Mixed Martial Arts Techniques : Straight Leg Ankle Lock in MMA

[agmart100]

that dude was totally reaping the knee

[daveshn]

Where is the submitter's left foot? Does it hook the other leg? Press the glutes/hamstring? Or does it just go where ever?

[uhumn]

@daveshn it hooks under the leg and pushes the glute helping extend the leg straight and keeping the from defending

[CaBeeful]

easy mestre you gonna break the mat tapping

[TheTonka35]

[FPSgr8t]

@TheTonka35 Grammatically impossible

[getthetapjj]

This instruction and execution of the technique is complete crap

[JUDOANGEL305]

@getthetapjj Thank you for your humble opinion. What can we do better to make it "in your opinion" good instruction and execution of the technique?

[getthetapjj]

@JUDOANGEL305 You could, for instance, try training with real BJJ, sambo, or CACC practitioners who will show you how to properly apply a straight ankle lock and apply it tightly, instead of learning from Youtube and DVDs. The ankle lock hurts you because you are letting it, but anyone who knows any leg lock defense isn´t going to tap to your technique. His legs are not deep enough to control yours, it's all loose. All you say are the surface elements, you don't explain any technique

[JUDOANGEL305]

@getthetapjj I've trained, competed, and taught Judo, Ju-Jitsu, and No-Gi all my life. I hold the rank of Sandan (3rd dan) in Judo and a brown belt in BJJ under a BJJ world Champion from team "Gracie - Barra". I have several Judo and NAGA National & International Champions, including 4 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze at the 2009 jr U.S. Open, all of whom I teach, train and coach. The guy you so criticize on the video is a Judo black belt and a terrific grappler and NAGA Champion... and you are?

[ivan123456789101112]

HAHAH its so funny to see him at 0:49 when the assistant cranks his foot and he taps so hard and fast. poor guy :P

[JUDOANGEL305]

STRONG TECHNIQUE, VERY EFFECTIVE

[firehotbanana]

wtf stupid mexican ad im not a fucking beaner show a american ad if ur going to show 1 at all..

[itsmeatwad1992]

@firehotbanana watch ur fuckin mouth...

[stuntmen713]

i beat my dad with that move

[blablablaImtogood]

haha same

[stuntmen713]

my dad used to be a semi pro mma fighter

[blablablaImtogood]

cool, I guess you learned alot from him then ^^

[nitrousxpress]

this move has no escape right?

[540corkscrew4ce]

the way to escape is to reverse it

[willslayer43]

or you can just try rolling out of it that's what i do or just get up fast enough then all he has is you're legs but i got the rest of my body to take care of him

[willslayer43]

you just try rolling out of it or you can stand and all they have is your legs and you got rest of you're of your body to take of him

[pchancey007]

That too! If POSSIBLE, I'll try to control one arm, sit up, or clear a leg and sit out. Like I said if POSSIBLE, sometimes you can get a sweeter foot lock depending on the skill level of your opponent.

[JKT6]

how? :P

[woxigor]

[gutierjm]

spaz lol?

[azngamer16]

Have you ever been in an ankle lock? I practice Jiu Jitsu and I learned this a long time ago. I remember my coach was performing it on me and as soon as he started to crank my ankle it felt like it was exploding.

[jeremysoon2b19]

whats really weird is that i just started traning bjj two months ago, i use this sub all the time in my rolling matches ad get the sub every time- but no one has ever done it to me

[laokon]

@jeremysoon2b19 might be because usually in bjj leg and ankle locks are forbidden in white belt division (which you should be after 2 months training, unless you're an uber genius)

[JimmyReno1]

@laokon White belt division or not, I'm pretty sure the way this is shown is 100% illegal in higher belt divisions as well, due to his ankle crossing over the hip. The guy executing this technique needs to be on his own right side so there is no pressure on his opponent's knee, and he can never put his own foot on the inside of the hip of the leg being attacked.

I think he is aware of this though, as he tries to emphasize that this is for "MMA" (and accidentally slips in BJJ - maybe nerves).

[laokon]

@JimmyReno1 Sorry i can't my first comment on it, so i don't know what i wrote exactly. But if you cross from inside it a knee twist, that i'm 100% sure, from the outside it should be allowed since you're not twisting the hip or the knee at all. Basically you say the only way would be by just pressing your knees together to block the oponents leg?

[JimmyReno1]

@laokon You had just wrote that they are illegal in white belt divisions (which is true). The rule is the exact opposite of what you say though. You are only allowed to cross from inside out, not outside in. This is sometimes called "reaping the knee", and is illegal in most rule sets, not just the very restrictive IBJJF rules).

Still... good to see someone said something intelligent on here.

[laokon]

@JimmyReno1 [Quote] Still... good to see someone said something intelligent on here [/Quote] Thanks ^^

ok, As said i didn't remeber my first comment, i thought i mentioned also Kudo, my actual disciplin where both are allowed. No recall however about the bbj white belt one :O even if it sounds familiar :p.

So only inside-out. I'll keep that in mind, even if it seems less effective to me.

Kind regards

[JimmyReno1]

@laokon Oh ya - totally agreed. It is less effective for sure. That's why it is always easy for me to remember - the legal/proper way is ironically less effective!

[laokon]

@JimmyReno1 sad to notice such things :(

i prefere outside in, since i some time let my oponent slip out to get a kneebar

just my 2 cent :p

Was nice talking sensed with someone over youtube :)

Kind regards and keep it up :)

[MyHockey1234]

@jeremysoon2b19 when someone goes for a leg or ankle lock the other person usually goes for the same thing so whoever gets it first is usually the winner

[mgallagher1996]

@MyHockey1234 not if the first person locks both of there legs around the leg they are attacking

[fuckkwit]

@jeremysoon2b19 do you wear belts in bjj?

[mgallagher1996]

@fuckkwit yuo

[chopan6666]

[harrymail7]

[n0ddy08]

[KAWB0YZ]

[lasgo3565]
