How to Do Leg Locks : Calf Crunch

[IceCreamMan201]

my last name is barnett....

[sroxb93]

I really don't think anyone would tap to that in a mma fight. ....

[codenamevengeance]

In my case, I prefer Jiujitsu for my ground game, Wrestling for my clinch and Muay Thai for striking. You're pretty well rounded with that in your arsenal. Call it the phalanx of all mixes.

[Grinder116]

The first that came to my mind when I saw that pass: Wouldn't it be easier to just go for a kneebar? I just have to turn my hip in and I got it, right? also I think the kneebar is a way safer submission as i probably won't turn into a race (here it might be heel lock vs calf lock or something similar) and I don't have to deal with this pass (which I think might be difficult to pull of in a real match/fight)

[IronKingLeo]

Awesome move.

Sounds like something I would pour milk on and eat for breakfast.

[SideControl1]

Great instruction! Thank you!

[Rind0Man]

Anything move with the word "crunch" should be effective.

[mrkiky]

but the calf crunch is just a pain submission right? doesn't he get a heel hook or ankle lock if he has your leg under his armpit there? which would get you into more trouble.

[filipezin]

lol what about the other leg ?

It's not trolling but until u reach my knee, my other leg would be prob on your face.

NOT TROLLING, just saying.

[dhimitrisrusis]

damn cool and awsome but only one question for you guys

How exactly are we going to have someone down in a way like that???!

please respond!!!

or if it is not much trouble make a video!!

[wolfman6696]

@dhimitrisrusis Single leg or double leg takedown in a street fight is really common from there a calf crunch should be pretty easy.

[Chanut83]

For this one and the reverse heel hook what is stopping the other guy from just doing a regular old heel hook on you? Whoever is more aggressive wins?

[KingBellyButton]

this is soothing...

[heliraisers9]

the sharp bone on above the wrist is just like a knife if used the right way and is very affective great vid

[BichSukMy12Inch]

scissor baby scissor lmfao

[L053Z079]

0:09 - 0:11 Looks fucking gay dude! Lmfaooo XD

[Yellowswagg69]

@L053Z079 LMAO....i thouqht they wer finna have sex.no homo

[joe0692]

Ya this doesnt work unless the other guy is a pussy, and i know that sounds ignorant but when i grapple for fun ive done this move when im just messing around and it doesnt do anything, but i might be doing it wrong. who knows.

[fireyphoenix1989]

@joe0692 if your not getting a good amount of power transfered to the leg then you wont be doing any damage . when i use this i have found its more of a grip move than anything else the pain comes from useing your body weight to pull the lower leg towards you while holding the upper in place with your legs this i have found puts a lot of pressure on the knee structure...................do­ne properly it feels like some one is tearing your leg off

[joe0692]

@fireyphoenix1989 Ya ill have to work on it, im prolly doin it wrong. Ill try finding a way to use my weight more like you said.

[PapaJohnny904]

that looks soooooooooooooooooooo gay

[carlinhotheprodigy]

scissoring

[carlinhotheprodigy]

scissor

[ForbiddenParadoxes]

Or you could pass the other leg too and go for a figure four leg-lock WOOOOOOOOO

[snowman2bandit]

i'd like to see if anyone could get this submission on any decent fighter, this isnt going into my arsenal

[Nipodio]

you have my respect as a martial artist XD

congratulations you are a grate profesor :)

[fighterman227]

scissor

[cadu100]

Great move!!!

[SGSacaindo916]

who the fuck is gona tap from a calf crunch in a real fight

[TIMLINGLE]

@SGSacaindo916 If you don't want a permanent injury when fighting or training then you tap!

[SGSacaindo916]

@TIMLINGLE maybe in training. nobodies tapping from a calf cruncher in a fight or a grappling tournament

[ModdingAndGlitching]

u guys look gay doing that HAHA

[thatkindofguy234]

@ModdingAndGlitching ur a homophobic little fag :)

[MMAf1ght3r]

and whats keeping him from sliding his knee towards your armpit... hmmmmmm??? "flarp"

[TIMLINGLE]

@MMAf1ght3r or reaching forward and grabbing his hands, buddy doesn't cross his legs to prevent it, its on the wrong side as well, and to the guys who said they wouldnt tap from a calf crank has never been in one obviously. People should not base there opinion of this move off of this video!!! U can seperate the calf muscle if its sunk in deep enough.

[ihatebobsaget1989]

barnett's been caught with steroids more than any other fighter in history.

[Y0uTubeLicksMyBalls]

so what happens if u both submit each other at the same time, anklelock and calfcrunch? its like who can tolerate the pain longer or something?

[iowaoverosu]

@Y0uTubeLicksMyBalls

there was a ken shamrock fight with i think don frye and something similar happened. but neither tapped. they both had it on each other for a while.

[kyokaido99]

nice leg lock but before he put that leg lock to me im gonna break his unkle first

[keokeo2]

youl scream like sissy galll!

[XTeamXRebornX]

your gonna break his uncle??

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

These are excellent videos! Very professional and well spoken.

[streetdreamz210]

i tapped out to this along time ago

[moraisvendeta]

you made the right decision...i broke the guys leg coz he didnt want to tape i guess it was too much pride for him

[JamC187]

when u get used to it and teach it over and over again u can stand it.

check out sambo leg lock if u like this one.

[123rusmir222]

its like modified achilles leg lock

[pedomano]

The victim has really beautiful feet

[tropics1020]

love these videos

[mrkibbles369]

oh yeah scissoring mmmh I like this video that's hot.

[williamwilson666]

Good simple stuff. Really nice.

[vulnerable3]

that guy is so fat he makes albert look little

[bboybrok3nwing]

@vulnerable3 hes not really that fat more like a little over weight

[a1a2a3a4ad]

ya it looks good but whose gonna sit there and let you wrap around their leg...and its a neutral position he could hit it just as fast and or easy as you

[IDoWork911]

Pussy shit i break legs

[stupkid]

what if he does it to you too?

[snapper842002]

double submission! lol

[phoenix677]

kick him in the throat

[airsoft572]

great move thats easy to get to

i really confuse my friend when i do it

[lolpancakeslol]

its hard to pull off though

[s1lentkrnsou1jah]

ow calf. very painful.

[Bjjownsu10]

Bjj is the best.

[69NK58]

wats the move called when you use the blade of your shin to crunch? i saw a vid on you tube and i really like the move, but i cant remember the name

[Khaos44]

probably calf crusher

[BrodyLewczuk]

forgot to mention to buckle up because the opponent is not going let u pass on him

[kneebar111]

its def finally a cool move glad you like it

[wfnss]

it looks like u never been to to a real BJJ place be for but i would recomend u to go to a good one and train im sure u will change your mind on that.

and yes thanks again for showin that crnch i never saw that one be for i will try it.

[catchandcrush]

LOL now that all you BJJ nut riders are stealing its techs and calling it BJJ, try using some BJJ leg locks... oh wait, there called catch....

[catchandcrush]

WEAK SAUCE!!! Learn some catch wrestling and and MAYBE you can hit a leg lock, all the BJJ does is roll around and look like retarded monkeys playing grab ass... oh yeah and NOT getting a leg lock.

[bjjdustoff]

you're right! Catch wrestling is so effective it is totally dominating all of mixed martial arts...oh wait, that's bjj...

[illclint26]

Josh Barnett

[bjjdustoff]

I agree that Josh Barnett is an excellent mma fighter who effectively uses catch wrestling. I was responding to the guy above me saying that "all bjj does is roll around and look like retarded monkeys..".

I'm not saying that catch wrestling isn't effective, but you can't deny that bjj is dominating most of mma with regards to ground game.

[lfcjames94]

@bjjdustoff i would say wrestling is but we have our opinons :)

[Clinterus]

@bjjdustoff

Agreed.

Good wrestling helps you maintain good posture, get takedowns, and prevent them.

Basically, having good wrestling makes it easier to make use of bjj

[Desi9]

@bjjdustoff not any more..

[mma850]

no its sambo and catch wrestlers bjj are good gi guy which one has a title on Palo Fila look at Fedor ! to bjjdustoff (

[bjjdustoff]

I can't don't understand what you're trying to say.
