I've been training for quite a while so its difficult for me to learn new concepts. But neil brings a new fresh look at leglocks that I currently use in my game. Highly recommend!
Great information
Awesome instructional, simple and straightforward teaching of a different variety of leg locks for the lacky top player
Great vid. Got introduced to this in class and purchased as a supplement
Solid instructional. Although I did not take all the moves, one can get a solid 5-10 moves applicable to one’s style.
Great system and insights from Neil
Great instructional and funny
Leglocks utilised by remaining on top not sitting back amazing details great instructor highly recommend
A lot of old school locks and different ideas for modern leg games. Neil does an outstanding job explaining the locks that should be in your game.
great
Good info as always
I'm always big fan of the Ground Marshall
Awesome and out of the box
great instructional
This is the best, most unique leglock instructional I have ever seen. Very good content. Easily worth full price let alone on sale.
Another great mixture of nasty techniques by him. If you wanna mix catch in with your grappling, Neil is your guy.
This is a really great instructional. They are very solid and accessible submissions, but they are rare, and most people haven't seen them. They also do not give up position like lots of jiu jitsu locks. I have caught some blue, purple, and even a brown belt in some of these (the purple and brown belts escaped though) just because they have not seen these things before. Especially if you want an unorthodox option for your top game, these are great.
Awesome leg locks absolutely brutal
Maelanson is always worth it
As an older grappler these techniques really suited my style and body type. Great instruction as always from Neil.
Fantastic and very different leg lock info.
Coach Neil's approach to grappling is the absolute BEST, and his leg lock attacks are outside-the-box and filthy as all ****--rooted in his experience as a Hayastan grappler who also had an opportunity to study with catch wrestling great Billy Robinson and a slew of other masters. A vote for Neil is a vote for America! Don't be a ******--grab his leg attack instructional ASAP!
Awesome well worth it
The strength of Neil's instructionals for me is the way he intertwines overarching concepts with each technique--in this case, concepts that will elevate your leglock game and enhance your positional awareness. His teaching methods have something to offer both beginners and seasoned grapplers. His compression locks and methods of controlling opponents are killer!
You need to have these techniques in your game period. It really opened my eyes to the top lock game which is so powerful. Must get.
Lots of unique leg attacks. Melanson a videos always have lots of knowledge to pass and out of this knowledge there is something for everyone
another brutal and effective Neil melanson instructional. can't get enough of these.
Anyone familiar with Neil Melanson's approach to grappling knows that it is highly unconventional and highly effective. If you're not familiar with Melanson, grab this leglock instructional now. A treasure trove of leg attacks from catch wrestling, the Hayastan system, and BJJ. Epic.
great unorthodox options to get to leg attacks
leg locks that you don't need to fall back to hit. Superior approach to the keg lock gone from Melanson
leg lock
A great instructional on leglocks, I own pretty much all of Neil's stuff, I've been a fan since watching the catch formula. On this instructional you going to get leglocks from top position, which is a very different take compared to 90% of the other instructionals out there. These are bit old school but as Neil said old school is new school, I've owned this instructional since it first came out but didn't realize I hadn't left a review, quite a lot of these techniques are in my game, I promise you they're all legit and effective. If your a heavy weight I would deff pick this up but it'll serve anyone well.
I’ve got most of the stuff that he puts of and he never disappoints. This one is no different, full of really valuable stuff that I can’t wait to add to my game.
Absolutely love Neil's work. It's great to see leg locks from top position. Especially as a heavy weight and not having to lose position to finish opponents.
I bought this because I have a couple other instructionals from Neil and really like the different perspective he provides. As a BJJ grappler, mainly in the Gi, these techniques aren't something I'm likely to be taught, but the submissions and positions you end up in really are universal. These techniques are extremely effective, which is why you should use them with caution, especially if your training partner is unfamiliar with the position/submission. Needless to say, definitely worth buying in my opinion as it will broaden your perspective on grappling and what's possible.
always a fan of Neil's content, he brings an awesome mix of old school/ forgotten techniques to the forefront! would recommend as always!
Very slick leg locks from the catch perspective of Neil Melancon. As always, explanation in great detail. Excellent instruction.
Happy to see a different take that's much more practical.
Great take on the leg lock game. Not everyone is taking the full practical approach, but its good to see it from someone.

This is great for me I am older and love the simple application for my game.
Classic instructional from Melanson. He defers to Dean Lister's instructional for better details. Talk about confidence and humility.
a lot of moves from which you can take a few away that work for you.
Non complicated submissions, enjoyed the video.
Solid instructional. I like the counters better than the attacks. The older I get the more the counters matter.
Can always apply 4-5 movements from his videos to my game. . Solid instruction and worth the purchase.
Chains with a lot of other stuff he's taught in his instructionals. Leg entanglements and attacks, but with his twist on it. Highly recommend it!
Neil's videos are always so fun, for one reason, he pulls from different disciplines and it's is often stuff I don't find elsewhere.
Neil,s leg locks are unique and amazing!
Definitely a lot of leg lock technique and principles you won’t find in most Bjj gyms. I own everything Neil puts out, he produces the best videos I’ve seen.
