Great Shit got a few questions for the leg lock guru 1 thing I use when going for the inverted and a guy sits up on me is; taking my outside leg and placing it over his knee (the one Im trying to heel hook), this changes the angle of his leg and even sitting up I get the tap easy. Thoughts and opinions? and 2. I was curious, I have a buddy whos real great at leg locks and he tells me instead of rotating for heel hooks to lift your hips straight up as with arm bars, he says you get the same effect and take away their ability to do any rotational escapes to a degree, after all most of the direction we tend to turn in order to apply heel hooks is the same direction that they have to rotate in order to defend (they just have to move quicker.... opinion ... suggestions... also got a few other leg locks to run past you... i'll shoot you a personal vid... gotta get my brown to show em here ;(

1)If he's sitting up (in the 50/50) he is exposing himself to the inverted heel hook, and not a path I would recommend taking. Anytime you remove your outside leg (the one that's hiding my leg from being inverted heel hooked) it would expose you as well, just something to consider. I'd still like to see what your specifically doing with your leg via video.

2)Couple of key points to remember, when I'm doing this series I am countering his 50/50 attacks,if he spins out of a heel hook hes doing my job for me, I rarely if ever attack with 50/50 unless its during a scramble. I prefer the inside leg attack (Clamp,Inside Wedge, Knee Knot) and I'm not worried about them spinning out especially from the knee knot as it offers an incredible amount of control of their hips. Lifting the hip could create enough space to allow them to switch the leg and remove it from my hip (which is were I want it) which is why I prefer the squeeze and core rotation (notice its a very small rotation).
