Leglock DVDs

I have to admit, thanks to the awesome releases of a number of leglock dvds on the market, I was able to learn a great deal about the subject and, additionally, I was able to get a huge jump on other practitioners as this material was often not taught in classes. (Joe Moreira's Panther Footlocks dvd started my journey in this realm way back when) There are a number of different things I could mention about the positives and negatives about leglock DVDs, so this will probably be a topic that I will visit and revisit over time. If I were to make a blanket statement on the subject, it would be this: BE CAREFUL!

While a lot of the information on dvd instructionals that deal with the subject matter of leg locks, there also needs to be great concern taken towards understanding that twisting the ankle and the knee brings about the possibility of serious injury. Yes, I know, this statement has been made by many people, many times in the past, but I can not emphasize this enough. Trying to learn leglocks off a DVD without proper supervision can prove DANGEROUS. So, do yourself a favor, use caution when trying to mimic what you see on a leglock instructional!
