Master the leglocks that work!
Leglocks are proven submission techniques at the highest levels of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, submission grappling and mixed martial arts competition. There are countless examples of smaller, weaker, and less experienced competitors using a leglock to turn the tables and tap out their opponent. Why then is it that many grapplers have a love-hate relationship with leglocks? Many grapplers simply haven’t been taught how to properly set up and apply leglocks. Others know how to attack with a leglock, but are lost once their opponent counters the initial attack. Some fear of botching a leglock and ending up in a bad position, getting crushed by their opponent. Other grapplers are worried about injuries because they’ve never been shown how to train leglocks safely. These are all valid concerns, but now there is a solution. Stephan Kesting has trained with some of the best leglock experts in grappling, and has spent years developing and refining a system that solves the riddle of leglocks. Now, for the first time, he is sharing his entire high percentage leglock system on DVD, making you an expert in the most powerful leglocks in grappling. On High Percentage Leglocks Stephan breaks each technique down into the HOW, WHERE, WHEN and WHY, and then builds it back up, putting it into a tactical and strategic context. Leglocks are often taught as a bunch of isolated techniques, without an overall strategy, but that is NOT the approach in High Percentage Leglocks. Stephan then shares the best leglock counters, and then shows you how to counter those counters so you can successfully submit an opponent who is doing everything he can to stop you. You will also learn how to safely train the most dangerous leglocks.

WHY COVER THE ANKLE LOCK, HEEL HOOK AND TOEHOLD?
The four most common, highest percentage leglocks are the straight ankle lock, the heel hook, the toehold and the kneebar. These are the ones you see over and over again in sparring and in competition. This DVD covers the straight ankle lock, heel hooks and toeholds (kneebars are covered in the acclaimed Dynamic Kneebars DVD). There are many other leglocks in grappling, including shin locks, hip cranks, calf cutters, etc., but they tend to have a lower success rate than the ‘big four’ leglocks. Also, if you master ‘big four’ then you will have a base of leglocking knowledge which makes it easy to learn all of the other leglocks and leglock variations.
IS THIS VIDEO GEARED TOWARDS GI OR NO GI GRAPPLING?The vast majority of techniques shown on the High Percentage Leglocks DVD apply to both gi and no-gi grappling. There are only a few variations that are specifically geared towards the gi, but this is always made explicit and usually no-gi variations are shown. Many Brazilian jiu-jitsu players will ask: “why should I learn heel hooks when they are illegal under BJJ competition rules?” Good question. First there is always the chance that a BJJ newbie shows up at your club and, having learned about heel hooks in the UFC decides to try cranking your leg with one. Don’t you want to know how to counter it before he hurts your knee?. Second, even if you are never going to use heel hooks in sparring or in jiu-jitsu competition they are very valuable in self defence situations: a heel hook can quickly and efficiently disable an opponent allowing you and your friends to escape to safety. Third, the material on this DVD is organized so that ankle locks (legal in BJJ) and heel hooks (illegal) are interchangeable finishes to the same entry; very few changes are required to transition from one type of finish to the other. This structure allows you to easily learn both techniques, and then choose the variation that fits the rules of your situation. |
