Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another Bulletproof for BJJ podcast.
Speaker 1:Enter the leg lock. You're a fresh new blue belt. You're like what is this leg lock stuff? I've never trained it before. I want to understand it, even if it's just from a defensive perspective. People are starting to hit you. Oh, you're a blue belt. Oh, you train. Leg locks Bam. Foot lock here, bam. You're like what the hell is happening. Locks, bam, foot lock here, bam. You're like what the hell is happening. So that's the interesting thing with the evolution of jujitsu that now blue belts are training leg locks. And a friend of ours, guido, he said hey, man, could you talk about this? Because it's all a mystery to me and I have no idea where to start On that white belts training them. They are Right, like everyone's training, sure, sure I guess. But it's, yeah, depending on where you train, maybe your gym doesn't even do leg locks at all. But you've heard about it.
Speaker 1:I was watching, I was at Subversion on the weekend. Yep, this is a fight night like a jiu-jitsu card in Australia. Yeah, evening event. There's a bar. There was some big names there. Big names I had Ash Williams, fionn Davis, adele, adele yeah, some Australian stars Nicky, nicky, lloyd Griffith.
Speaker 1:There was a guy there that just stood out to me from Kel's Gym, from Grappling Education. Can't remember his name, you probably know him, but I think he looks pretty young. But he's a big, strong dude, hefty, heft and just guard all day and he's just looking for legs. And I was watching him and I just got the impression. I'm like this guy for sure has been training leg locks since day one. Yep, do you know what I mean? And I don't know where he's at. Maybe he's blue, maybe he's purple brown, who knows. But you're like, you can just tell it's just a new breed in terms of like.
Speaker 1:We used to think that you know, you've got to get to a level before leg locks. But there's gyms like his, like grappling, yeah, they're just like. No, can't Just do it, just do it. Yeah, it works, it's great, you know, I think it is great. But I think where it can be difficult is if you're training at a school, whether you're training gi or no gi, and they have a system which doesn't really feature those things. You're not learning proper ideas around control and attack and defense which you need relevant to that. It's a whole other way of thinking. So what I wanted to try and do today is to make it simpler, throw it down a little, just simmer it back a little bit. The only way we know how we're not going to go quantum leg entanglements with Jeremy Paul Skinner. Right now, what we're going to do is go okay, how can we start with the leg lofts?
Speaker 1:And usually when you're at white belt or blue belt, maybe you've seen it like a straight foot lock or a variation thereof and that might be the kind of only leg lock. You know, and really it was quite funny to me someone who is not a very technical grappler, but like a really strong, brutal human who I know I won't name them he said it to me and it's always stuck with me. He's like, oh, foot lock, that's just a guillotine on the leg. And I was like, yes, that's so good, because this guy had absolutely cranked people's feet off. I think he was only a blue belt. I don't know if he's ever graduated beyond blue belt. Yeah, he's just a hench unit and you, if he can't pass your guard and he's getting frustrated, he'll just grab your foot and, just like you know, nice, he'll. He'll joey worthington the shit out of that. He'll just throw the legs around and just go belly down and crank your foot off. And I'm not saying this is the answer, but what was interesting about an answer? It could work. It could work right.
Speaker 1:What I've seen, at least, is if someone is struggling to pass a person's guard, they start to attack the legs and then things open up, right. Yeah, so relevant to the straight foot lock. For a long time I was told our higher belts won't tap to that. Yeah, you know, like you know, if someone's like a super tough human and they've got decent defense, like a higher belt, they're like for nah. But that is if you are just merely cranking on an extension of the ankle and cranking on the Achilles. But you can finesse it somewhat where it becomes more of a toe hold and you're putting pressure on the lateral ligament of the ankle and if the person doesn't tap you can snap.
Speaker 1:It made very clear to me by my friend Fabinho, who, at brown belt, tapped Lachlan Giles, tapped mini Dave and has subsequently tapped many high level brown and black belts with his straight foot lock, which was actually, uh, like a more rotational, letting the heel slip a little bit. Oh, no, no, actually it's just the way he, he puts the pressure on, okay, he doesn't extend, so the foot just goes this way. He, he puts the pressure on, he doesn't, he doesn't extend, so the foot just goes this way. He's rotating the ankle, yeah, right, and so it has that kind of figure for toe hold, rotational aspect, yeah, and it means that if you do not tap, you your ligaments will tear. Yeah, I mean similar to a similar to an Aoki lock as well. Isn't like the other way? Yeah, but it's that same idea of like. Still looks like a straight foot lock, but you're actually like when, whenever someone, whenever I get an ioki lock put on me, it's my knee, that I feel, yes, you know. And you're like, oh, this is like a fucking heel hook. It is, yeah, but it's, but it's totally legal, right for for lower belt depending, yeah, yeah and and that's that's.
Speaker 1:That can be the confusion and the question that had come through was like, how do I defend this shit? Like, what do I do? And for me, the thing that stood out, because I would always just…. Before we go there, can we just talk about this old belief that straight foot locks don't work on high-level people? Sure, and I think, like for people who are newer to the game, a piece of context around that is that the j, the jujitsu that we learned at the time, that we did, was quite simplified in many ways, and when I look back on it now, I'm like it's almost the case back then that pretty much once you got a hold of a submission like there wasn't, people didn't fight their way out of things as much as they do now. And I would.
Speaker 1:I would make the case that there was less emphasis on the minutiae of breaking mechanics possibly. So a straight footlock and and footlocks which, if we go even further back, we'll like always look down upon. So, by the time we were learning straight footlocks, it was like wrap, wrap it like this, go double wrist, you know like grab your forearm, place the other hand on their shin and hip into it, and if you're really technical about it, it might be like turn onto your side and extend that way because you've got more room. Yeah, but that was about the extent of the braking mechanics discussion, right, and so in that way, I was like, yeah, well, a lot of people will just eat that. It'll hurt them, but it's not going to break anything. Sure, there were people doing it at a high level.
Speaker 1:What you see now, though, if you look at the straight foot lock, is there's so many variations of it, even without this rotational aspect, right, like just how you organize your legs, and the discussion around, like the actual how you're applying the braking mechanics has has grown so much. Even hand position yes, do I grip like this single arm with the turn? Yeah, there's, it's become so much more nuanced. Yeah, because you've got so many, so many more, uh, really smart people working on the problem, researching the ship and trying to make it. Yeah, it's become far more scientific, yeah, and I think definitely the popularity of it, right, like this, is a bit of a thing that if at some point the because Leglock's always been effective, like Dean Lister was, you know, hill hooking people back in 2000, or you know, I mean people will argue like, oh, is it Carl Gotch?
Speaker 1:Like there's been many different grapplers who were not associated with BJJ but in, like, say, catch wrestling or, uh, pancreation or like other forms of combat, who were using leg locks. And there's like old, old, black and white, uh footage in Japan of them doing leg locks in judo which are like, what Leg locks in judo? Like, yeah, it was in there as a you know different forms of submitting an opponent. But what I've seen, at least from looking at the way, say, lachlan approached leg locks and also Craig approached leg locks locks, they had different ways to control the person because they had different body types, you know, but in terms of defending the leg locks, there were similarities there, right, and so this is what I wanted to say to anyone out there who's a beginner who's like, oh, I don't want to, I want to mess with that, that. Oh, you know that's dark arts, or you know? Oh, just just ignore it, because someone is going to put you in a leg lock and you're not going to necessarily know what's going on, and that could be to your detriment.
Speaker 1:So the thing that has helped me is to not necessarily in a role, but sometimes is allow yourself to be put in a position of the person attacking you and to work on the defense and then also know when to tap, like that's really important. But it was not about escaping and getting the hell out of there. It was about staying in there, fighting the hands and then adjusting so you could then counter-attack. Yeah, which was, you know that, which was actually really helpful to me, that you're not trying to flee, you're not just trying to bail and run away, because for a lot of these things, um, you give them the submission when, yeah, yeah, when you try to, yeah, because they're how's your pullout game, fellas? Um, no, strong, strong, but that's the thing by you trying to get out, uh, that can create extension and that can often bring it on. Yeah, and you see it sometimes that fighters will spin the wrong way to defend the heel hook and then make it worse for themselves, yeah.
Speaker 1:So, anyway, going back to the straight foot lock idea, um, actually staying in there and and and grabbing, like fighting their hands and and preventing them from controlling your ankle, is actually a really key way to defend, as opposed to just, oh my God, they've got my leg. I'm going to just pull my leg out, yeah, and so that you would say, like, if you were already in a position, though, where they had you like, where, say, legs, legs on your hip? They've got the foot on your hip and they're kind of pushing you away with that. And on your hip, yeah, they've got the foot on your hip and they're kind of pushing you away with that and you can't, you can't come up to fight. So, I mean, it's it's kind of different and I don't want to get like I said, we're going to simmer it down and make it easier to access.
Speaker 1:It is different when you're standing and your foot's on the ground to when you're sitting on your butt and your, your foot's just up in the air. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like it's like a, uh, like a single x you standing up and they're trying to sweep you and they go to attack your foot. There's a different equation to you sitting down. They've got you in 50, 50 or ashi, garami or whatever you want to call it, and they're they're like a outside ashi and they're attacking your foot and your foot's dangling. Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1:It is more vulnerable like standing up and placing your foot on the ground if it's just more like a straight foot lock actually, in a lot of ways is helpful. Yeah, for sure, if you can stand up. Yeah, if you can. So it's different depending on situation you're in, but I guess what I'm trying to advocate for here is understand that the two key things that's going to result in you getting submitted from a straight foot lock Any variation therein is their ability to isolate your foot and extend their hips, which allows them to either control your leg or your hip so that they can effectively, you know, extend your ankle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so if you can limit that like, if you can limit their control of your hip or your leg and also fight their ability to control your ankle, then even though it seems dangerous, you're actually safer than it might appear, for sure, yeah, yeah, the game changer one for me there was putting the boot on. Oh, yeah, just like. So you're like driving into the footlock and pulling my toes back, yeah, and then you know, and then if they've got legs on me, then clearing the legs and then trying to come up to that, and now I'm now my leg's bent, now I'm fighting, you know, collar tie or grips and yeah, but that putting the boot on was huge and because I guess with the foot lock too, straight foot lock, it's one of those things that someone will throw on hard and fast, yeah, and and it's often in that moment where you just tap because you're like fuck, it came on so quick and it was a shock, it's a bit of a fear. Tap, yeah, that putting the boot on can just like shut that down. I find it's been nice, it is helpful.
Speaker 1:But the interesting thing about that is if people switch and we won't go so much into heel hook defense because this becomes it's better to actually go watch Lockhorn Giles or Craig Jones explain different ways to approach it. But if you look, you push in, then they go oh, I switched the heel hook or I, okay, yeah, and it's kind of different because at a certain point you putting the boot on exposes your heel, yeah, so then you need to go like the other way and point the toe and like, try to slip your, like get your heel out of there. It's this push-pull game that you, yeah, and you're going back and forth. Right, it can be a bit of a tennis match, but what I'd say is special shout-out to our man, guido, if you find you're getting tapped by the straight footlocker for a bit and you're like, how do I defend this? I believe that your ability to try to work closer to your opponent and and and fight their hands and like clear their control of your hip, is going to go a long way to you being able to like take the pressure off the ankle. So I would actually encourage you to go into the fire a little bit and and and play there, do some specific work there, yeah for sure. And then you have to. Unfortunately, it's the only way to get better at the position. No, the danger.
Speaker 1:But then I was going to say knee bar is something. Now, this isn't something that necessarily you get hit with when you're a white belt or your blue belt. Maybe you are. I actually didn't sit over knee bar the other day against a brown belt. Now, before we started rolling, I didn't say, hey, man, you want to train leg locks?
Speaker 1:But he was like I think a three stripestripe brown belt and he was pretty handy man. He was we're in, we're in the gi, but he was like he's putting his guard on me pretty hard. I was like, damn, this guy's really handy. But he kept pressuring out with his leg and I'm like I'll get sick of this. All right, I'm just gonna leg lock. And he, he fear, tapped a little bit. So I just sat around like a, like a far side umber, and I was just on it and I didn't even really push into it. He's like yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's like whoa, no one's ever done that to me before. I was like oh, really, oh, okay, cool, no, yeah, no dramas, like it was all good, there was no, there was no. He was like, wow, man, I had no idea. And I was like, yeah, dude you. Because I just said to him you know, it's the far side arm bar on the leg.
Speaker 1:It's not rocket science, you know I'm not doing anything too technical here. Even though you can have really technical setups for knee bars from guard or from top position, it's the simple mechanics of you extending your hips, controlling the ankle and kind of hyper extending the knee. Uh, you know, and that's, that's pretty easy, you know. So, as far as leg locks get, it's a real basic mechanic. So, uh, when I was working with guys who were training for mma and they were like not the most technical grapplers but like tough guys not, yeah, but we want to, what can we do?
Speaker 1:And I was like, look, you know, in this position, like the knee bar is very accessible, it's very easy, and most guys at lower level mma aren't necessarily super savvy in leg locks. So going to the knee bar is like pretty good control, provided you know, you're not giving too much access to your back, because I can't punch you in the back. Yeah, that's the trade-off, isn't it? If, if they slip the knee bar, like if you fail it, you're often exposed to a back attack. A little bit of exposure there. But I think the far side, one from top position, you're a bit safer there, yeah, because you have your hips under their leg, and so what that means is it's harder for them to just come up on top of you necessarily, especially if your back is to the mat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but the reason why I wanted to bring that up is I feel like, if we can simmer it down, if we think of a guillotine on the foot and an armbar on the leg, like these are things that you've learnt, like these are techniques you may be familiar with in a different context. The knee is just the elbow of the leg. I'm like what the Genius? Also, if someone just tries to knee because that was the thing when I was a blue belt I had a white belt guy who'd done MMA and was just a grisly older cat, he'll hook me.
Speaker 1:And I didn't actually know what was going on. It was an outside heel hook just threw the legs over, reaped the hell out of me, which I thought, oh my God, I didn't even think he's going to explode my knee. I was just like, is anyone seeing this? Right now he's reaping me. He put his foot over my hip Referee what the hell? And just because I learned, because I was just living in the world of the IBJJF, I was like, oh despicable, how dare you? And then I was like, oh my, what the fuck's going on with my knee right now? And I was spinning like just because I just thought I have to stop this somehow. And then my coach came over and said hey, man, are you heel hooking this guy? We're not doing that. You're a white belt, he's a blue belt. Out, you're also wearing geese and what are you doing? So then a discussion was had. He's like oh yeah, was he heel hooking? Yeah, yeah, 100, it was an outside heel hook. Oh okay, and I, I'm sorry, I just simply didn't know what was going on. So that's why I wanted to have this discussion too, because just because it's not meant to happen at your level doesn't mean someone isn't just gonna, some random person isn't just gonna hit you with it. I think I told you this.
Speaker 1:I walked into a gym in in tokyo. We were, we got there, we're there. It was the one. I was a blue belt, we're there for the asian championships yes, biggest comp I've ever been to. I'd just gotten my blue belt and we did like a bit of a training tour in that sort of the day surrounding it. Yes, and one of the gyms we went to it was like a big deal. It was like myself, my two coaches at the time who were competing, um, like they weren't there to fucking corner me or something like we're all competing and a few other students, my mate marcus, and so we'll go and visiting these gyms. Was this the choose your fighter gym, like that. Each, each guy had some. Oh no, oh okay, sorry, sorry, continue.
Speaker 1:And I think it was, I think it was part of estra that we went to, okay, which is like a big name in in japan, and um, we, we walked into this one and it was packed. There was like I don't know tiny little room and there's, you know, 40 people on the mats right and um, it was just non-stop rolls. From the moment we got there, it was just next person oh, can we, can we, can we roll, roll? Yeah, and so it was like this big thing and there was a guy there who was the and I told you about him. He was the national japanese kettlebell champion and he bald-headed, bald-headed kettlebell of a head, yeah, jacked. And this is the guy, he. He walked through like basically two whole teams on quintet.
Speaker 1:I watched one event. He just fucking smashed everyone. Wow and um, anyway, he I was rolling with, I was a blue belt, I was rolling with a white belt and this white belt jumps on a footlock on me and I wasn't. I didn't really know what was going on. I'm like, oh, are we doing them? Like, oh, fuck, he's, he's full locking me, I guess, I guess we're doing footlocks, yeah. So I counter footlocked this dude and he tapped. And as he tapped I looked and, uh, the kettlebell guy was looking at me like like, yeah, like kind of looking at me, like you're not supposed to do that, but I'm like, but he did it to me first, yeah, and then he just came at me and destroyed me. Hey, I'm like, bro, it wasn't my fault.
Speaker 1:Arigato gozaimasu, thank you, did you bow? Yeah, but that's the thing is. It's like are we doing this, are we not doing this? Oh, you did it to me. Well, I'll do it back. It's like there is something a lot easier for everyone to understand when it's just like everyone does everything, yeah, which is more the case these days. And this is, you know, we've talked about this before.
Speaker 1:Communication is pretty important. You say to your partner hey, man, you did leg locks, like it's just important to get those things out the way. So there's no nasty surprises. But sometimes, in desperation, someone doesn't even know how to do the technique right and they're just fucking boom. You're like oh, what's going on?
Speaker 1:So relevant to the knee bar, because I got knee barred really badly in Brazil by like a dog bar, like they're over underpassing and they like triangle the legs and just bridge into it and I was like, oh, my leg's going to explode. Tap, tap, tap. I didn't know what was going on and I got hit with it three or four times. I was like, oh shit, it's when my leg is too straight, like I wasn't. It wasn't like I wasn't locking my knee out, but my leg was far straighter than it should have been. So I was like, oh man, the lesson here is I got to keep my freaking knees in. Yeah, you know, and that's what I'd say If you find that someone starts attacking your legs, keeping them a little bit closer to you is a good idea defensively.
Speaker 1:Yep, is a good idea defensively. And I found that when I did get to brown belt and I started learning like it's probably around purple belt I was kind of curious. I became leg lock curious Just one night. Yeah, it was a special one. This big, bold brown belt just bridged into my leg. Yeah, exploded my knee. I was like what the fuck just happened to me? I need to know what this is so I can defend I think it's the defensive awareness by training even just basic leg locks, not even getting into anything too complicated, you become a better defensive jujitsu player Like you're.
Speaker 1:You're harder to tap if you know. Hey, I'm not going to put my foot there because I'm going to get a steamer locked or whatever it might be. So straight foot lock, knee bar I feel like they are the entry points into some of these other leg lock positions. If you are an experienced white belt or a leg lock curious blue belt and you're just like what is this and they don't train it at your gym, I think it is actually worthwhile finding someone who is experienced in in leg locking and getting a private lesson and getting them to to actually talk you through attacks and defenses and what are the weaknesses and what are the strengths, because you can watch any number of bjj fanatics resources, you can go on sub meta and see what Lachlan does, but until someone latches onto your foot and is bridging into your knee, you don't really understand what's going on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I I mean, I haven't explored all those platforms, but I think for most people there's often too much information. Isn't there where it's like here's the almanac on the footlock. It's like here's the almanac on the footlock. It's like I just need a defense. Yeah, just give me a defense, give me one, and then give me one good attack and you know, work with that. I mean, that at least has always worked for me. Yeah, no, but I think this is true of anything, and a lot of those instructionals can get so so boring.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, because they want to. They want to give the value, right, give you everything, yeah, and they want to have a solution for every possible variation or scenario that you know well, they defend this way. Here's what you're going to do and you're like well, we'll slow down egghead, easy point, dexter and, for clarity there for the newer folks, like straight foot lock and knee bar. You know, in their basic forms they're just like a single plane action. There's no rotation in them, it's straightforward. Look, they can't, they can't, no, no, they can be. But in their basic form, yeah, in their basic form, it's just like a hinge, yes, right, like an arm bar, and so in that way they're a simple, kind of easy one to get your teeth into. Of course, the variations can get infinitely complex, but when we start to go to rotational leg locks, that then becomes this whole other fucking shit fight, yeah, and controlling the knee line, and there's so many layers of complexity it actually doesn't do it justice for us to try and talk in the air here, but we want to give you the jump off point. We want to say, hey, you're interested, or whether you want to use them as part of your game or you just want to know how to protect yourself.
Speaker 1:It is worthwhile to go, and it might be. There's a leg locker in your gym. There's some guy who everyone's like oh, that guy's so good at leg locks. He probably rocks up on like a harley davidson or some shit in spats, yeah, in a rash. He doesn't really tell what's up. Guys like real fucking cool. Just everyone's like, oh, he's so cool. Puts out his blunt, just like, yeah, doesn't warm up, doesn't warm up. Taps everyone, yeah, destroys everybody. When you're coming back, I don't know who knows, I gotta go on an ayahuasca retreat this weekend. I might never come back if I become spiritually enlightened.
Speaker 1:It is important to find somebody who knows and for them to be able to just talk you through some fundamentals that are accessible at your level. If you're already pretty experienced, then maybe this chat isn't for you, but I feel like there is a bit of a gap out there between the ultra advanced and the most basic, for sure. And look, here's a fucking thing. I had to learn straight foot lock defense at brown belt. To be honest, it wasn't until Brown Belt when, like in the Gi, I was fine.
Speaker 1:But people like, as soon as I went to some decent like no-gi gyms where people are really training a lot of footlocks, fucking blue belts, like pulling single leg X and just throwing a straight footlock on me, going belly down, and I'm like, holy shit, I don't know how to deal with this. And that was the reality. And then I don't know how to deal with this. And that was the reality. And then I was like, oh fuck, let's get into it. But you know, so don't feel bad if you're like a couple years in you're like, oh man, I, I don't, I should know this stuff. Man, no, no, you know, yeah, there's so many, we've all got gaps, yeah, but then also more than others, but no, but it. But actually I don't think even knowing saves you, because, like, I have nerded out on this and I have had my ankle Wow Exploded, doing the defenses you know like, of course someone will still get you. But because I'm like, oh, but I'm, I'm, I'm pointing my toe and I'm pulling. Yeah, I did everything right, they just they. They had the counter to the counter, to the counter to the counter, right, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1:It's really tough, like the trace buster, buster, buster, buster. You remember that from the big hit? No, I don't. You never saw that. I saw the big hit.
Speaker 1:But the big hit I remember bokeem would buy and saying, jerking off all the time. Yeah, I've been fucking since I was 10. Yeah, he never jerked your dick before. He's just like. He's like he goes to the chemist. Yeah, it's like, right, at the end, everything's going down like oh, and he's like he's talking about, like what's he say? He's like buys the moisturizer. I don't want none of this lanolin shit. That's my story. Oh, no, well, yes, I said I'll veer a motherfucker. Yeah, yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1:But there's this they're trying to pull a heist on someone and there's the trace buster, which is like if we've got a trace buster, no one can trace where this call is coming from, right, but then the other guy has the trace buster, buster. Anyways, you continue. We digress. Yeah, but definitely. Um, I think, even if it's just from a point of self preservation, learning the basics of foot locking straight foot lock, knee bar, learning the defense, learning the attack. It will also help you, not just for your tap, which means you'll have a better role, you'll be able to work on it and develop Absolutely. And then whatever we can have a chat some other day about the rotational stuff, yeah, and that's where it can get pretty technical.
Speaker 1:But here's the thing people, we love jiu-jitsu and we've, I don't know, dedicated a huge portion of our lives to just thinking about the thing going back and forth. Same thing with fitness. Like it's crazy to me just how long you know, I've been in the gym since I was 10. I'm 40 years old now, but professionally training people 20 years and just being obsessed with it and enjoying learning more and filtering that. And that's what we try and do. We try and filter, like, what worked, what didn't work, why did it work, all the ums, ahs, ifs, buts, all the nonsense. Cut it out and give you the direct good info. And why do we do that?
