lower body position to upper body position transitions.

[Isaac Atley]

Bit of a mouthful but Ive been working on my lower body attacks, ie leglocks and so on but im wondering if people have any transitions from leglocks to something like back mount of whatever. it seems to me that if i dont get a leglock i scramble to the top but its not a proper move or something.

any help would be appreciated.

I would look into Zog's stuff...he studied Sambo and has an awesome grasp of leglocks. Sticky: MTS Technique Guide:ZogiPedia

If you know leg drag> hip coil ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CkUExk3pSwthen )you can use that as a path to the back if hip locks are banned in your school or illegal in comp. What I do is, before I apply the submission, I kind of get off my elbow to give them space to follow the pressure of the hip coil. That forces them to go belly down, and from that position you have an easy truck entry or the back. I don't know if that's bad fundamentals, but it's worked for me. I mean, if you have the hip coil, I guess it's not necessary to use my method. I just kinda messed with it out of curiosity.

By the way, rewatching that episode of TWIR was refreshing. Great episode.

I also do this crazy looking thing from the leg drag as well. Shouts out to the boogeyman.
