Instructional leg lock videos ?

lol at a white belt trying to tell someone something is shit advice im quite sure also if i were to ask you to show me some fundamentals youde have tons of errors
It's cute you're so sure of that... really is... But I have explained fundamentals to higher belts before. I know 16 year olds with better knowledge than some purple belts. If you're enough of a lifeless nerd you can know more than enough.

In the end beyond your your theory against mine, the practice says I'm right. I subbed most of them that day via leg locks cause they lacked it. It's not like I was using some dirty illegal trick. basic Achilles locks(even side Achilles locks) are legal in white belt level so their coaches fucked up by sending them with missing knowledge, whether you like it or not.


" I don't have any belt whatsoever. ... I think it might be useful to hold your pants up, but that's about it" -- Bruce Lee

I know junior high schoolers that know better math than college students. my friend took a course one once in 9th grade, and he wasnt some sort of genius...

lol of course it does people who say this are usually people upset they arnt promoted to the belt they feel they deserve
I don't agree with him that belts mean jack. Belts are a great way to separate experience gaps which is a great indication for coaches with many large group/classes. But I started martial arts pretty late in my life, so maybe as a kid I'd strive with passion to climb up some imaginary colored ranking... but It just doesn't interest me as an adult. However I love to stay after class and discuss transitions or anything i'm curious about with my sensei for hours.
Just had a blue belt win Acc sliver sir. Belts mean jack
Nick Rod is an exceptional freak of nature so I hate when people bring that as an example.
That's like Saying Bernard Hopkings won a world title in boxing at age 49 so wearNtear and physical prime is a myth. NOT!

I appreciate your adult response.

Belts are for people who need something to shoot for. They only mean something because people give them power.

You don't have belts in any other major sports. And they have zero problem telling the difference.

I've rolled with killer blue belts who tapped me constantly. I've rolled with browns who didn't have "it".

It's all relative.

i'm glad somebody managed to digest my point. very rare in sherdog from both hardcore fans and casuals.
I didn't want to sound condescending, but the other guy himself came off worse. and he's a bjj instructor too... as a teacher myself, although not martial arts, I find that ... a bad trait for someone who's job is to give information.

cheers though.

People who suck hang onto belts hard. Their belts hold immense value to them as they are their main claim to legitimacy while the techniques they have learned are often seriously obsolete and/or they rely on intuitive ability to defend they obtained by being a victim of countless years of vicious beating on the mat and some sloppy improvised offense.

I am a Basketball coach, Boxing coach and sr level grappling student. It's easy to say x matters more than y but it takes a humble person to evaluate why you feel so strongly about it to begin with.

I encourage my athletes to find a method that works for them vs relying on me to give you all the answers

I never understood that. A guy I used to train with in was like "damn it, I didn't wanna be promoted to purple yet, I was so good for a blue belt", I was like "get it together, yogev".
remember guys, don't be a yogev. flow like sunny water, embrace the whole rainbow.

EDIT: PS: I DONT MEAN WE SHOULD START LETTER GUYS HEEL HOOK EACHOTHER THE FIRST COUPLE OF YEARS. just throwing that out there...

Eddie Cummings was interviewed by Budovideo Jake who himself is one of BJJ unsung heroes where he had interviewed, had techniques shown, and rolled with so many luminaries.

In that 4 part interview you can find on YouTube, Eddie went into great lengths explaining why leglocks can be taught at lower belts but due to the knee and ankle structure, and spazzing people, it’s much different than getting caught in a armbar. He said by the time you feel pain, the damage could already have occurred where your knee needs surgery. He explained what he thought was the best way to train and learn leglocks. That’s the problem with people where they’re so fixated on getting the tap or when they’re sparring their brain gets into this combative mode.

The problem is that people don’t want to listen to their instructors if they are very knowledgeable about leglocks. I really don’t see most instructors being able to have a training methodology unless you train under someone like Eddie Cumming for example who was so articulate in what causes Leglock injuries. It really comes down to experience or you practice Sambo and leglocks are a large aspect of the training if that’s the case.

Just my two cents.
 
Tex Johnson, at unity, is also a good case study for leg attacks.
