The Problem with Leg Locks in MMA (and how to fix them) 

😂

Let's see Lucas Tracy's submission game...

He ain't that bad

lucas has the takedown defense to stop you gay grapplers from touching him.

​@@johnmarkson1998cope

Palhares never really made it to that high of a level in the ufc due to his other issues

Youll be champ if you take every contender out the game for a year

@@generickanyefan7097 we aint doing any rematches xDD

Every martial art has already been figured out, so I guess yeah.

Pankration is what the ancient world called MMA. The human body has never changed so what is effective now was effective then.

Sent you what? Where? How do pictures send you something or somewhere? I'm confused.

​@@tomjones6347 Kato Pale was the term the ancient greeks used to label their submission wrestling.

@@MrAlepedroza nice. I wonder what techniques (if any) they had that have been lost to time?

I need to see this Old Testament reference to a leg lock. I hope it's completely legit or else funny as hell.

@@Spiritof_76 When Jacob wrestles with God (or an angel depending on who you ask) in Genesis 22-32, the fight is ended when God "touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man." Unfortunately there's nothing about ashi garami, but I count whatever God did to Jacob as a leg submission lol.

@@shaftsburry1773 A hip lock is definitely out of the ordinary. It would have been a lot easier if god (or the angel of god) had known a knee bar or a heel hook, then they would not have needed to wrestle all night. Jacob might have taken a bit longer to make it to Israel if he had failed to tap.

Bruh stfu with that mythological shi*. Leglocks in Bible lmao

​@@shaftsburry1773the fight doesn't end because, of that. Jacob Still holding him and asked for the angel to bless him then he'll let go. Jacob was crazy strong taking that and still not submitting.

Could get counter F̶o̶o̶t̶ hoof locked in theory though

I think people overlook him because he kept fighting when he was old and lost, when you look at him in prime he is a monster.

This channel started watching mma after the Khabib-mcgregor fight, it knows nothing about the Golden age of ufc

* Paul Harris

Palhares deserved to never be mentioned ever again. The guy is a dirty scumbag. Glad he was banned by the UFC

​@@vinniciuselion4544When was this golden age exactly?

this channel is full casual mode

What are you talking about bro Sambo has a ton of leg locks in it. 🤡

@@Exiecutioner sure but some leg locks like heel hooks tend to be banned from sambo competitions. There’s a reason many people in the grappling community knew khabibs team would not win against pure grapplers. Sambo just has a different rule set not to say sambo guys can’t perform heel hooks it’s just that in some comps you will see heel hooks toe holds etc banned in sambo . Similar to reaps being illegal depending on the division and competition in BJJ.

Yes If it's jiu Jitsu but in Mma it would be very hard especially to Khabib with his ground and pound

@@Urmomma5f4t So you're saying in a real fight, Sambo fighters would beat BJJ fighters? You know without tons of rules.

@@jayluis189 yeah and that doesn’t bother me to say lol because there’s a different ruleset. I’m not going to lie or act like pure wrestlers or pure BJJ guys beat combat sambo guys in MMA . But yes they likely lose in another sport . And actually in some grappling competitions they ban certain techniques to give sambo and wrestlers a more fair advantage because in their sport the leg lock techniques aren’t trained as often. MMA organizations ban certain techniques and have rules like the grounded opponent rule in the UFC or cage grabs. Even time limits factor into how fighters approach a fight. I’m unsure why people say but what about MMA? If we are discussing grapplers course they lose in MMA. But to pretend most MMA fighters have world class technique in everything is silly - their wrestling, BJJ, and striking works great within MMA. It’s almost like people would never want to say khabib could lose in a pure wrestling match against anyone and if he does the reply being “well in MMA…” yeah of course in MMA but that’s another sport

im new on the mma world, how good is that Charles BJJ Style?

​@marcosgarcia8544 it's good but I disagree because he takes a lot of damage trying it and it's cost him fights, the best BJJ is Gilbert burns, hes solid all around but charles has better submissions and just submissions.

I agree. He was still a purple belt when he entered the UFC. A very very GOOD purple belt, and his BJJ developed in a combat style, not a sport style. He is so good. Maia was my favorite fighter before that, win or lose. When he retired he was like a 42 year old fighting people 15-20 years younger who train like savages, and was either winning or remaining competitive, leaning on BJJ.

@@DSP-gh5ei nah I disagree. Burns does not have better BJJ than Charles. He's good too but you cannot compete with a guy that has the most subs in UFC history. Charles has great BJJ from top or bottom. Burns is more a top player only. So was Jacare. He'd call someone into his guard, like Yoel, and then lay there and just get beat up. Charles is DANGEROUS anywhere on the ground.

@DM-sy4hg Pretty much proving what I said, Charles is the better submission artist. Burns is the best at BJJ in mma as he is a well rounded grappler, even khamzat chimaev could not control him on the ground and had to stand. Charles problem is he can't do this, he can only submit people and that's why he loses to people like Islam that can control the fight positionally. Bjj is not the art of just submissions.

He's a grappling guy but maybe he has knowledge on striking

@@rais6036 I’m sure he can figure it out lol

​@Thatdudeoveryonder He has a video about the problem with Muay Thai in mma and how to fix it

The Roman engraving is 2000 years old

You can't claim hownership of a move ... That is not how it works , A jab is a jab , in boxe , karate and muai thai ... It's incorrect and pointless to try and claim a specific martial art howns a tecnique

catch is fake

@@vinniciuselion4544 You are fake

I like catch but this is my issue with it today, "catch invented this catch invented that" this is all just grappling its been done forever before catch and bjj.

Ryan hall?

@Matt-jc2ml what exactly is your question lol

@@danieldelanoche2015 ryan hall is the best leglocker in mma and also the best example of why it sucks

Dorian is a wrestler. There is d1 wrestlers who are going to do mma.

Palhares dude, Palhares - easily the best leglocker in MMA at the highest levels. Scored leglock victories over Fitch, David Branch, Jake Shields and Mike Pierce. 5 x leg subs in the UFC.

Mainly they are taught and learned.

that ULTRA pissed me off lmaoo

He’s a just a over all casual

Confused Who's Number One with New World Order.

That is called sambo

@@dennisodischew7201sambo is literally OP. Combinations of judo, wrestling, ground submissions, and striking

Ground and pound used to be a part of bjj

You could also add elements of fencing , target shooting , and horseriding to mma y'know ?

@@davidegaruti2582 yeah horseriding is very good for the top position

What does this solve?

The joke is your face will get smashed in guard

@@MasoNowa It solves the unrealistic nature of pulling guard when strikes are allowed. Videos about why leg locks dont work in MMA. It's because they do unrealistic movements in sports jiu jitsu.

@@Abettergrappler why would you modify sport jiujitsu because of a problem in MMA? Im not going to change the rules of basketball because you can't dunk in the NFL

@@MasoNowa horrible analogy. Jitsu is a part of MMA. Basketball isn't a part of football. That right there excludes you from the convo. Bye bye. Wasn't BJJ originally shown as a self defense? Where is the defense in giving up the high ground. It's just a lazy move for people too lazy to learn takedowns. Which are way more effective in a fight anyways.

Wuh, Wuh, Wuh, World New Order

Nonsense. Our only limitations are what we put on ourselves and our Imagination.

Come to my gym and I'll prove otherwise, or just go tell Dean Lister or any other leg lock specialist.

How many did he accomplish in cagefights? He couldn't beat Royce three times.

That was a long time ago MMA has evolved since then and you cant fight like that anymore. Just look at Kron Gracie.

Boxing is also unrealistinc : Whay you mean the legs are a fair target ? That you won't wear gloves in every day carry ? Sport bjj is sport bjj , We all know they could still kick our asses with zero problems

@@davidegaruti2582 Who could?

@@jasoncoomer1226 The avg sport BJJ practitioner wipes the avg person, probably more easily than the avg boxer does.

@@PengyDraws I've done both, I think you are incorrect.
