Gracie Insider - Footlock Defense

[takidabossen]

hmm thats weird, that means i can never stop watching it ? ;D

[nrallenuk]

i've done this by accident in the past, i wasn't sure what i did but i usually try the fall to the side method. now it will be less of a struggle with all the details. so now i just need to work on heel hook defense.

do you start by putting your foot in the boot?

[takidabossen]

Interesting! i didn't know about that foot lock defense! I know about an another one there you grab the head and his foot instead of the knee, but this one is also very effective indeed :)

[Erae007]

m i da only 1 whos noticed their voice is ridiculously identical?

[MrTango1009]

I can safely say that your videos really explain in great detail on how to do this. I study Martial Arts myself. I have a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, but I am REALLY getting into Jujitsu and Judo. Your videos are great.

[BxMafioso718]

LMAO @ Chopping feet up

[thicknecked]

People actually pay big bucks to these two numbnuts to learn how to fondle one another? Quite a racket they got going.

[primate4]

Sweet, thanks guys.

[capnstanky]

Thank You excellent instruction.

Peace

[rjones775]

for all you gracie lovers look at this youtube (Shihan David James on Groundfighting)

[Efferts]

Wasn't the footlock the reason BJJ became popular when televised prizefights began?

[wildchild6660]

No I think it was the triangle choke

[darta69]

@Efferts The footlock was made famous by  Sambo fighters.

[Urbexx99]

big detailed Tanks for share.

[Vash1202]

The best part for me was that they also in a way showed me the belly-down footlock which is awesome ^_^

[eugdog106]

thanks a lot for this! footlock defences were my biggest weakness. im very gratful.

[kepa2003]

Nice Process! Great Details

[imajorhavoc]

gj with the details , much appreciation

[hollerfirst]

this is a great dojo

[sbryd]

i got a question i dont do my footlock like this i singulate by opponents leg by wrapping one leg under there leg and the other on top the same leg and lock the ankles now this works great for me and they cant get out of it but can they still get out doing this?

[probablypete]

I might be moving to CA and if I do I want to train here but how much is it to train there? Does anyone know?

[bocaramsmma]

If you go to the gracie jiu jitsu website, and your referring to the Headquarters in Torrance, Ca, it's like 160-170 per month,if I'm not mistaken. Best of luck.

[probablypete]

Thanks! That's not that much more than I'm paying now, I heard that Renzo's school costs 250 a month, DAMN!!!

[buffgeo]

Ya but thats times square in NYC bro!

[buffgeo]

[cburcinc]

what was the Gracie Insider technique for the month of January 2008 ?

[mabus911]

iv only seen the legendary rickson submitted once by his brothers royler by footloock

[dayjo325]

Ghostpaw...think before you write. You are not making any sense. First..what difference does it make if a "BJJ" guy or "Karate" guy or a street thug has you in a foot lock? The foot lock is still being applied so who cares who is doing it??

Second....if the foot lock is properly applied, you cant lean forward to punch or eye gouge or whatever you suggested since his/her foot is preventing you from leaning forward.

[GhostPaw24]

umm... your facing each other, his using both hands to grab your foot, aka no defense, and you do a 4-step move to "save" your foot. Just punch, eye gouge, hammer-fist, palm strike, etc the guy. C'mon seriously now, fighting is an ever-evolving sport so try to keep up with the times, strict-BJJ days were over years ago. Learn some strikes and implement them into your fighting style. Sorry to say but these videos have become nothing more than "how to beat a BJJ guy."

[artesuave8]

ghostpaw come on man open your eyes! you need the defense you are facing each other but if the guy is good at footlocks he'll rip off your foot before you even have a chance to react ("punch,eyegouge,hammerfist,pa­lm strike,etc")and by that time you'll be screaming in pain and not be able to stand while he does and repeatedly kicks you in the face.MMA is great but you need a good Jiu-jitsu base. hears a quarter go buy a clue!

[QuietBol]

BJJ was made to allow smaller fighters to beat much larger opponents. Telling a smaller guy to strike his way out of trouble is just nonsense that any knucklehead could advise. Striking at the guy is not going to get you out of the hold 100% of the time, so it's nice to have a process you can fall back on. The more you know, the better prepared you are.

Not to mention, if the guy pulls away, he can make it awfully hard to land effective strikes.

[YeoDojo]

If you want to punch, eye gouge, hammer fist, palm strike, there is no point learning jiu jitsu or any technical way of doing things, just hope you dont meet a more powerful or skilled opponent. Also don't think that if the opponent can strike the person doing the technique can also do the same. A very naive comment.

[stackered]

This is a video teaching strictly for BJJ but much of it can be applied to a real situation or an MMA situation. I train in BJJ and learn many techniques that cannot be applied to real situations only to grappling, please understand this before criticizing.

[TriangleJiuJitsu]

ask patrick smith how well it works to strike your way out of a leg lock since he was a world class kickboxer that was tapped twice by footlocks

[elperico5]

hahahaha ghsotpaw can try walking inside the academy and asking to get a footlock slapped on him by rener..hahahaha lets see your stupid techs ghostpaw..hahahahahahahaha send a vid from the hospital for us to laugh

[5190]

lol

GhostPaw24 loves da krotty

[buffgeo]

lol , dork

[buffgeo]

woops, didnt mean to post that lol

[kommisar]

Fucking idiot. Fine, go ahead, punch, eye gouge, hammer fist, palm strike, etc. the guy. That's what the untrained "fighter" always does. The only thing that will happen is you'll hurt him a little right before he breaks your ankle, which hurts a HELL of a lot more. Seriously, have you ever even been in a footlock? They hurt! You obviously don't realize how easy it is to break someone's ankle in a footlock. Rener even said that in the video and you weren't even paying attention.

[toxictof]

dont try to teach the ignorant just let them learn the hard way

[kommisar]

Ignorance is one thing. Stubborness and WILLFUL ignorance is another. So, yeah, if they wanna do the wrong thing even though someone tells them how to do the right thing, fuck 'em. It's not my leg.

[yeee941]

Well said,same goes with Breaking an arm I belive,or Shoulder. GJJ is not that simple to get passed. It Takes 0.5 seconds to Pull the submission.

[kommisar]

Even more so, how the hell does the idiot expect to be able to eye gouge, etc. the person slapping the submission when they can't sit up? Many proper leg submissions involve trapping the leg so that the other person can't sit up. That's how the leverage is attained. I should have written that in my first comment but, oh, well. Shit happens.

[jacksonswastedlife]

The only way to apply the mythical eye gouge is to know the ankle lock counter and get out of the lock and into a position to 'eye gouge'.

The eye gouge is the last bastion of strikers who are either to scared or ignorant to learn to grapple.

[kommisar]

Agreed 100%. I'm sick of all these keyboard warriors saying that they can take out someone with 5 years of training under their belt and who is in much better shape than they are, by eye gouging them or such (as if the other guy wouldn't know how or think to do that). None of those "street" moves bypass the combat principles of balance, distance, timing, etc.

What's even funnier though are the people who say even stupider shit like how they would bite their way out of an armbar.

[jacksonswastedlife]

Amen! A bite or a gouge has it's place in the "street", but it doesn't trump the aforementioned principles.

Moreover, when gouging you are attacking grape sized targets with a finger or thumb that is on a bowling ball sized target that is in motion!

[kommisar]

Yes, it's always funny to hear these "street fighters" talk about how they would just poke some boxer in the eye and the match would be over. How do they expect to hit a guy's eye when they can't even connect with his jaw and, just as importantly, can't defend their own jaw? Fucking dumb. What's funny is these idiots never have any videos of themselves showing how they "train" these "street techniques" of theirs. They're all the same with their bullshit.

[MrMZaccone]

@kommisar Extremely well said and very logical. I'm assuming you're a student of GJJ.

[kommisar]

I do MMA and under no Gracie -- but, yes, BJJ is part of my training.

[MrMZaccone]

@kommisar My guess from your post is that whoever you're studying with has the right Idea. Keep it real!

[kommisar]

Actually I sort of figured all this stuff out on my own; didn't really need to be taught to me -- but I'm sure my instructors are aware of this. How could anyone not be? Just watch MMA or GJJ/BJJ in action to see that it dominates a "street fighter"s skills".

On top of that, my head instructor is quite fond of leg locks. ^_^

[MrMZaccone]

@kommisar I'm always shocked by how may people are unwilling to apply critical thinking and science to martial arts and tend to treat it as religious twaddle. Glad to see there's others out there who aren't like that. Peace.

[kommisar]

Great point! So many hardened believers do have a "religious" mentality when it comes to MA. That would explain why these assholes still think their silly dance techniques work better than MMA techniques in a fight, despite most of them never having ever used them.

[MrMZaccone]

@kommisar Even MMA guys are starting to get the same attitude though, They don't realize that gloves, a cage and time limits do indeed make a difference. I can't imagine busting up my bare hands on some guy's head when my elbows work so much better. I also can't imagine why I wouldn't head butt, heel kick to kidneys from the guard, strike to the back of the head, knee or kick a downed opponent, etc. Winning is winning. Still like my Jiu-jitsu the best, it's humane but ... whatever works.

[kommisar]

I don't think the more dedicated fighters are deluded like that. They know not ALL MMA techniques are necessarily practical, e.g. flying armbars.

[MrMZaccone]

@kommisar I'm sure the more practical one understand that, yeah.

[MrUzUmAkI21]

@kommisar hahahaha...You sure made your point to who ever it was trying to out talk you...Agreed.

[kommisar]

These douchebags don't have a clue. More importantly, they have no credibility or videos whatsoever to back up their pontificating bullshit.

[MrUzUmAkI21]

@kommisar Hahaha, Yeah I agree with you. If they can talk that talk, might as well walk the walk.

[LupusRexRgis]

@kommisar Don't bother, bro. Those jackasses have no clue, so they say whatever bullshit comes through their mind, in order to pretend to look tough.

For my experience I can tell "Krav-Magaish" people are as stubborn as a mule when it comes to ground techniques.

[kommisar]

The thing about KM cultists is they refuse to acknowledge the simple fact that when it comes time to actually fight during training, they don the gloves, head gear, mouthpiece, etc. like any other full-contact fighter. Oh, they also employ rules too, like no eye gouging.  KM cultists will of course claim they fight "to kill" and "only for self-defense" and then proceed to talk shit on other arts that do use rules, time limits and protective gear.

[130kali]

@kommisar

people are idiots. I train with people all the time that believe in the same thing. As soon as they start punching and giving up their base, I almost always go for the sweep and submit them. Do they ever learn? No, so don't waste your time explaining to dummies.

[kommisar]

What dummy are you referring to here?

[emanizzle]

yeah!!! first to comment and view!!

dude thats sick that they show their students doing it, they should do that more often..

i wanna see rener a ryron spar, thatll be a good vid..

[MirkoMMA]

Brock should watch this video.

[ojay67]

or you could just punch them on the face and get knocked out
