A discussion and demonstration of leglocks legal in IBJJF competition with Rob Biernacki. For leglocks completely illegal in the IBJJF check out www.grapplearts.com/leglocks
Better to know as many locks/submissions as possible, then trim down your repertoire for competition, rather than be content with blissful ignorance under the pretense that "that lock's not allowed!". Anyway, thanks for another excellent video!
comment from another vid: (paraphrased): "most effective leg locks involve reaping. that's why it's a lock." if an org doesn't teach leg locks, well good luck to those students when they need to survive them.
As someone who's mainly interested in the practical combative aspects of martial arts it's really frustrating to see some of the rule changes that have taken place in BJJ and Judo over the years.
@@akdune Yes. ... Most BJJ and Judo schools and instructors focus mainly on competition. They tend not to spend as much time and energy on techniques that aren't legal in competition.
@@matthewzito6130 ~"Damn, I wish rugby coaches would stop focussing on the sport and focus on high tackles and spikes instead." We're not here to learn how to fight all of those so awfully common bandits and dastardly villains on the streets. We want to train, compete and coach safely to stay fit and healthy. If you want to learn how to quickly maim and incapacitate that scoundrel who keeps committing highway robbery near your woods, find someone who wants to drill it separately with you.
@@matthewzito6130 On this one I agree with you. This was purely a political move by the IJF. My father, my brother and I still teach these techniques at our dojos.
I completely agree with introducing leg locks before they are legal at the user's level of competition. They don't have to be mastered by a lower belt, but at least exposed enough to where they somewhat understand what a leg lock is and how to manipulate it. Roughly speaking, I had to actively collect leg lock information during my purple belt since they weren't a main part of my school's curriculum. Now here at brown, I feel like I am at a severe disadvantage. So usually when I train with capable partners of lower rank, I try to incorporate leg locks so 1) they don't end up as disadvantaged as me 2) they might end up teaching me something.
I feel this in my soul. I've been training for over a year and I really want to start experimenting with leg locks. Unfortunately there are no no-gi gyms in my area and my current professor will not allow any leg locks at all. To the point where if I'm in anything that looks like an ashi garami he will tell me to stop even if it's a straight ankle lock which is allowed at white belt IBJJF. Do you have any advice?
Excellent explanation. I would like to see a series (or perhaps a separate Kesting channel?) on JiuJitsu for self-defense only. I suspect many others don't care for competition rules. Excellent material. Love the videos.
With knee reaping the issue is that when a person defends it by pushing in the opposite direction of the reap, pressure is placed on the knee. The defender is doing it themselves and not the person doing the reaping.
Hi Stephan. Great video. I notice you have what looks like a tennis elbow brace around your arm. Do you suffer from tennis elbow or golfer's elbow? Do you find the brace works well for grappling?
I'm not 100% sure when it'll be available again - right now I'm trying to work with Apple to get the apps developed and this is proving super-problematical. I really hope we get it worked out. Budovideos did grab a bunch of copies when I first released it, and so it's possible that they still have some left. Otherwise go to grapplearts.com/leglocks and sign up for the early bird notification for when/if the series gets released again (it's really, really good)
this doesn't help your situation but i picked up the DVD and Online access and it is very good. I'm a black belt so i am a little critical of what and how videos present. this set is really good. Rob is very good at explaining things and the set is exhaustive in what it teaches.
Sir, I have been training Mix martial Art since 4 years now and since last six months we started with jiujitsu. If we are not competing or learning this just for self defence, is it ok to learn the technique that are not allowed?
The ONLY leg lock that matters is the figure four leg lock, mastered by *woo!* the one *woo! Woo!* and only, "The Stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun!... The Nature Boy Rick Flair... *struts around* *Woo! Woo! Woo!*. Ha!😂
Can you tell me if the vaporizer (Eddie Bravos move) from lockdown position is legal for a blue belt in ibjjf? This position is used to attack the knee from lockdown. Please answer it seems unclear for people in my gym to answer.
Hey Stephen, I am not all that versed in IBJJF rules, but the knee bar sub at 8.06 looks to me to have a reap, could you explain this please? thanks man, Avery
Why the fuck are you berimbolo'ing into the fucking truck position in a street fight? ...if you can do that you can do a toreando to a knee on belly and ground and pound. Fucking truck in a street fight. This ain't John wick bitch.
My partner done a heel hook on me which made me submit , and done it after discussing the position with a reap . I felt the submission at my knee straight away and tapped to that rather than the heel hook . I felt if we had done that under a live rolling situation there may have been a injury . I can understand why higher belts should only be doing certain moves as they have more control and don’t go into it like a manic .
The heel hook is supposed to target the knee. The idea is it twists below the knee while keeping your hip isolated and keeping your thigh in the same place. It can blow out all the (tendons?/ligaments?) around your knee if done properly.
Colton Dale thanks for the reply . Yeah I was thinking the submission was through the foot . Only just started getting introduced to these submissions , not live rolling this was just technical as I am a white belt . Well it seems the reap makes this submission more effective ? Had some time off from the gym with Christmas as you do hahah. Going to practice it a bit more when I get back in gym next week .
@@Peterhardacher Armbars, kimuras and wristlocks are subs that are also dangerous if your opponent REALLY wants to make you tap and specially if you don't understand the mechanics and the danger of it
Your toes are almost touching each other and they are like this for a very long time. It's like when two people's hands are slowly going to touch. So romantic.
I believe you are referring to the Mundials match from 07? I remember that, but that was way before IBJJF outlawed knee reaps, in fact I believe that was the first time they held the World championships outside of Brazil.
Ibjjf needs to go at least in NOGI the rules are for gi and very poorly adapted for no gi they are out of date with reality. These bans are old due to the rivalry with "luta livre" here in Brazil, leg locks band should have already fallen out, leg locks should have been taught since white belts, because of this meaningless rivalry, Brazilians spent decades disdaining leg locks and today they don't know how to do it. defend them.
