Purple belt breakdown...Don't hate - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
The leglock ban was reasonable at the time. In 1899 if you tore someones knee it meant crippling him for life
Now it's a simple surgery and a brace for few months
That is a very good point as well. I did not consider the science at the time
Yep just a little ittie bittie surgery
Yea, still not that simple. Should be legal of course but leg injuries are still catastrophic
it would be the same if you broke someone's arm.
This is really, really great stuff. Thank you for posting!
This is a great explanation. So Here is an opinion and PERSONAL view. Does not mean i am right by any means. Coming from an "old school" mindset... I don't frown upon leg locks. Leg locks are great and very effective. Love those things. I see the current high level guys hit them from a bunch of different positions. Matter of fact take the current King as he calls himself Gordon. His coach is a Renzo Gracie black belt. Does not get more old school than that. This Man simply kept up with the times and ensured that BJJ evolved and that is what it is all about. Personally I believe in a strong Foundation. I think that the younger kids are seeing these videos and assume that because these guys are so great at leg locks that they are not good at the armbars,kimuras, ESCAPES and GUARD PASSING I believe guard passing is absolutely critical because you learn to pass into one of the many dominant positions like Mount, side control, knee on belly,etc. One of the encounters i had was a kid who was a purple belt i believe. and really into competing. he was complementing my transitions between guards and then told me that he would have attacked a leg lock here and a leg lock there. So we began the roll and i hit the Margarida pass immediately and went to north/ south. I remained in north/ south for a good 2-1/2 minutes without attacking. I moved to kesa gatame and reverse KOB and he was not able to get anything. He noticed he needed work on his defense because without getting out of those positions you cant land too much. When i roll with someone i like knowing i can smash their guard so i make sure to get the pass first before attacking anything. The gentleman i rolled with had about 5 years experience with bjj and did not know a lot of the basics. His coach is a leg lock heavy guy which isnt bad. And also he mentioned that he watched a lot of leg lock videos. His base was very off and his guard passing was not there when i had him roll with some of my purple belts. Hes a very talented kid and so kind. He hits me up for private lessons and he is improving tremendously. I believe all aspects of bjj should be learned. The younger guys should learn a good foundation and the older guys should keep up with the times as well and not be stuck in the old school mentality. Also the verbage should be learned cuz DAMN lmao these names are hard to memorize. Thank you for the video bro and for reading my essay. Again it is just a personal View
The young guys learning basics and old guys keeping up with the times statement really makes sense. John Danaher’s guys actually are winning by exploiting people who refuse to evolve. Half butterfly is half guard with a butterfly hook rather than a knee shield. Seems like a simple change, but it complicates the position in an incredible way. You can’t pass as you would a standard half guard with a knee cut, you’ll get out in 411 if you try. Passing in the normal direction not addressing the hook will get a sumi gaeshi type sweep. If anyone lifts a knee you can switch to SLX. And at any time you can switch back to full butterfly. In Gordon’s IBJJF matches he wasn’t leg locking, but using half butterfly and 411 positions to pass from. Danaher’s been putting emphasis on the body lock pass because people aren’t as familiar with it yet. I’m a blue belt and as a white belt never attempted a leg lock, but just a few months of butterfly half and body lock passing has me sweeping/passing people I honestly consider much better than me simply because they don’t understand the position enough and haven’t done the homework. Ironically I also train judo (brown belt) and in my last 3 competitions have been in top position from a trip/throw the whole match with all opponent’s but 1 🤦🏼 but if I’m playing guard at least I’m ready!
You guys are both spot on in my opinion. I think the true value of leg attacks comes from 1) the ability to escape and go on the attack right away 2) the ability to transition from upper body attacks to lower body attacks and vice versa. They should be able to fit into your Jiujitsu game. Not be the only thing you do. Personally I came from training at an old school gym in the gi for 5 years. I have just started studying the leg game for the past year or so which is why a lot of my videos are about leg locks. I feel as though I needed to catch up with the no gi world in this aspect of the game. But like you said it is crucial that the other aspects of the game are not overlooked because then you become a one trick pony who will get smashed by anyone good
Great explanation and drill. Will practice this a few times
Thank you!
This is perfect timing, just went over leg entanglements in class today! Great breakdown, I'm definitely gonna be revisiting this!
Awesome! There are so many different names people use for the positions. I try to use the names the danaher people use but your school might use different lingo
This is awesome man thank you. Appreciate the insight on how experts recognize positions and patterns versus randomness
Awesome glad you found it helpful! I don’t that type of stuff fascinating and am going to try to incorporate that type of stuff more into the videos
Looking forward for Part 2, awesome videos!
Thank you! I am hoping to drop part 2 on Tuesday
Great to see a breakdown that explains what is happening.
Thanks my man! Appreciate all the comments and the support!
This is my third time watching this since you released it. Such a good breakdown for me as someone just getting into leg locks.
Awesome thank you! I am glad you are finding it helpful!
Hell yeah! I waited for this 👌🏻
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Awesome breakdown bro. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you! Should be out Tuesday!
I love your scientific approach
Brilliant video. Thank you
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
Great explanation!
Even for a Japanese John Danaher’s naming of leg entanglements is confusing af
😂 too funny. Thank you for the support!
Thanks for the video.
You got it my man!
Awesome work
Thank you!
Smashing that pause button!

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 That event was 🔥
great work! greetings from europe
Greetings and thank you!
I’ve only gone down the leg lock rabbit hole recently, and am trying to get better at recognizing the various leg entanglements and chain them together. I’m good at getting to slx (ashi garami) and sweeping, but controlling it has been a bit difficult with higher belts (as it should be). Having both opponents legs in each of my hands has allowed me to throw a full leg over and then pass the leg to 5050, which is a lot easier for me to hold position from a fleeing opponent. I have a home gym that is where my promoting coach is, and we train heel hooks in no gi even with white belts in the room. The other two bjj gyms I drop in once a week for class they don’t really do any classes at leg locks. Whenever a new guard comes up that’s trouble my coach Paulo goes an hour down the road to Lucas Lepri and magically has 3 solutions for it that actually work! The 10 hours of driving twice a week is worth the knowledge, and while most coaches dismiss anything seen on TH-cam if I bring Paulo something he’s like “let’s figure it out!” Not closing your mind can go a long way not only for personal jiu jitsu growth but also the advancement of the sport. Love the videos!
Well said 💯👌🏼
Finally a video for me.
Anything for you Sean!
@@LIMIBJJ keep up the great work man, I’m recommending you to all my Jiujitsu friends.
@@seanpgallagher22ify thanks man much appreciate! Hoping to drop part 2 on Tuesday
I think an important thing to add to your leg lock chart besides counters and bsck exposure a levels of control and ability to transition/recycle. The stench lf an outside ashi position is in the ability to recycle ad nauseum
Good point. Might revisit this video in a year or so and redo it based on what I learn
Appreciate the shout out. As I was watching this I couldn't help but think it reminded me of that comment.
Curious here, what made you keep outside sankaku out of the video? Don't the DDS guys love that position?
I think another thing that might be worth adding for part 2 is the list of submissions from those positions.
For example, my gym loves honey hole. In addition to the inside heel hook there is a texas cloverleaf, toe hold, straight ankle on secondary leg. The position allows for great control over the secondary leg. None of those submissions are as dangerous as the heel hook but they are there as other tools to threaten with
Yeah man thanks for the comment
For the beginner video I wanted to keep it as the simple leg configurations then kinda work up from there. So in the coming videos I will talk about outside sankaku and how it compares to inside sankaku but just wanted to kinda set a base. It’s tough to fit everything into 8 minute videos haha
@@LIMIBJJ you right. Also nice work man great video. Will you cover any other positions in future? Backside 5050, 8020, or sambo knot?
Maybe public education on why the inside heel hook is more dangerous than the outside? Idk jist brainstorming. Love the content man keep it up!
@@patlikespina appreciate all the ideas Patrick. Right now I am literally thinking of just going through your first comment and talking about each section of it. Then maybe taking a little break from leg locks. Seems like we have been doing a lot of that lately haha
Nice
Thank you!
nice
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. Appreciate the comment and the support 🙌🏼
I love this video and will be recommending it left and right, however, i do have some constructive criticism regarding the rankings.
First of all, i don’t agree that Outside Ashi surrenders as much foot exposure as 50/50. When your opponent places you in Outside Ashi, you have to pummel your secondary leg in, before you start digging for the counter heel hook, whereas with 50/50 you can just go straight for the counter HH.
I also don’t agree that Inside Sankaku gives up as much back exposure as Outside Ashi, seeing as how you can go for the back without even clearing your opponent’s knee line from OA. Not to mention the fact that you don’t have to do any fancy rolling stuff to take the back from OA.
So maybe a 2.5 on foot exposure for Outside Ashi, and a 2.5 for back exposure for Inside Sankaku. 🤔🤔🤔
Hi! Thanks for the support man. Yeah I definitely agree with you on both of these points. I was kind of stuck on comparing the different straight ashis with one another and comparing the cross ashis with one another. I should have considered more of what you talked about above. Thank you for the feedback!
awesome vid!! Is leg lock DEFENSE on the menu!!??
I will do some more for sure in the future but in the meantime check this one out!

@@LIMIBJJ can't wait for Tuesday. Thanks for all the effort you put into these A1 videos.
@@Deadward1113 awesome glad you are finding the videos helpful and thank you for the support!
I'M NEW TO THIS, BUT I THINK THERE IS AN ERROR AT 1:29: "Our first ashi garami is a version of a straight ashi garami, because our opponent's left leg is going across our right hip. This is called irimi ashi garami, or better known as single leg x. Our second ashi garami is a cross ashi garami, because our opponent's left leg is going across our RIGHT hip. So if their leg crosses our centerline, it's called a cross ashi garami." I THINK IT SHOULD BE: "Our first ashi garami is a version of a straight ashi garami, because our opponent's left leg is going across our right hip. This is called irimi ashi garami, or better known as single leg x. Our second ashi garami is a cross ashi garami, because our opponent's left leg is going across our LEFT hip. So if their leg crosses our centerline, it's called a cross ashi garami." CAN YOU CONFIRM?
For a video intended for dummies, you lost me around 5:00 were you started introducing terms and movements you never explained.
Just a constructive feedback. I'll come back when I am good enough to understand your videos.
In combat you need your legs for mobility. All people everywhere instinctively recognize this. And either we accept the responsibility to protect the credibility of jiu-jitsu or we don't. Sitting down, laying back, legs first jiu-jitsu when done by two people together is a subject of ridicule for anyone that sees it who doesn't do jiu jitsu, and also by half of the people who do jiu-jitsu. The reason is that is looks ridiculous. You only miss this if you're nerding out, oblivious to the world. Its only defenders are those who do it, and they only have clout inside bjj because of how effective it is in BJJ competition, and it is. It's irresponsible, though. It's a race to the bottom. The guard is wonderful at giving a chance to the weaker person. However, when two people build their entire games there, then fight, we see the absurdity of abandoning stand-up and top game, two necessities for the sport based on a martial art to retain it's martial foundation instead of floating away from it and becoming a strange, orphaned oddity. It's a hack discovered by selfish, ungrateful shortcutters who are the first generation off bjj practitioners who don't have a caretaking impulse regarding the growth and maintenance of jiu-jitsu, just a standard, selfish consumer mindset. Too bad.
