That's the best entry for sure. It's so readily available. People have no idea they're putting their foot in danger of being snapped off.Quote:

Right now it's still legal. Won't stay that way for long, I don't think.
I could but wrong, but I thought I just read it falls under the twisting lock rules and not allowed until Brown now, but I might be wrong
this article shows that victor estima cleared it with the head IBJJF referee, Alvaro Mansur: http://www.bjjee.com/bjj-news/the-in...r-ibjjf-rules/
Very nice, now give us all your wrist lock secrets.
I wonder if you could use the same idea to come up with a counter to the Single X position.....
I just watched Victor's instructional on the Estima lock and it's different to what Brandon is showing because it doesn't pin the toes. I think Sock lock is a toe hold, so it's brown belt level in ibjjf...?Quote:

BMac's sock lock looks like a straight footlock to me. Toe holds rotate the ankle. Straight foot locks flex the ankle straight back. Looks legal to me.
