Biernacki Rob, Kesting Stephan. Modern Leglocks position cheatsheets

Grapplearts com., — 15 p. Leglocks have been around a long time, but in the last few years they’ve become much more sophisticated, powerful, and effective. These innovations have resulted in leglocks becoming the dominant submission in no gi grappling competitions like EBI, Polaris, and ADCC (plus they’ve had a resurgence in MMA as well.) One of the biggest changes is the emphasis on controlling the underlying leglock positions rather than going straight for the submission. In some ways this is an old approach (how long has jiu-jitsu been preaching Position before Submission again?). What you have in this book is a checklist of the essential leglock positions. For each position you’ll get an idea of how to do it, what your options are, other names for that position and more. This is material taken from “The Modern Leglock Formula” that we (Rob Biernacki and Stephan Kesting) released at Grapplearts.com. It’ll be enough to get you started, just know that it’s far from complete. For each position you also need to learn the finer details of control, the gripfighting, entries, transitions, attacks, defenses, and escapes.
