No prob Jonathan. Go for it. Ever since I got injured by leg locks I have been studying them, they have become my hidden passion. Once you understand them they are not that scary.
The one thing to know to avoid injury is that you will not feel pain with most of them until a ligament or cartilage tears. You just feel pressure and think 'I can get out of this' and then RIIPPP. Cartilage does not have nerves in it and ligaments very few, that's why you do not feel pain until they break. Tendons on the other hand do have nerves in them. That why anything where there is pressure on your Achilles hurts so you can tap before there is damage that requires surgery.
When I was able to train we would go for the position but not try to submit, especially with heel hooks. Touch and go, that's it.
