who was the DQ? the D'Arce was mr Jeff Glover!
Jeff Munson Was DQed against Xandre R. in the absolute. Don't know why
Of the 17 leg locks most of them were heel hooks. I know there's been many debates on here about heel hooks and when to learn them and all that. If you have a qualified instructor and your not a tool. Start working them into your game or your going to be left behind!!!!! Better go to a Herzog seminar.
A few people will probably need surgery like David Avellan who got his knee torn out by Rossimar.
Maybe we should have a whole week where we bring in one of the top leg lock instructors in the country to teach us?
Maybe we could begin it on Nov 13th at 10th Planet Decatur?

just maybe..
Man, Jeff Monson had a shitty weekend. I don't think I'll be a fan after that.
And the victims would rather spazz randomly rather than just giving up and asking how to get out of an attack. I don't even apply heel hooks in class but sometimes guys will worry me when they contort their knee into weird angles to try and force a turn out for an escape from something as simple as a leg lock.
When I compare the spastic spinning heel hook defense of Gurgel or Mike Brown (both versus Imanari) to the calm and controlled heel hook defense of Robson Moura against Ryan Hall, you can see how both Gurgel and Brown were injured.
does anyone know witch arm lock Antonio Peinado pulled on Kamil Uminske? the angle on the stream is bad and i dont have any idea what it could be.
Escaping heel hooks, especially the inverted heel hook is very dangerous even when you know what to do. If you are in a leg control position where your opponent can do a heel hook to you then you already made the mistake. Good awareness will keep you from being in the position to be heel hooked in the first place. And if your opponent has the heel locked up or the toe hold on then it's better to tap than risk a ligament tear... unless you're a pro mma fighter and you are getting paid tens of thousands of dollars. Just my opinion.
You know you need leg lock defense when you and your friends are white belts, and then one of your buddies watches Erik Paulson Killer Leg locks 1 then the next day submits you 6 times in a row with achilles/straight ankle locks. Learning the defenses you cant help but to learn the offense.
Just learning some leglock basics has helped my defense a ton. The only problem is most of the tournaments around here don't allow reaping the knee and that's how I finish more times than not. I cannot wait until the Herzog seminar to take it to another level.
Yeah, i've also put time into the old school style of ankle lock where you just pinch your knees around their leg and fall over onto their free leg. Way less control and easy to counter but I added that Bill Cooper leg lock pass (from the Rolled Up episode) and now I can get an easy pass if they engage me with a proper ankle lock defense (the boot while pulling your head) while I'm setting up my grips for the lock.
It was like Galvao said in his interview about Palhares. "He is very dangerous in that position, but I knew I had better jiu-jitsu". Trusting in his technique was what allowed him to defend all Palhares' attacks where EVERYONE else has basically wilted. He was cool as a cucumber in all the leg entanglements and dominated the rest of the match.
Good point
Another great point
True. The whole weekend everyone was playing open guard. So, like Dean Lister said(Who won the gold in his weight class all by heel hook), he goes for whatever's available, but guys always seem to put their legs out there so that's what he gets a lot.
Leglocks aren't necessarily inherently dangerous, but they do come with an added set of risks... Seems to me that it's about awareness of what your opponent is doing, and also how aggressively he/she is applying the technique. The injuries that I've seen in competition from leglocks are almost 100% from one guy not knowing what the other is doing, and then that guy going full blast on the sub.
I think the pain associated with the injuries doesn't always match the repercussion of said injuries, either, although I have had times where I was screaming like a madman after blowing out my knee... I got my knee smashed in a judo tournament about a month ago, and the pain was nauseating.
