MTS episode 88 “Leg Locks”
Hello brothers and sisters I hope all is beautiful 🙂
Mastering The System is the online instructional series of the unorthodox nogi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu style, “10th Planet Jiu Jitsu” filmed at 10p Headquarters in downtown Los Angeles. Episode 88 is all about getting heavy with leg locks, extra heavy. Since day 1 of the association, leg locks have always been part of the system, but 10p overall as a system, hasn’t been “heavy” on them, and I personally wasn’t going to them as my first option unless you’re talking about leg compressions, like the calf crank from the truck and the vaporizer. However I always had heel hook fiends as students even as far back as 2003, when 10p was born. Gerald Strebendt and Shigeki Matsuda, both 10p black belts, have always been into leg locks, heavily. But I personally didn’t want to dive in 100% back then, I wanted to set a good upper body clinching example for my Mma students, so I stayed away from heel hooks myself. I felt they were too dangerous in MMA to be the first option. But now, with the rise of the subonly game, I am extremely motivated to get heel hook heavy for myself personally and for the entire 10p association as well. 10th Planet soldiers Denny Prokopos, Chris Herzog, Victor Webster, Eric Ramey, Scott Ross and Nathan Orchard have all been instrumental in the evolution of my leg lock game especially Orchard who finally fully opened my eyes about 10 months ago. Since then I have been studying the leg game like a medical student and passing on all the knowledge to my students at Hq. Now anyone preparing to go against a 10th Planet fighter will not only have to break down the defense to the rubber guard, the twister, and the lockdown game, but now they will also have to prepare themselves for an assault on their legs a well. Thank you for the support and enjoy the episode! -Eddie 🙂
