1. Entries from half guard. So far I've only managed to find one good entry from half guard to leg locking. The leg that acts as knee shield comes as a butterfly hook while the other leg gets as deep as possible beneath the opponent and I bump him up with the bottom leg and butterfly him with the other then getting into ashi. Does anyone have other good entries from half guard?
2. Digging for the footlock in 4-11. When I get to 4-11 if for some reason I want to get the footlock, I have a very hard time digging my arm around that foot.
3. Escaping the reaper. Whenever I move the leg from 4-11 across the other side and move to the reaper, the opponent can rotate out of it and escape. 4-11 is much better control-wise for me. Any ideas?
4. Ashi garami pushing escape. I'm recently having issues with this small but strong guy. Whenever I go for ashi, he pushes me in the a** with the other leg and manages to pull his leg out eventually. Him having really small legs is making this even harder for me.
I also wanted to ask you guys, what are your most high percentage entries to leg locks? Cheers.
