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.

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!

[kommisar]

What dummy are you referring to here?

@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.

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 :)

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.

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

[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 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.
