[@UNITEWEMUST]

Dean i thank you for thoose techniques and for handling shit talkers with such class , i wish some day my jiu jitsu level will allow me to travel and roll with guys like you. thanks for beign so good to the sport.

[@deanlister]

looking forward to meeting you and training one day hopefully

[@williamw3501]

Every time I watch his stuff my leg locks get better and better.

[@GeorgeOu]

Man, that hand position advice is golden! No wonder I wasn't getting anything having my hands down below my diaphragm.

[@christianthames2302]

George Ou Same here! Can't wait to try it

[@aqdjbcr]

Yes, hands high is key. Gotta kill the space before you start squeezing. Just like with chokes

[@oraclebjj]

Love the details.

[@Rawa29]

Very nice. Will try this tomorrow.

[@AskesisGrappling]

Great advice making things clear to understand and entertaining also! I'm playing around with this move at the moment as I'm enjoying it and its one of those moves probably underutilised at white belt even though its technically legal in IBJJF. Looking forward to working it tonight in class.

[@ciaranoregan8055]

Great instructional

[@listerdean2332]

yes I hope to come again in frebruary

[@BeardedGrappler]

What worked for me was doing the sub with the leg over the leg I'm subbing. Kind of in 50-50 but with the other foot tucked higher up between my calf and the opponents thigh. ..but I will try this out! I really like his style of teaching!

[@face.]

cool advice on the other foot. never knew that b4.

[@listerdean2332]

yes you are 100% correct... Realize though that they will only achieve a mere portion of what they are capable, if they choose to only employ leglocks... It is really important to be well rounded... Keep up the hard training and see you one day on the championship podem :)

[@usabox]

thank you

[@MotivatedpeopleCTV]

game changer

[@Crystals10000]

fascinating

[@dennisx]

awesome

[@tranlangamingo5409]

He's arms is a mix between Popeye's and wreck it Ralph's arms

[@bornfedslaughter]

Oh wow, Hi dean.. I think you're awesome. Thanks for the advice! No, I just don't like people who only attacks your legs as a crutch because they can't do anything else. Yeah, lower half of the body seems important too.. Thank you!

[@BrubMan]

when was this filmd, lister looks huge in this.

[@bananapatch9118]

As a white belt I also need to see the approach….how are you getting to that spot where you are sitting with one of his legs in between yours ? Thx

[@listerdean2332]

yes I understand... I have 2 points; I am not only a leg lock guy, I have won many world championships with armlocks, triangle chokes and guillotines, If you don't believe me, look at my submission record..if you hate rolling with "leg lock" guys, in my opinion you really should train with them a lot more to strengthen your style... I doubt you would want to be saved by rules due to your lack of defensive ability... If you are a true grappler and hate leglocks, best to study to avoid them :)

[@bornfedslaughter]

Thank you Sir. (If you are the real Dean Lister)

[@jonmoris9354]

Can i ask does that come on like a calf crusher rather than ankle lock

[@grapplersparadise]

it was filmed in april 2013

[@TheSysifos]

Hi Mr.Lister, i was wondering if you were ever going to head back to Denmark again. I could not come to your last seminar but i would be very happy to see you over here again, as i know there are many other Bjj guys over here who would to :)

[@deanlister]

i come back often, usually to Odense and/or Copenhagen

[@broadcastyourwife]

reppin LSF with 2nd base!

[@PTGRIOJJ]

Dean Good point Pete The Greek

[@koslim]

I get this position and they always push my leg on the floor and sit on it or they stand up.. What to do?

[@koslim]

@Silent Psykosis wow man.. Thx for getting into all this trouble explaining everything.. Much appreciated.. I will try these options too.. P. S what does pummel mean? (english is not my first language) Thx again

[@Mickeywonderwall]

it's already matched

[@kanguesso]

Someone needs to book a match BJJ super fight between Dean Lister and Rousimar Palhares, talk about a leg lock party fest!

[@rabijassi2421]

fuck man how many photos does that guy nee to take, 1 million and probably only has one decent shot.

[@deanlister]

i'm built like a neanderthal, so its hard to get a decent photo of me hehe ;)

[@stacicannella5383]

...Yea that his next fight. Lister vs palhares

[@fightkodotcom]

I wish!

[@ramonquiroz7153]

*****

[@deadarmd]

I hope there are no guys there who didn't listen to "be careful"

[@wallisphoto]

That photographer is a little over zealous

[@vincentscheiss]

is lister a heavy weight, he looks like hulk..

[@deanlister]

wolverine ;)

[@spartanlukas]

I think if that guy slapped his leg hard one more time he was going to apply the ankle lock for real.

[@bornfedslaughter]

i hate when leg lock only dudes roll with you..

[@deanlister]

hide your feet, then they won't have a good leg lock game, if they don't have a passing game, you will sweep them.. use butterfly guard

[@starboy2013]

the devil is in the details....

[@bornfedslaughter]

Dean kind of looks like a big Joe Rogan.

[@dafullclip]

Too bad it didn't help his career!

[@eduardotoledo2744]

***** ???

[@listerdean2332]

+dafullclip maybe if you come to San Diego and train with me, i could help your career.... Let me know if you are coming to San Diego ever, you will be my guest and if you have an open mind, i could help you with your skills.
