Leg Attacks

• Video Courtesy of 2-time Light-Heavyweight World Shooto Champion, Erik Paulson.

 

Overview - My opinion is that all serious grapplers and fighters should develop a leg attack game.  It is important to have that diversity in your game, and not just focusing on arm and choke submissions.  When an opponent has to be concerned about not only defending his arms and neck, but also his legs, it opens up many more opportunities for you.  Leg attacks are available at every position whether top or bottom.  Sometimes a failed attempt at a leg lock can put you in a bad position, which makes some leg attack submissions a high risk transition.  But if one trains them enough and they work consistently on your training partners, the attacks can become high percentage attempts.  Frank Mir and Erik Paulson are two World Champion MMA fighters who have made leg locks a part of their success.

 

Knee Bar Tips -

• Use your pelvic bone or your athletic cup as a fulcrum on your opponents knee joint. 
•  Your knees should be bent at about a 90′ angle. 
•  Your feet are to be positioned parallel to each other, crossed, or figure 4 your legs. 
• Hand position, two hands cup opponents heel, hug his lower leg(bow tie), Figure 4 your arms(like a rear naked choke). 
• Opponent leg should be between your head and the ground. 
• If leg above your head, weave your top arm under his leg and push his leg away from your body with your elbow/triceps.
• Squeeze your knees.
• Hips forward.  Wait for the tap, snap, or squeal!!

 Heel Hook Tips -

• Keep opponent knee bent, can not finish if leg is straight. 
• Squeeze your own knees around his leg. 
• Use your radial bone to hook under opponent’s heel. 
• Apply a clap hands grip, chain link grip, figure 4 grip, or two hands on heel to control foot. 
• Roll to side away from captured leg and put your shoulder to the ground

Figure 4 Toe Hold tips -

• Grip high on opponent foot near toes. 
• Cup and grip outside of foot with all five fingers. 
• Squeeze down on toes. 
• Figure 4 hand to wrist( free hand grabs your other wrist). 
•  Crank foot inward with a mindset you would want to put opponent’s toes in his own butt.

Achilles Lock Tips -

• Keep opponents leg bent. 
• Overhook opponents ankle with your arm so your radial bone is across their achilles tendon. 
• Marry your hands together with either a: cup and saucer grip, chain link grip, clap hands grip, or a figure 4 grip.
• Make sure opponent’s foot is wedged into your arm pit. 
• Lean back on their foot as this helps weaken their tendon. 
• Squeeze knees together around trapped leg, lift grip to high of  your chest, lean back and arch.
