"Craig's leg lock game is phenomenal". Yes, we know;)

[@MrStrikeforce1987]

This is great stuff. I still feel your seminar when you came to Perth was one of the best I have been to!

[@johnx5k]

Beautiful!!!!!!

[@rafaelcampos3877]

Great stuff, could you do the defense video for this entry?

[@alintampa]

Tried this before and had people landing on my ankle. Watched this videa and saw that you are taking them down not towards their back(like i did) but to the side. Thanks

[@Vscustomprinting]

Keenan: "he heel hooked me in 5 minutes" :^)

[@Marcnshae2011]

You are the man, Lachlan! Will you be competing in ADCC this year?

[@MrSaurus]

He will be I believe

[@vw5233]

5:00 his right leg hook allows him to pass underneath him

[@yukanglee2369]

Just out of curiosity, is the entry IBJJF legal (right before the heel hook)?

[@antonstoyanov9665]

No because of the jnee reap

[@EagleTrue]

It is legal in no gi brown and black belt. Even heel hook are legal

[@Sheffax]

Yes the entry is legal at all levels because there is no reap. There would only be a reap if their foot was on the opposite side of your body from the triangle

[@Remotecontrol1990]

By chance is this shown on Leg Attacks Down under?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Remotecontrol1990 no, but the dvd is by far the best I’ve seen as a tutorial for bjj.

[@lucasdevaldivia7938]

rD > far cX - 5:20 , 5:50

[@k.padraigokane1472]

Lachlan, can this work the same with the Gi?

[@AbsoluteMMAStKilda]

Yes it can!

[@GeorgeOu]

It works but you have two major issues. If you're wearing a Gi you are likely to be under IBJJF rules which effectively make leg attacks legal in theory but mostly ineffective because most leg control positions are illegal. The other issue is that the Gi makes it easier to defend against leg attacks because you can grip the sleeve of the person trying to leg lock you.

[@mrtjcombo7]

Is the saddle position legal at ibjjf rules?

[@ajayshah5456]

Would be considered reaping.

[@badatgaems]

I don't think the saddle is reaping if your entire body is on the outside and you don't have the foot locked up in a spot like the straight ankle (i.e. about to turn to a kneebar or doing a backstep). If your body was on the inside of the leg that you wrap up or you're on the outside with the near side leg wrapped up, I think that would be reaping. The rule is lame as shit and super unclear.

[@yc2560]

If you read the IBJJF's Rules Book carefully, you'll see that the saddle does not fit the definition of reaping the knee, because your thigh is not under the leg that's in danger of being reaped. Problem is, that many IBJJF refs will still DQ you. I've asked different official IBJJF refs and some consider it reaping the knee, some don't. So bottom line is: Yes, it's legal, but you should'nt risk doing it.

[@AbsoluteMMAStKilda]

It depends how you enter into the saddle. For example the first move I show here would be illegal as my leg crosses the knee line to enter. However the 2nd move I show would be legal (assuming you don't heel hook) its my other leg looping behind to get to that position.

[@Algebrodadio]

The saddle is not reaping. If it was, then you would get DQ'd everytime you did a back step pass.

[@davinhodavinho1671]

Question- do u worry about the estima lock on the foot blocking the hip?

[@brandonswan9247]

When i leave my non hooking leg in the hip I get toe held all day. Firas zahabi discussed this concern in his reverse de la Riva lockdown video.

[@davinhodavinho1671]

Awesome! Thanks so much.

[@davinhodavinho1671]

Can you post or send me a link to the vid? I’ve found 1 that only deals a little bit with this

[@Souljacker7]

make those people shut up!

[@perfectoj7775]

Jesus Christ .. who’s smart idea was it to do break falls next to the guy teaching technique.. 😂😂

[@user-rq8hh7ge2t]

Переводите это на русский язык

[@bleezy6]

Yeeeaaahhh if those white belts in the back could stop doing break falls, that'd be great.

[@user-rq8hh7ge2t]

Translate this into Russian I am learning from your video lessons please
