Straight Ankle Lock for White Belts (Powerful Details for More Finishes)

- As leg locks become more and more popular in BJJ a common question from newer White Belts is "Should I learn leg locks?"
Now every gym is a little different. But at least for me and my gym, I 100% encourage BJJ White Belts to learn leg locks. 1 it helps prevent injuries as the students are more educated with the position. But it also helps prepare them down the road so they don't end up being a Purple, Brown or Black Belt who's forced to learn leg locks for the 1st time.
Also, just a couple of months ago I had several of my White Belt students hit leg locks in competition.
So in the video I'm going to dive into some basics on using the main leg lock, the straight ankle lock, that will be available to White Belts at most gyms as well as most competitions. I'll also show some details about the reap to help you avoid the position if you're competing and it's illegal.
If you're a White Belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, then i hope this video is useful to you.

Go for the toes, that's what most people get wrong. they go below the toes and crank the load bearing metatarsals instead of the flexible phalanges. When you pull down properly from the toes the leverage shoots up the extensor longus and tibialis anterior and that's a world of pain most people aren't ready for. So remember: Attack the distal phalanges for leverage not the load bearing metarsals.
Great scientific detail! Cheers man.
Just had a sick leg lock seminar with Sean MCcleary. I learned so much about the straight ankle lock I didn’t know before and I’m super excited to add it to my white belt game.
Thanks for the info Coach. I foud myself in the seated position the past few classes and was hoping to learn a leg lock. This video answered all my questions. You're a phenomenal teacher, love watching your content! 🥋👊
This video was extremely helpful just joined a gym struggled with the ankle lock first day and this helped me understand so much more thank you
I did 3 straight ankle subs last weekend at grappling industries in blue belt division
Brother this is perfect timing I just learned single leg X so I am really looking for these haha
Loved when Adam said
Such a great video, you’re an amazing speaker / teacher - Very engaging.
1 stripe white belt here. What stops your opponent from just grabbing your ankle and putting you in it? My friend always just grabs my ankle and I’m not as tough
My first time getting the lowdown on ankle lock technique. Two stripe white belt here recovering off the mats from an MCL sprain. This is good stuff, coach! Thank you as always.
Exact same here except it's a PCL sprain. Heal up quick bud, see you back on the mats!
I got so much mileage out of this late white belt early blue belt. Won a tourney with all ankle locks. I’m not a content creator at all or trying to steal views or anything but there’s 2 videos on my channel from the tourney. I learned to really focus on the toes and make their foot “make a fist”
I like your short on it! I love applying the straight ankle, but I haven't ever attempted it on a standing opponent, so your example is actually super useful for me.
Good info. Thank you.
Damn
Hi Chewie. Quick question for you. I’m in the military so I’m constantly moving around the country which means I can’t train consistently at one gym and build a solid relationship with the instructors. How do you recommend I make the most out of my training and consistently improve while having to switch gyms every few years or even months in my case?
Thanks and love the content!
Are you in the US?
10th planet!! National bjj
I've seen dudes deliberate roll into the knee reap and get their opponents DQ's by shitty judges.
If you would like a better camera man to record hit me up lol I was mentally screaming at him to move around you
3:15 When Chewie said "Right now, I'm far to high..", Adam looked to the camera like: "Can we cut that?"
Been doing bjj for about a month now have my first tournament in a week. you’re the best👍🏻
Careful with adding new techniques to your game a week out… but good luck! you’ll crush it 💪🏽
Ive been there 6months and they won’t pick me to compete… I’m constantly crushing other white belts
Good luck 👍🏻
@@hunterdunlap7937Don’t feel bad, some academies don’t let students compete for a year 🤷🏼♂️
@@hunterdunlap7937 not all schools have comp teams
Adam thought the same thing I did when chewy said I’m far to high to do the leg lock 😂live you chew crew
🤙 ps just got my blue belt on Jan 30
Look at Adam's face at 10:38 when Chewy says play with legs 😅
Actually my highest % finish right now, most other WBs have fuck all clue of what to do with their legs and they're usually wide open. More experienced players know you can actually push this one really far before risking injury and won't tap, but WBs usually freak out when you get this on. Also I like to hook my inside foot into the back of the guy's knee, it helps with finishing it from some positions.
"Right now, I'm far too high to finish the ankle lock."
*Laughs in 10th Planet*
Must be watching that Jedi guy 😂
I'm a white belt with an admittedly pretty heavy interest in leg locks. My gym doesn't frequently cover leg locks on account of my class being made entirely of white belts (it's a new gym in an area with zero other BJJ gyms), but I'm preparing for a competition of my own, and this video is genuinely PERFECT for everything I've been looking for. The entrances are awesome, the sweep/entrance from the bottom in particular is something I've been wondering about for ages, and the explanation on how to safely and efficiently apply to submission itself was awesome. Thanks for directing a video quite specifically on white belt ankle locks lol I appreciate this video a ton, and will definitely continue referencing it for practice.
Chewy or anyone, I read that having the leg the way you show in the video ("underside") is a rule for white belts and having the leg on the ("Overside") is illegal and a DQ? is that the rule for all Belts? OSS
Hey chew I need some advice from you, I’m a white belt and in my gym there is this blue belt who thinks he is a trainer or a bjj teacher, he constantly tries teaching you or explaining you every single thing and most of the times I don’t even ask for his advice, it has reached to the point where a purple or even a black belt is helping me with something, and he interrupts them. I don’t like that, is very annoying, it doesn’t let me focus on my drilling or rolling and the issue is that we are kinda pals (I just tolerate him) so I don’t know how to tell him to leave me alone without offending him and me ending up in a leg lock or some shit, thanks :3
Adam’s intros keep getting more elaborate. Eventually he will have a walkout song!
I've been explaining to students what a reap is for years (centre lines, heel positions, blah blah). A little while back, one of the teenagers said "Ohh so it's like an Omoplata on the leg?".
I've been describing it that way ever since 😂
Went for an ankle lock twice on the same kid at my last comp and he countered me both times with an ankle lock
I'd love to see you show defenses for foot/ankle/leg locks too. As someone who doesn't know them, it's easy to just never use them, but if your opponent uses them... it's not a good idea to not defend.
We just went over this. I never thought to turn my shoulder/face to the floor. I was wondering my I couldn’t get the full pressure. Thanks a lot!
I take self defense Jiu-jitsu (No GI) and am 6 hours away from rolling. If I were only to emphasize 1 or 2 things, on the side via open mat or even doing a pop in class somewhere else, to give me an advantage, what should it be?
@@Boreduumb why
Had no idea what reaping the knee was and my comp is in a week lol, so thank you very much
This was a great video! I enjoyed the extra conceptual stuff as well, very helpful.
I suck at these this is gonna help me a lot
The right leg, on the hip, is it possible to just bend it as well and use both knees to clamp down on the leg like a single leg takedown while doing the foot lock? I am just asking because i don't want to 'accidently' reap - so i am thinking of using both knees to pinch the leg instead of placing my foot on the hip because during competition, my nerves be flopping everywhere. Is it still just as effective?
I've never seen anyone's knee explode from just being reaped outside of an IBJJF competition. It's Jujitsu's equivalent of flopping for the ref in futbal.
Dang. First up!!
Thanks chewy!
only slightly related, but you should do like ... goofball Adam intros that are only mildly if at all related to the video. like, one time he does jazz hands from up in the rafters or something. and everyone's gonna be thinking "tune in next time to see whereTF Adam is this time".
I learned this during one of my earliest classes but have never gotten it. So I’m refreshing my knowledge abir with this thank you. I also plan on using it as a way to pass guard not just finishing a sub. I don’t remember who but someone has said that white belts learning leg locks is bad because then you never learn how to guard pass. But with this you kinda learn both I guess.
I'm a white belt and I love leg locks, I have my first competition coming up and it feels like this video was made for me. Great stuff thank you.
This was called Taktarov by my coach, didn't know the English version for some time :)
adam
Thanks to you I watched this before my bjj class and managed to get my first ever submission which was the ankle lock
I do bjj and every time I get out of guard the my stick they’re legs up to stop me from getting mount/side control so this is very helpful
Always struggle to get that pinch point on the straight ankle locks, ill keep in mind the Gunshow :)
Nice. Lots of helpful content in this brief breakdown.
The entry for Adam Wilson is my favorite part of some of these videos 😅
One of the best thing about this channel : seing Adam doing weird stuff
I wish i watched this before i got DQed for reaping
Is this submission allowed for white belt 10 years old kids?
Depends on the competition.
@@Chewjitsu Thanks
@@dannsii1960most competitions dont allow white belts under 13 to perform any form of ankle lock. only ones i currently know that dont allow kids under 13 are adcc and ibjjf
So I was at a BJJ school that was letting me do leg locks until one day recently meeting today I freaking going to the gym and the owners whom I never met before I used to work with his son let me do leg locks he won't let me do leg locks and meanwhile I'm facing guys that are three times my size and that he's trying to tell me I got to wait till my purple belt that's insane
What is the best strategy if you are a blue belt against a bigger white belt
Ties into what my instructor showed on footlock Friday 😊
Leglocks in the gi? That's against the law!
Thank you, Professor.
I’m a white belt, landed this on 3rd degree white belt tonight and he said “please don’t do that, you wouldn’t like it if I did it to you”. Am I missing something here, because I can’t stop thinking about it now or help but wonder I was being a dick for using this?
I think it's just because of how quickly this sub can go sideways. It doesn't hurt until it blows your knee up. By then it's too late. Being a whitebelt you may lack the control or understanding of how close to disaster you could be
Awesome. Super helpful details.
Thank you for this awesome video
Very helpful. Thank you!
Big help thank you
Leg locks, arm bar, and a choke are something everyone should know. Being able to do those 3 things puts you at an inherent advantage to average men if needed for self defense. Never ceased to amaze me working as a door guy in bars in college how guys with clearly no clue would pick fights with strangers.
but did you actually armbar anyone and injure their arm?
@@salihboyaci5649 What are you trying to say? Your attempt at a question doesn’t make sense
🔥
That reap move that got your student DQ’d is genius 😂 Win at all cost when it comes to high level tournaments IMO 😅
3:11
You are the man
