No. You can "stretch the groin/crotch" even at white belt. There is one "observation" as the rulebook puts it: there is a moment that you could turn the lockdown into a "leg reap" and for that you'll be penalized. Penalty rules regarding leg reaps have been softened so it will no longer be an automatic DQ. Go for it.
EC, banana splits, and crotch rippers are legal. Go for it.
Is this what happens if you are trying to do the EC but you are too far down on the leg, like below the knee?Quote:

The other is you stretch them out and create a "violin" like lock on their leg that's on your shoulder. It's very blurry and will be referee dependent, although most of them know now what the electric chair submission is and the sweep. (Thanks to M3 and Eddie.)
edit: should be said that most people familiar with the EC don't get "trapped" in the knee locks. It's a panic thing. More like a "check" move than a "checkmate." They can escape it, they just don't see it.
After catching most of my fellow white belt brothers I became Mr. Illegal over night.
They have this mentality that white belt shouldn't do leg or would not attack the leg.
Most of my favorite go to moves(Twister,vaporizer, EC, toe hold) are illegal in IBJJF I decided not to compete in their Rule till I go purple belt.
Till then I will just train hard to compete on local submission only comp.
There is an AGF tournament in my city tomorrow. All leg attacks are legal in whitebelt nogi except heelhook.Quote:
