Excellent.
Excellent details, both from the offensive and defensive perspective
Very technical defense and escapes
Goes through all major leg position defenses
Very well explained and detailed!
This is all good material. The instruction is kind of wordy so it takes a while to get through it, but the material is solid.
leg lock
Great!
Good instructional
he gets to the point with practical knowledge
Fantastic coaching
This really answered a lot of questions on escaping leg locks for me. Everyone is leg lock happy these days and it has helped me stuff a lot of those entries.
great details
Having done mostly gi and transitioning into no gi, the world of leglocks was confusing and intimidating with unknown danger. Giancarlo’s series provides a fantastic overview of the different entanglements as well as preventative, early stage, and late stage countermeasures.
This instructional is very well organized and really helped my defense when it comes to leg locks.
Very clear, easy to understand instruction from Giancarlo.
Tired of getting leg locked? Look no further. Giancarlo is an excellent instructor!
I’m old and started when leglock did not exist for anyone except dean lister.m or some sambo guys. This video helped me a lot - maybe I’m not engaging in leglocks, but i can avoid them.
awesome concepts and great way of teaching it
Giancarlo presents another excellent instructional befitting of a world class athlete and instructor
Giancarlo Bodoni shows how to position yourself to prevent and negate leg entanglements. To escape the early and mid- and late stage of leg locks. Folled by counter back takes and counter submissions. He teaches concepts and techniques on point and puts them into context very concise. Highly recommend!
This instructional does a great job covering different positions and leg entanglements at a fundamental level. The instruction and pacing are both excellent and I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning about leg locks
good
This has been a very helpful video for me. It has so many details and since I'm not a highly experienced belt that's such a good thing. I digest it a little bit at a time, with whatever leg attack problem I'm having at the moment.
I like this course layout, I look forward to getting your other defense video courses.
