The Best Jiu-Jitsu Leg-lock Ever... This Toe-Hold / Ankle Lock Set-Up Wins Fights Instantly

[@deathdrill72]

Very thorough explanation of the technique. I appreciate the humor, keeps my interest.

[@FightSmartTrav]

It's my patented formula of MMA and non-sense... served me well so far! Thanks man.

[@fergxson1650]

Is this legal in BJJ? I mean the takedown and the lock.

[@stormytrails]

I LOVE THIS SITE!! This is usable stuff! Even for gnarly old ladies!! I LOVE THE BITS OF HUMOR! Trav? I am giving you virtual non harmful huggs!!

[@chapparo7582]

I've known about this technique for around 20 years, but I alwAys use it on the shoulder ans avoided the foot because I never knew which foot to attack when in position. The pointer finger on pinky toe makes it impossible to apply backwards. Good stuff I appreciate it

[@arsonest1239]

I just wanna let you know that the videos you put up here helped me put down some people when I train...salute.

[@chavitoTKD]

Hey, dude I´m an ITF Taekwon Do black belt I Dan and find your videos really usefull and very well explained too. Also, you make me laugh a lot. Thanks for your work, man. Already subsribed to your channel and bookmarked your website. Keep up the good work, you guys are awesome. (sorry for my poor English, I´m from Argentina and it´s been a while since I finished my English lessons)

[@restinburk1945]

You rock bro. Great video. It doesn't matter if they have shoes on or not. You'd just about rip their whole foot off with that kind of pressure. Well done.

[@dougadams3957]

Love the videos and I can watch them even before my ADD meds kick in!!! Trust me that is a compliment!!!

[@OToNt]

There is Some person somewhere in the world that has seen this video and beat the mess out of someone in self defense all thanks to this god among men. keep up the good work bro

[@raya5090]

perfect mix of great moves and humour. this guy is funny as hell... not to say hell is funny, I mean hell is no laughing matter, it's hot down there... not because I said hot means I'm saying the guy is hot cause I'm a guy and I don't play that way... lol get it? it's funny.

[@mrbest1981]

Sounds like he's giving banging lessons....😂

[@toyama3307]

OH MY GOD LMAO XD

[@h-hizzle2380]

Oh my god STOPP

[@762girl]

Thank you so much Trav! You are breaking the moves down to the critical points - a lot of books show the beginning, the end and now much explanation. I realize that's the weakness of how-to books. I remember when I was little and saw my first karate book and it had footprints showing all the places you had to be but of course it's like trying to learn how to dance with no instruction and hopping onto footprints which would make a pretty funny video. This is the first time I felt like I understand the basics of this hold (as well as the clinch, locking it in and moving the other guy. Fantastic. p.s. Yes - I have personal experience with some not so nice events.

[@deepsquat600]

love your sense of humor ..nice teaching method

[@jeffsolin162]

You're awesome. But has anyone ever told you you sound like Joe Swanson from Family Guy?

[@gizmogoose.2486]

Travis will have a career far beyond his fighting days... ...he's the Bob Uecker of MMA.

[@justdaniel3046]

Trav you should post one of yours fights! You seem to be a good marital artists and id like to see you in action vs another trained fighter! If you have any videos please share at least one! Love the website! Keep up the work good work man!

[@peculiarlittleman5303]

I've looked for this for a long time. Used to make some astonished people tap. Thank you!

[@matthewgilliam8984]

Damn that's nasty! I've used this before just messing around with friends, that's a good lock to learn for fighters of any size lol.

[@antion2]

Trav since you got quite a few comments about shoes could you possibly do an update video showing adjustments for different kinds of shoes from tennis shoes, street shoes and heavy duty high top boots? Thanks. Great Channel.

[@hassyddevil]

your videos are perfect blend of humour and teaching

[@samsonsamson16]

the world needs such good man like you, thank you for unselfish teaching about fight, i've been bullied and puched many times, this is the right time to defend myself from demons, HIGHLY APPRECIATED BRO

[@FightSmartTrav]

Well they can't punch you without feet... unless you're really really slow.

[@samsonsamson16]

dont get tired teaching guys like me, more power bro

[@ernietorres2940]

And the hits just keep on comin'. Good stuff man. Thanks for another great video.

[@war_against_evil]

Sir can you kindly start boxing series? Im getting ready for professional boxing

[@shengliu8640]

Really good video! Like ur teaching style, funny and clear.

[@steve3416]

Very nice Trav. I appreciate your time making these videos and being so detailed. Keep them coming.

[@genin69]

This has always been favorite ankle lock, it also works great on the outside reverse

[@jeffrobinson7049]

Good video Trav!!! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@HealthyMBS1]

Great video! Might want to add that people train this slower with a partner in the beginning. Your partner being locked up has to roll with that fast, hard hip turn that turns them over or an ankle or knee could get twisted without the toe pressure even being applied.

[@whereismyimagination]

Damn, Trav! You're the most awesome and charismatic coach in the whole world! Not to mention your great explanations. Keep up this outstanding work!

[@joshuafreeman9083]

fight smart Trav Awesome, your teaching style reminds me of Shonie Carter, love it.

[@dylanhoneycutt1473]

I don't watch many of your videos but I most subscribed cuz your funny lol and you know what your talking about

[@TanukiGaming]

I'm on week 5 I think. Where you go over building explosiveness with shooting and take-downs. How exciting. :)

[@PedroAle9]

Your videos are amazing, you have to load more videoos!!

[@isaiahgalindo9309]

Thxs man every time I get in a fight I used every move I seen in all ur vid they don't even see it coming

[@yangong1401]

This asshole Seth in my class has been picking on me for weeks now so I broke his foot with this technique. Great vid 10/10

[@stardeastroyer]

+Yang Ong Who won?

[@stardeastroyer]

***** Dang, I guess so.

[@jamester000]

@yang ong you are full of shit u think you are cool for breaking someones foot? you arent, and you didnt even do that cuz youre just a poser bitch

[@brandanray200]

Yes thank you for the very detailed explanation great video

[@hradford55]

Thanks Trav, another great lesson.

[@travfromfightsmart2935]

Any time Hugh!

[@TheJdaldridge]

This video wins! Thanks for creating and sharing.

[@adolman13n]

Really great explanations duuuuuuude!

[@Noorlatgamer]

Great video. Thanks.

[@baileawilliams5936]

can your do a tutorial about dodging body punches or if they dodge your punch

[@justdaniel3046]

Hey Trav do you have any videos of you in a fight? I would like too see one of your fights!

[@joshuafernandez271]

Definitely gonna teach this next week at the dojo. Don't mind if I snatch your technique braw.

[@ShalomYal]

first the nail thing worked for me several times - it exposed my sensitive side secondly me and my bro's are going to drill this tonight Thanks

[@ismaelisla2255]

Is this technique posible with trainers ? Greetings form Argentina.

[@erickderozen9646]

FightSmartTrav why haven't you been making videos 😞😞

[@khemraad9896]

Your tips got me out a altercation.. The guy that I didn't want to fight ended up tapping out once I put him in the triangle lock

[@tkdnwwis]

Great video, thanks for the tips, umm do I have to make the "whoosh" noise on the take down etc. :-)

[@BassForever44]

My background is in karate and am just starting to do sparring in the dojo, its not MMA though. My question is: is it worth to buy one of the paid programs for applying them in kumite?, I mean, I do know that ground and pound and jiu jitsu style stuff is not allowed therefore useless for my purposes, but I mean in terms of speed enhancement techniques, exercises, defense strategies, and of course body conditioning... what do you think? has anybody of you bought any of his programs? Thanks

[@Semiotichazey]

Easily my favorite martial arts channel. Very practical moves, all taught by Seth Rogan.

[@khemraad9896]

I'm just now learning MMA so I'm a beginner of course but my question is what do you think of Brazilian Ju jitsu?

[@proskater2013]

Trav you makes everything look so easy

[@coleburns5497]

Which martial arts have been proven for combat? Does Kua kuilua work?

[@terrytiley343]

A great technique done with a bit of humour great video.🤓

[@MichaelMyers9092_]

These moves are awesome I've done them in street fights and after the club out in the parking lot and they work they don't see these moves coming.

[@Xxchico213]

And what happened ? Did there foot break or what lol

[@MichaelMyers9092_]

Danny Reed yeah im serious you should try it too

[@Xxchico213]

+Evan Faraday I actually will now ! Good looking out

[@JTTheLion]

I was wondering if you do any classes, and if you do, then where ?

[@kurtsandoval7727]

Giving like all your videos👍 You are Amazing

[@barrowboy2002]

[@TheBlackHat23]

Do more videos!

[@chasestewy2566]

where are you located? I want lessons from you

[@kallispencer1695]

Hey Trav love your videos! They get the point across and always make me laugh too! have you got any tips for girls fighting in particular? I know we can play on the opponent thinking we'd be vulnerable but is there anything else?cheers :)

[@SwedishPro123]

Nice video!

[@Sol-01]

Trav what martial arts do u do

[@realexc89]

awesome post videos often please!!

[@FightSmartTrav]

I'll try to do better, but you should probably go to my website and subscribe.

[@napptyme8961]

Nice info and video👍👍 I just think that with my luck, I would get kicked in the face. I need practice!

[@masonmonhollen5498]

trav my friend thinks wrestling is aggressive hugging i tried to explain but it doesent work please make a vid about the importance of it in a fight

[@Rambo17401]

You should teach some Muay Thai elbows I think it would help a lot of people on fights

[@maanno1]

Awesome man

[@jaouarami5146]

Goood video travis you are making good image when you make this videos in order to help peaple ,God bless you, if i was in your country i would have ask you to train with you

[@user-pw4dq3ms6d]

Hey Trav,so I live out here in PA and I've been wondering if you'd train me? I've taught myself a lot over the years but there's all ways much more to learn,to show I'm dedicated I will watch your videos and upload ones of my own using your techniques so you can decide if it would be worth it Obviously I'd pay you lol

[@FR-ty5vn]

Nice 👍🏼 instructional & pretty funny. I’ve been working on the toe hold. 2 questions: 1) for training purposes, not much chance you’ll tear your training partner’s knee once you have the figure 4 locked and yank him onto his stomach; 2) I get a straight ankle lock tap from takedown from time to time, I don’t go for heel hooks off failed straight ankle locks because can tear something easily, is going from failed ankle lock to toe hold a good transition?

[@quasar4601]

i dont know but Toe holds are far more dangerous than ankle locks. I would only use them on spazzy white belts who are trying to kill you. I would never use them on a normal person or blue belt or higher. I am just watching videos and putting together the move. Many videos say to turn the heel to your body as in a spinning motion as the toes go down It is pretty damn cool to control someone like that lol. You feel like a god lol. I am pretty new to grappling

[@quasar4601]

Keep it your body, too !!!

[@FR-ty5vn]

David I’ve been at it for a few years now (blue belt) - you’re normally not supposed to apply toe holds to white belts - if you do leg locks on spazzes, they’re going to get seriously injured.

[@quasar4601]

But I am a white belt lol I do no gi so we have no belts but my skill level is still White. Would this be ok as some white belts would be fun to try on. Also a giant dude tried to do it on me last week but had the wrong grip

[@FR-ty5vn]

David just be careful - you don’t want you or your buddies walking with a limp for life. 😆🤔

[@Goated_Arab]

+FightSmartTrav is that a kind of training of some thing

[@jacielito]

Good info

[@mathewh9233]

can this be applied if you were in someone's guard with the same impact?

[@DarthJacobi]

Yes, but he does his videos from the view point of a street fight usually, with that being said, he'll tell you and so will a lot of high level guys, if you take someone down, you don't wanna go down with them. With no rules, they'll just try something like gouging your eyes out etc.

[@mrbest1981]

Nice vid...basic jiu-jitsu for the most part, a leg kamura may work or may not work depending on your opponent's skill level. My experience though is most of the leg locks won't really work in those particular stand up situations, usually if you catch their foot, your opponent will drop into guard immediately, again it would depend on the opponents skill level in Jiu-jitsu, but it's intuitive to drop to guard when you get caught up in Jiu-jitsu, which will make that move obsolete, if I happen to catch a roundhouse, a kamura to their knee would be more of a fancy move that will only work sometimes, mostly against inexperienced guys. My go to move for countering a roundhouse is an immediate turning side kick right to the gut, or a spinning heel kick to the opposite side of the head. There are so many moves, and so many different ways to defending it but I find that those last two kicks are the most natural for the roundhouse counter. To each their own. I loved the video...just giving a different perspective. Thanks 😃

[@quasar4601]

Submissions dont seem to work standing up very well. You need the ground to get the right base and force

[@mr.maskmaker6609]

what is they have boots on?

[@midnightgamer5671]

Hey trav I've subscribed to your channel registered to your website and I just wanna say, NICE WORK

[@FightSmartTrav]

Thanks man... very much appreciated.

[@midnightgamer5671]

With that said I would love it if you would show us how to make someone submit in less than 5 seconds

[@OVP1175]

I have a "QUESTION" when im practicing my punches and im punching the air as a warm up. When i punch strong and fast a bit consecutively. I can feel the blood in my arms rushing to the point where its like a blood cramp I guess. Goes away after ten to fifteen sec. Does anyone else feel this? FYI does not happen when I make contact with bags or people. Also I have thick veins if that has anything to do with it?

[@redman0901]

in professional MMA, seems like a good move, street fighting you'd have to be really fast I would think, otherwise when you square the guy up you're putting your junk in arms reach to be tagged a few times. thoughts?

[@TheKibeer]

Does it work as well on people with boots? Or should you stick to beaches and 3rd world countries?

[@tannerdimmitt6491]

+Rvqsx no you could use it on people with shoes on

[@elijahanderson7470]

So once Youve got the person in the hold we know what to do. But how to we get there leg up in the air in the first place to get them on the ground and in a hold?

[@aditya_s95]

By using a single leg, or a double leg takedown?

[@jtg753]

Lovin' that humor.

[@goemon9378]

what if you do it on miyao

[@mayatiita1]

Cool video :-) Thanks

[@TheBryeCooper]

HAHAHA! Love the videos! Excellent techs and entertainment! Cheers!

[@gabrielcajigas698]

Something clever um... amm... I LOVE YOU!

[@MyCesarman]

I have a question Im actually a really good fighter. I practice every day. But when I get in altercation for some reason I get really scared and not angry. And I go in fighting and my adrenaline goes away so I feel hits more but I normally end up wining but my adrenaline doesn't kick in intense when I want it to.

[@bigmember5908]

I have bad news, in all likely hood you are NOT actually a really good fighter

[@maanno1]

Awesome

[@koltronik1]

You're just as funny bro! Good video:)

[@danielgreer3906]

Nice

[@TonyMon16]

0:13 if that didnt make you go "aahhhhhhhh" i dont know whats wrong with you.. most adorable baby pic ever.

[@a.priambodo]

new video please,,,,,,

[@Vide0mak3r]

I love that this whole move/concept is negated by something as simple as shoes...XD Good in the gym/sparring but not so good in a street fight etc.. Nice video but I like your website more!

[@FightSmartTrav]

The move is made better by shoes... more grip and more leverage.

[@titow205]

FightSmartTrav But there are plenty kind of boots that limit the torsion reaching, I have myself two pair of those boots...What It never fails is an ankle lock, they won't see that coming.

[@bigmember5908]

not really, if the shoes are on tight it'll make it easier and if they slip off it doesn't mean you automatically lose control of their leg....

[@bigmember5908]

titow205 I am unfamiliar with boots that would stop me from toe holding someone, they come from Iron Man or something?

[@scottsmith5192]

I first saw you dodging punches on WSHH it was fucking amazing. Are you ever in the UK doing demos?

[@dustinmacdougall2308]

if your a banta or straw weight mma or jui-jitsu fighter thinking this wont work well cuz your body movement will be to well. just know there is another similar move to this for smaller ppl.(its same up to the toe hold/flip of the person) if your small and good bdoy movement so is your op. you can roll instead of flip him and grape vine the other leg.. once you roll it almost forces you into that finish.

[@AlPacinoSF]

Do you also do Wresling?

[@FightSmartTrav]

My wrestling kinda sucks, but I have some takedowns that I make work for me.

[@stillrob420]

Does this technique only work on toothpicks?

[@c4major582]

So since I have to be fast and mechanical to make this work, does that mean I have to be a robot to do this? Is this submission robots only? V_______V

[@donaldlbressette3559]

glad i found this

[@cosmokramer7396]

FightSmartTrav I fucking love this guy!!!. He's a combination of Matt Hamill's appearance with Bill Walton's voice.

[@SurveyofFilmMusic]

Trav...since I don't wanna injure my partner; when I lever the guy over to his belly, how possible is it for me to injure my partner's knee?
