Bas Rutten Inverted Heel Hook

Bas Rutten demonstrates how to do an inverted heel hook.

I train BJJ and this is a real submission. It hurts immediately. No other leg lock creates the same kind of torque that a heelhook does. The hook immediately puts pressure on your knee and the more you twist the more painful it gets.

Kneebars hurt as well, but not until they are fully extended and sometimes people don't even feel kneebars until their knee is about to be broken, "no pain, just snap" is a common expression used in relation to kneebars.

Toeholds and straight ankle locks hurt as well, but the heelhook is by far the most dangerous.

If you want to see this being used in a fight please look for Anderson Silva vs. Ryo Chonan and/or Masakazu Imanari vs. Jorge Gurgel. (Jorge ends up having to have extensive re-constructive surgery on his knee, this was the injury he was complaining about on The Ultimate Fighter reality series.)

I hope you guys enjoy my vids!

as much as bas rutten is an awesome dude i wouldnt count on his ability as a grappler top take instructions from him he says alot of stuff that i dont agree with such as saying Side Control is more effective then mount (yeah right) and also saying that Achilles Locks is just a pain thing it doesnt do any damage ok bas sure whatever you say but ive seen guys get their tendons and shins snapped in half with achilles locks

@kilobravo66 have one or both of your legs what?

[robertgaudlitz]

@jamesdin2 i can do even WORSE :D and i am watching you right now...

[kilobravo66]

this is my signature move in competition, but I make sure I have one or both of my legs (depending upon the situation) to keep my opponent from rolling rolling and rolling until he's off the mat.

Bas' demonstration is only effective if your opponent is not versed in leg locks.

@wadeuss That's why white belts don't usually do leg locks.  But in any case if I'm competing it's the other guys job to tap, not my job to control the pressure of my leg locks.
