The Toe Hold - How & When to Use It | Jiu-Jitsu Submissions

Hundreds more class instruction videos at Patreon.com/KnightJiuJitsu
An extremely popular, useful and effective leg attack, the toe hold is a powerful submission tool, not only on its own, but in combination with other attacks from a variety of positions. In this video, I break down the mechanics of how toe holds work and show several opportunities for attacking with this submission. Hope you like it.
Big shoutout to Savage Fightwear for the awesome rash guard I have on in this video. They have some really dope gear, so check them out on IG @savagefightwear.

I like the casual 'I have seen a lot of feet get broken in competition with this thing.' 😅

[@XieTianXieDi888]

I love how you quickly drop little bits of wisdom with your grips and transitions that happen so fast that if you blink you’ll miss it. But if you rewind a few times, you have a treasure trove of stuff to work with.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

[@benjaminarredondopacheco856]

Thank u so much. I have another variation of it. But all of you show us are so amazing, and going to be specialization. Thanks again!!!. From Chile.

[@jb66young]

Love the. Moves coach. Going to try in class. Oss

I used to squeeze Captains of Crush 3.5 and I love this submission. I do it by squeezing the center of the foot, it's much more painful and dangerous, but it requires more finger strength.

[@DanBaker108]

Love that rash guard btw

[@theluckylefty3486]

Awesome video.💪🏿

Awesome 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome rashie!

The only thing I fear more than toe holds is your rash guard👊🏻

Rarely hear people give credit to GOKOR, he was teaching magic at our gym in 2004 when he would visit NY, Dudes insane

I'm starting to think Eli is spying on me. Everytime I search for something, he just uploaded a video about it

Hahaha, that’s a happy coincidence

[@kenji10p]

When are you at risk of getting hit with a counter toe hold? Specifically, in positions like 5:05, couldn’t your opponent defend by extending the leg, and then enter their own toe hold on your left foot? Besides “getting to it first” who would have the advantage in these positions? Awesome video as always!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Definitely a concern with lots of leg attacks, toe holds included, that you may be susceptible to counter attacks. The one around 5:05 doesn’t really have a threat of this because he doesn’t have access to my legs. Typically the main thing to look at in leg entanglements is who is capturing and controlling the knee line - that person is typically in control and safer.

[@lucalinder6769]

Another awsome video. Its almost like i'm sitting next to you 🤙🏽. Very detailed. I have to say it. I love that rick and morty rashguard 😎. Can you tell me where you got it from

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Absolutely. It’s from savagefightwear. Check them on IG. They’ve got some great stuff!

Hey I just wanted to know if I ever got in a school fight what takedown would be most useful for taller opponents and what submission after the takedown

[@herondope5675]

double leg and preferably back control then rear naked

[@DanBaker108]

When big white belts roll hard

[@dinomra7771]

Do you or could you make a video on basic back takes?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I have one on my channel called lots of ways to take the back or something along those lines. Basic ones to more advanced

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Kneeling on your shoulder?…can you explain a little more?

[@nguyenhoangthai7652]

@@KnightJiuJitsu It means i am at the the bottom of full mount and they are at the top position. And when they see oppotunities, they can work their way up, from their knees still on the ground beside my obliques, to their knees being under my armpit and then they got them on my shoulders. They knell on my shoulders, it is very uncomfortable and also restrain your range of motions. Hope that help :)

[@nguyenhoangthai7652]

And once i did try go for an leg raise with the hip off the ground to like, wrap my legs around their shoulders/neck/head to push them back to the ground, but apparently, either my legs were too short to do so, or my opponent is that tall

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

@@nguyenhoangthai7652 - People are extremely unstable when they are mounted with their knees on your shoulders. Bringing your arms completely under them and pushing to free your shoulders works in most cases. I will try to make a video.

[@trooperjoe73]

I get to toe holds very often, but I don't extend the foot at all. I keep the foot and leg in an L shape, and twist the foot directly facing the toes to the inside of the opposing foot. 80% of the time, I get it from the half guard, but the rest is in scrambles since I'm so used to snagging feet at this point. Honestly, I do my best to not go for them anymore, since they were coming too easy for me.
