Masakazu Imanari is one of the most well-known innovators of the leg lock game. Known as ‘Ashikan Judan’ (10th Dan Master of Leg Locks) he is credited with inventing the Imanari roll and is considered by many to be a pioneer, using his ferocious and advanced leg attack game to decimate opponents in MMA who had no idea what hit them.
In this free instructional, Imanari will show you some of his favourite foot locks including:
Outside heel hook from 50/50
Straight footlock, Imanari style!
The famous Imanari roll
Inside heel hook
Achilles Look
Heel hook and escape from saddle.

I don't care how many leg locks you pull off in grappling tournaments,the true test of a leg lock master is to do it in MMA ...Master Imanari has proved this .

[@breakingbadest9772]

I dont think Imanari is the kind of guy that would want to risk going into mma, doesn't seem like his personality fits.

How can we get this guy for a seminar? does he even do them in the US?

[@ennio5596]

🙏

[@1k_lance]

1:00 did he just crack a rat

[@ala7048]

Anyone knows how the Shocker works? What is the mechanics of this move? I can't quite decipher it from this angle.

[@denizsav]

There is a pressure from leg, shin to our opponent's neck but we cannot see because of angle. We lock our hands so that he does not escape

[@timothya3112]

He’s finished at least two fights, that I remember, with it.

[@tredstone1739]

Tony Ferguson should watch this before his fight with Michael Chandler

[@King-jq5vt]

Even the JAPANESE don't call these positions Japanese names. Why are all the Donaher guys calling them Japanese names. Lol.

[@jamestk656]

As someone who used to live in Japan as a foreigner, I'm going to guess it's because they never think that foreigners can grasp Japanese so of course they'll call the positions as we call them. If anything, he knows he's doing this video for a foreign audience so he's trying to do us a favor.

[@King-jq5vt]

@@jamestk656 The actual reason is that for the last 20 years these positions were called honey hole, 411, inside heel hook, reverse heel hook, 50/50, Sambo leg knot, reap, game over, ultimate game over and so on. The names he uses are the same names we all learned when we started grappling back then.
I've also lived/trained in Asia for over a decade and I've been doing bjj since 98. So I've seen every possible trend and name change at this point.

[@jamestk656]

@@King-jq5vt Well then it sounds like people call them what they want to call them so why shit on Danaher for doing the same.

[@King-jq5vt]

@@jamestk656 because it makes it difficult to follow what he's talking about. Like all the sudden he's taking about inside senkaku. Or calling an arm bar juji gatame. Lol. Obviously this makes it difficult to know wtf he's taking about for absolutely no reason. And it's particularly annoying when you've been doing jiu-jitsu 20 years and you don't know the basic terms for things when he's speaking.
If I suddenly started calling knee bars, "skateboards" I'm pretty sure you'd be like..."The hell is he taking about... That's a knee bar."

[@adampalamara]

I always done the Shocker a little differently..

[@universalvisioner]
