Keylock Trap System by Vanessa Waltz
Easy to follow and digest, with a clean length per technique. It builds a solid, working system of interconnected "if-then-else" options with great coverage for different defensive reactions. A fantastic fit for a lazy-*** middle-aged side control pressure camper who doesn't like the acrobatic modern stuff.
Good System with a lot of options , Great Stuff!
Nice system
This is a nice system starting from an Americana-style pin from side control. Lots of options: Americana, kimura, chokes, armbars, backtakes, triangles. Everything explained clearly. My only complaint is the soundtrack between segments. It really is loud and annoying. [BJJ Fanatics - you would be doing your customers a favor by re-editing this and dialing that down.]
Awesome Trap system
These techniques work so well. Great teaching and explanations, very easy to follow.
Cool System
Good technique
Good technique, but the music between rounds is way louder than the commentary—makes it pretty unpleasant to watch at night.

Great Transitions
Love the details not only in technique but in the transitions as well.
Easy to use system for all levels!
It’s an easy system to understand and it’s explained well in the instructional. Very useful for both Gi & No Gi practitioners.
Unique course
Really cool techniques I haven’t seen anywhere else. Explained very well.
Good video

Keylock trap system
Really love this course by Vanessa , very clearly explained and the live rolling footage really helps with how to apply it in a live scenario. Absolutely recommend adding this into your portfolio and game.
Key Lock Trap
Interesting set ups and transitions starting from key lock. She incorporates both near and wide angles in instructional to allow you to appreciate each position change.
Easy to follow!
This has seriously been a great instructional. it's super easy to follow and re-watch for more details. I was able to play with some of the positions day 1 after watching. I do like that she had some live rolls, to see the move work. Each segment was not super long to make you lose interest.
Surprised
I was honestly surprised by how good this key lock entry is. The details and setups opened my eyes to so many possibilities I hadn’t considered before. It’s one of those techniques that seems simple at first, but the more you watch, the more layers you see. I’m really looking forward to drilling it and adding it to my game. Great stuff!

Keylock Trap System by Vanessa Waltz
Excellent instructional! The keylock position is well presented as a way to transition in to a wide variety of submissions.
Great system
Aside from some slight technical difficulties this is a great instructional. It's really well explained with responses to common defenses and features I really like are that it includes the techniques at full speed and at times in rolling footage. I also really like that the chapters are short, which will make this easy to implement and go back to for reference points. Definitely worth it.
Great Submissions
nice instructions on attacking primarily from side, effective for light weight folks like myself.

Amazing
Great instructions. Her style of instructing is very comprehensive. I've already started to implement parts of her system.
Some sneaky techniques
I found this product to be useful and have hit the ninja choke in training already. I will be rewatching at least a couple of times. Thanks Vanessa!
Keylock System
Great tutorial on the keylock system and associated moves. This tutorial will improve your movement efficiency while in top control and will prevent any counters.
Turns out keylocks aren’t just a big man’s game
Immediately got some of the techniques to work in class against a heavier opponent, same rank. I’ve always struggled holding side control; isolating and threatening the arm locks extended my control time significantly.

Solid Technique
Really enjoying this system, so many surprises for the folks I roll with
Great instructional
Loving it so far
Fantastic Instructional
Simple, clear, underutilized idea / grip with several variations and a couple dozen strong attack options off of them. Used it successfully to advance to mount several times after a single watch. A variety of entries based on different arm / control configurations and common reactions, and an interesting but still practical answer to the question: How do I actually CONTROL my opponent from side-control? Material suited to beginners and advanced players and for a variety of styles, as simple or complex as you want to make it, easily slotted in with the kimura, kesa, and north-south attacks I already know. Reasonably priced. No bloat. The best instructional I've seen in some time.

Vanessa's KLT system
Great tape! I've been a Waltz follower on IG for years and always hoped for an instructional on this. The only issue with this tape is an editing one - the first technique on part 4 "Surfer Armbar" is misedited to reuse the footage from technique 4 on part 1 "Back Traingle vs Strong Straight Arm," so the Surfer Armbar is missing. Other than that misedit, the content is incredible
