Not bad for warm ups right Zog? :-)
Yes sir! I've actually recieved some e-mails and messages about what I thought of the leg locks in the 10p warm ups. So I'll share my thoughts here as I'm sure it'll come up again.
I believe its extremely important to have new and experienced student be exposed to leg locks early on, both attacks & defense. All the ones on the warms ups are sound, if I had an issue with them I would have voiced it. I do teach attacking to the outside clamp (from the hailmary series), wedge, etc. I don't just teach reaping to the inside controls (clamp, wedge, knee knot, splits), they just happen to be the ones I prefer. I teach the defenses to all leg locks and positions not just the dead zones I use. I want to expose my students to those they are most likey to be to encounter in competiton and mma, the warm ups are pefect for this.
I'm still working on the Leg Lock warm ups. I'm in the chipping away process currently. I want to incorporate attacks and defenses into the same short (this is the hard part for me) little flows, just like the current warm ups.
I'm currently working on 2 different set, those that include 1)attacks & transitional prevention (stuffing them before they get to a leg lock dead zone) and 2)attacks & escapes (escapes once you are caught in a leg lock dead zone). Each set will have about 3 different flows. Trying to keep them short and sweet is my biggest foe currently.

I'm shooting to have them done right after the new year. Soon as Eddie oks them, I make an instructional on all the details of those that'll make the warm ups.
