Seated single leg x, additionally (quite pretentiously and unhelpfully, IMO, until you occur to be coaching in Japan) referred to as ashi garami, is the entry stage leg lock place. Sometimes you may get there from a sweep, or probably off an escape from mount, however with a view to get the fundamentals, I have a tendency to show it from each folks sitting down, going through eachother. Get your legs on the within of theirs, then seize their ankle. Holster that to your hip, whereas concurrently kicking your similar aspect leg forwards. Put the foot of your leg on their hip. Along with your different hand, seize their knee (nonetheless on that aspect, so reverse to your hand), then fireplace your hips as near theirs as you may.
You wish to be turned in direction of the aspect the place you will have your foot on their hip. Along with your different knee, cowl that foot as a lot as your can. The foot ought to be curled round their hip bone, as tight to them as you may, toes going through outwards. Your similar aspect hand wraps up their leg, able to take considered one of a number of grips. The essential one is to encirlce their ankle with that arm, whereas your different hand maintains maintain of their knee. That is good for stopping their potential to extract that leg.
Alternatively, you may transfer right into a determine 4. The hand of the arm encircling their leg grabs the wrist of your different arm, greedy their shin together with your free hand. That is helpful for stopping them rotating. You can even transfer straight right into a (pretty weak) straight leglock from their, driving your hips into their leg. It is much less efficient, as your arm is flat, so the sharp radius is not urgent into the meat of their leg or their achilles (relying how excessive you will have your grip).
A 3rd grip choice is to maintain their similar aspect leg encircled together with your arm, then do the identical factor together with your arm on the opposite aspect. That is greatest used when they’re trying to face up. By controlling each ft, that makes standing up inconceivable: they’ve to interrupt your grips first.
I am going to additionally hold including in my security video, as I do not assume this will get emphasised when educating leglocks practically sufficient. Actually vital: for twisting leglocks (which may occur by accident, within the not unusual occasion that the individual being footlocked tries to explosively spin to free their leg), faucet to strain, to not ache.

Educating Notes: I might doubtlessly try to cram this into the preliminary drilling class, however I believe it is smart to separate it out. In the meanwhile, leglocks are nonetheless very new to most individuals on the membership, so taking it actually gradual and avoiding overwhelming is smart. In future, when leglocks are much less complicated for college kids, I might most likely add in another particulars. Particularly as a result of at this stage time might be eaten up a bit, as I nonetheless wish to add within the security chat. If folks bear in mind nothing else, I wish to make 10000% positive they’ve all skilled the knee sensation in order that they know to faucet to strain, to not ache.
