@To0t They are simply dangerous to a white belt because they don't exactly hurt, they just get super tight and then your joint explodes. That's why white belts don't learn them at my school, because they might not know when to tap. I know a guy with a permanent knee brace because someone did a heel hook and blew his ACL.

@firdaus125 Only if you're longing to fuck the guy you're rolling with.

@cloverbjj Leglocks are pretty scary because the amount of damage possible. I agree with the striking comment because if a guy grabs my foot I will try to kick his head off with the other one. I have practiced the techniques for escape, but I don't spar with heelhooks because it is so dangerous. Maybe guys who have been doing jujitsu regularly for 5 + years can do it safely, but I'd rather be safe than get surgery.

1. Anyone can get caught into leg locks so a lot of black belts do not like them.
2. Also to prevent injuries. A lot of people get hurt while doing leg locks, which is why white belts aren't allowed to do them until they learn control and an understanding of how easy it is to damage someone's ligaments from the locks.

does your dick hurt when you do jujitsu?

@cloverbjj i agree. i always find the 50/50 is a position that just kinda happens on scrambles... The leg lock is always there. in gi competition usually only straight ankle locks are legal is part of the reason instructors discourage leglocks... it's pretty hard to avoid throwing a heel hook on people because 50/50 is a very rare drill and a lot of people don't recognize it and plainly hand you their foot.

@To0t Leglocks, especially at a high level are low percentage attacks. Your instructor also discourages you from practicing leg locks due to the higher risk of injury due to reduced knee and foot sensitivity. Also if your school is mma or self defense oriented, common wisdom is that going for a leglock is far too big of a risk when striking is involved.

but how do you call when ryan from the stting guard gwet a hold of the oponent out of an armdrag take the back the from the back bend to a side and gogo for a leglock wich ends in a 50/50???

@To0t i agree, its like when judo and jiu jitsu seperated because fighting on the ground is cheap. upper body and lower body submission will more than likely end up seperating into different arts as well.
Yeh, jiujitsu is simple, right? That's why talking about the technique is bad? Thanks for sharing your game with us. The talk is good. Ryan speaks clearly and poignantly, maybe even better than most of my College proffs!

im a white belt who trained for about a year and we never really drill lower body attacks so these is like an unknown world to me its really really intriging. ryan hall is known for his inverted guard and deadly deadly leg attacks so dont say he got bad tutorials. this guy caught multiple black belts with it because they underestimate him.
another thing i noticed is that a lot of traditional bjjers find lower body attack cheap. why is that? its all part of the submission game isnt it? 5/5
