Hey guys,
So in a previous thread I stated I had been out since Jan with an illness but I've beaten that and find myself thrust back into a regular training schedule and it feels amazing. What I am noticing though is that on average our gym has been focusing on leg locks 500% more than we ever did before. It wasn't too long ago that only straight ankle locks were the only thing taught to white belts and very limited techniques to blue, etc...The submission only structure that has taken over most tournaments where I train has brought in a new mentality not to mention watching Tonon shred everyone he goes up against. Just curious to know if this is the new wave to take over in the last year and if your gyms are embracing leg locks and their focus as much as mine has.
