Basic, good explanation and very good tutorial for new practitioners.
Aaron Benzrihem’s Basics To Advanced: Ankle Picks For Jiu Jitsu was a really interesting instructional. I honestly did not expect ankle picks to be developed into such a complete and well-structured concept. Before watching it, for me it was just one technique, but this instructional showed how to use ankle picks from many different positions and situations. Overall, it is a very smart and useful instructional with a lot of great ideas.
Tall guys with long arms, this is the move for you.

Aaron is quickly becoming my favorite instructor and this just reinforces that. So easy to follow and implement.
A nice systematic approach to setting up and finishing ankle picks!
Good stuff!!
I discovered Bezrihem via his superb YouTube channel and am happy I grabbed this Fanatics instructional. He has an awesome teaching style that is conceptual and easy to incorporate into your game. This is a stellar, comprehensive guide to the ankle pick--a versatile and relatively safe takedown option in gi. This is my first Benzrihem instructional and certainly not my last. Thank you, Aaron!
