If they are dangerous it also means they are effective. Train them but make sure you understand cautionary details and then take care of each other in training.

Jiu Jitsu virou Luta Livre.

He is right! Even King Gordon Ryan doesn't acknowledge the rubber guard.

I’ll say it leg locks are shit just like no gi lol

Damn, I thought he spoke better English than this. I understood some of it.

Brilliant analogy with the finger bending sideways…

Frank dux would destroy all mma fighters today.

Still beat rolyler

Shout out to Erik Paulson and the Catch Wrestling gods in Japan

A lot of uneducated mf in these comments 😂😂😂

Rubber guard is useless and leglocks are cheating move. Only thing that works at high level BJJ is strength ,superior athleticism. And last but not the least is the secret sauce vitamin S.

Would Rickson beat Mike Tyson in a fight? They're about the same age right?

Salute to Satoru Sayama, the original Tiger Mask 🐯

i understand the reason why leg locks were not always liked. jon jones knee hyperextension is one of the nastiest legal moves i have ever seen.

If you want to play the keg lock game then striking should be allowed

For 99.9% of us, this is a hobby. Even if we compete. And it ain't worth the leg lock bs. If you go for a heel hook, you will get a Muay Thai lesson immediately

Ultimate master

In other words, its a low percentage technique. But there are a lot of low percentage techniques that even Rickson teaches such as the Americana. That doesnt work past white belt. That doesnt mean its a bad technique theres a time and place.

Rogan sounds alot like Jordan Peterson in this video 😂

rickson is like a doctor of bjj.

The master.

I just found out about Rickson's diagnosis today, and yes, I can see the symptoms in this 12 month old video.

I always think about what I would rather lose, a leg or an arm. It's got to be the legs, it would change so much more to have no hands. The most dangerous thing in bjj and all other wrestling sports is when people fall on top of each other.

The Brazilians saw leg locks in Brazilian Catch Wrestling (Luta Livre) and saw them via Ivan Gomes who was a Judoka and Catch Wrestler. Sambo learned their leg lock game from Catch Wrestling. Sambo is literally CaCC plus Judo.

Yet he still tapped out Royler Gracie 😂

hair is another

Facts !!!!!!

Ah yeah, duh

Shanrock tried tô leglock Royce First UFC and got tapped

Man I’m sad they made that video private. Gracie’s probably asked joe to do it

I wonder who Joe admires more: Elon Musk or Rickson Gracie? 🤔

Watch that teen Pat Shingoli tear people’s knees up and then brag about it.

When a Master explains, all it takes is simple finger movements for EVERYONE to understand

How I know if somebody is an asshole grappler or an amateur is if they allow for leglocks or not. When I've trained with high class grapplers if you went for a leglock we would IMMEDIATELY tap & give you your pathetic win, then refuse to EVER grapple with you again. They're so dangerous. You DON'T KNOW when your knee will suddenly give out & then you're fucked. Want a limp & a hard time walking for the rest of your life? If yes, then grapple with assholes that allow leglocks. Otherwise them allowing leglocks should be a red flag for you to run out of that studio. Otherwise like I said enjoy your eventual jiu-jitsu of honor with a blown out knee for the rest of your life.

No one cares what he says. Submission grappling has evolved beyond his time

Explaining a move to Rickson Gracie is like explaining a punch to Mike Tyson.

The figure 4 leglock is the winner everytime, only true masters know this deadly technique. Grandmaster rick (the nature boy) flair is a true legend of the figure 4 leglock that Mr gracie and Mr rogan are discussing.

Eric Paulson is a notable pioneer in the early history of MMA in a number of ways. Not many even know who he is though.

comp judo cant use them to easy to get hurt

Sorry I respectfully disagree with Rickson Gracie. It was booed just like Joe said. They did call it cheating. It was the Brazilians' close-minded thinking that kept the leg locks from growing. It did seem like cheating, because if your opponent didn't know it, they would easily get tapped. A black belt could easily get tapped out by a white belt when it came to leg locks. Now everybody recognizes that it's not that that easy if both grapplers understand the leg lock, just like anything else in jujitsu. Most Jiu-Jitsu techniques appear to be easy when the opponent knows nothing about them. The difference is that when they escape the technique and you are on your guard, they will be back in a strong superior position. Leg locks are much more difficult to escape. Keeping a strong and powerful opponent from escaping and getting back up. The one thing I do agree on, and this goes for every technique, including leg locks and neck cranks, is that if you hurt people at a gym, you won't be allowed to use that technique. I always taught students techniques that were very dangerous. Heel hooks, neck cranks, Kimora or shoulder locks. Everybody should be taught at a gym to train with control. As far as competitions go, the full arsenal of submissions should be opened up by purple belt. If you make it to purple belt, you know what's dangerous and what's not dangerous and you know better. It should never be a situation where a black belt is getting finished by a white belt just because he doesn't have leg locks or takeouts.

The analogy of bending your finger in comparison to the knee is beautiful. Almost an exact like for like that is instantly understandable...

see this is proof that BJJ guys are dumb; to ignore legs for 60+ years is insane. I don't say that in hindsight

True legend

I would love to see Mr. Rogan interview Gokor Chivichyan.

How many top BJJ guys or fighters has Rickson produced he had nothing to do with his son's training before he became a top competitor.

Leglocks are cheap second rate subs with no setup

Rickson……a guy who fought punks in alleys and drunk losers in the streets for 30 years. That’s 95% of his record. He was scared to fight in the UFC 25 years ago.

Jiu jitsu is turning into fancy Sambo. Said what I said.

He's a legend, but I wish he would have fought in Pride at the highest level.

I truly believe I can choke out Gracie. Old methods are just what they are...old and outdated.
