I understand heel hook and toe hold but why isnt the kneebar taught or used much in GI?
I was told once that leg locks are just a cop out anyways, I haven't used them live since.

Leg locks are not a cop out. That's a BS fallacy that needs to stop.
Who the heck thinks leg locks are a cop out? Try making them a serious part of your game and tapping out your best training partners. Its probably not gonna work... Unless they really suck. Legs are half the body, ignoring them would be cheating yourself out of learning biomechanics and more awesome submissions, in my opinion.
Wut.
Sorry for the confusion.
When I was told that they are a "cop out", it was in reference to beginners learning and relying on leg locks for submissions rather than learning proper transitions and how to patiently reach your goal.
Hope that clears some things up.
