas you are injured.
@@onslaughtmma5110 is it reasonable to ask them to not go for legs, or my shoulder, or my back, or only go like 10% speed? Lol i assume at a certain point no one would want to roll with me if i have a big list of asks
@@FirstLast-gk6lg brother I’m 45 I started last month I’m the worst I’m a big gym bro muscular all over no gas tank and I’m getting tapped by 17 yr olds my pride was destroyed the first few classes I’m older so I’m afraid of getting seriously injured but fuck it man let’s go
People tapping to chokes but not leg locks is fucking insanity. Guillotines are a little scary but a RNC barely even feels like anything and basically can't hurt you unless the opponent intentionally injures you while you're unconscious. Not tapping to a leg lock can do serious tendon/ligament damage and not to mention it hurts like hell.
It comes from the classist basis of bjj vs vale tudo. Same thing with the dislike for non gi bjj. The gi kept the folks in the slums out and they started vale tudo. They utilized leg locks and this was demonized by the upper middle class bjj practitioners.
Im the smallest on my mat and just about any mat that i step on being 5’6 not even 120 pound blue belt. My best positions are leg lock entanglements and i deeply advise you that them shits are not a game. You can feel the knee moving around on your hip/stomach and ive busted a guys knee so bad it made me sick to the point i puked. Absolutely disgusting
I did, when all my tendons and ligaments detached in a split second. I should have tapped sooner because he was locked in but it didn’t even hurt until the whole knee collapsed and twisted at once
leg submissions are the easiest way to catch a higher belt and nobody wants to say hey u can’t do that so the best way is to just go ahead and learn them so u don’t find yourself tapping to a white belt
A judo teenager almost snapped my shin in half while i was trying to escape a straight foot lock. I was so skinny back then, thank god the bone didn't snap. I was hurt for 2 weeks and then i went back to training
Leg locks in Brazil where considered dirty fighting in a grappling match for a very long time and are still considered to be like that now it's just not as commen as it used to be. The narrative is that people go for leg locks because they suck at breaking ur guard which is basically true 90% of the time.
If you don't tap, you get what you deserve. Ask these guys in their 50's when they're in wheel chairs, 'was it worth it?' I got called out for being a coward for a straight foot lock on a guy. I said 'whatever dude, I'm through to the next round, see ya.'
ahahahaha at the end when he just says "they wont tap to anything", and then looks at Whitaker and they all start laughing and the video ends lmfaoo!!!! Its like a legend or a fable being told
I think it partially seen as non respectful but also embarrassing if you tap to a leg submission. In rolling, I tap if you get the position, firstly cus they deserve it and secondly it can go from 0-100 really quick
What if someone is trying a heel hook and it’s just not working? Like it doesn’t even hurt enough to tap? It kinda feels like you’re trying to make fun of them when you won’t tap
To be honest Leandro never looked the same after his leg popped vs jones… I think the back take came from his injury and he tapped to Rnc because you cannot hide from them.. people can stay straight face with a toe hold but a rnc will pass you out
The Gracie clans “never tap” mentality destroyed so many careers before they started. I knew a lot of young guys who never tapped to kneebars and ankle locks who got hurt and never grapple again. There’s no shame in tapping, you lost but you fight another day and try to learn from it, if you’re caught and try to “tough it out” you’re just trying to protect your ego more than your joints.
It’s oldschool to think like that, leglocks are a modern thing it kinda sucks due to the damage is does kinda silly for a sport better don’t but sometimes some one will do anything to win
I didnt tap to leglock in jujitsu, was completely new and some asshole put me in a heel hook in rolling, didny tap fast enough and got a tare in my miniscus. Still have problems with it 2 yrs later.
