    when i used 50/50, "most" brazilians said it was BS because a gringo did this in Brazil.. But I won ADCC with this vs a very tough Alexandre Cacareco. The term 411 was named by my friend Jocko Willink and it is the move i used to beat the great Rodolfo Viera.. Game over is the word I invented for the other position because it means the game is over, the Russian Knee knot. Door stopper is one of the foundations of leg control i have always used... I like the video and the explanation irmao

    One of the very best explanations of the system I've ever heard. The delivery was spot on, easy to follow and easy to comprehend. New positions this complex can be very difficult to grasp at first, but Gustavo lays it out in a very simple 5 rule format that makes it easy to learn and put to use.

  • @kney1987
    @kney1987 6 лет назад

    At 12:10 you attack the top leg, but something I learned yesterday, interests me. When you're in the inside sankaku, you can also roll onto your other side and attack the (now) bottom leg with a heel hook. If you lift your hips up and you apply pressure with your hips sideways onto the knee it really feels like your knee is going to explode, a lot more pressure than when the leg is on top.

    MMA LEECH: this was a educational lesson to say the least in which it was greatly appreciated. But now that you've shown how to apply these leg locks, and how to counter the counter attacks could you also show how to prevent being put in these leg locks. And I guess one answer would be to not extend your legs.

    Professor, do you consider Inside Sankaku superior to Over/Game Over?

    • @MMALeech
      @MMALeech  5 лет назад +1

      In terms of control both positions are great. They are also safe against leglock counters because your feet is hidden inside/between your opponent's leg. The biggest difference I believe is that Inside Sankaku offers you the inside heel hook, which is more devastating than the outside heelhook, offered by the Game Over position.

    • @theinvertedprotagonist
      @theinvertedprotagonist 5 лет назад

      @@MMALeech Thank you for your response.
      However, I am under the impression that Inside Sankaku exposes you to strikes whereas in Game Over position, the knee reaping forces your opponent to turn away from you denying his ability to strike or even just gripfight.
      Please correct me if I am wrong!

    • @MMALeech
      @MMALeech  4 года назад

      It's illegal for white belts under the IBJJF rules, but other organizations allow it. It's illegal because it's reaping the knee (cruzando o joelho).
      It can attack the knee, hip, or foot.

    Hello All. I have a general question to these positions. Let's have the ashi garami as an example. Is it still called ashi garami and a perfectly fine/good position if I'm on my other side? Example: in the video Professor Gustavo Gasperin is attacking the left leg and he is on his right side. Is still called ashi garami and a good position if he was on his left side attacking the left leg? In that case he would still prevent the oppenent sitting up with his right foot right? Thanks you!

    • @MMALeech
      @MMALeech  7 лет назад

      It would still be called ashi garami. It would not be the best position to attack an ankle lock because there wouldn't be body weight controlling/pinning the leg under attack, although still possible. It's a great position to transition into the Leg Knot/Game Over position and attack the heel hook instead.

      No reaping, you gotta have your opponent's foot on the same side to be considered as reaping, like in the position #3 in the video.
      Honey hole is the same leg positioning as inverted half-guard: ruclips.net/video/ykTaOFB2fTc/видео.html
      Here is Davi Ramos submitting Kayron Gracie at the IBJJF Panam Nogi using the honey hole position: ruclips.net/video/xQaN1zuVRAw/видео.htmlm8s
      IBJJF doesn't allow knee reaping as you may know.

    White belt here. My issue with leg entanglements is that it seems to me that some of them have a lack of control. take ashi compare to say a traditional submission like an americana. With the americana you have mount and have control. where as Ashi is seems like its less about control and more about speed. Like can i undo this before this guy blows my leg up? Thank just seems really dangerous to me. Any one more experienced here willing to shed some light?

      All of them are legal except #3 Leg Knot, which is considered knee reaping.
