The reviews
Please give us 102 or 201!
I've owned this instructional for years. It's probably been the most impactful instructional I've ever owned. I come back to it at least once a year. This should be called "Straight Ankle Lock," which would make it super en vouge these days. Please, please, please, Charles Harriott, give us Leglocks 102 or 201; I want to learn more from you!
Great Intro to Leg Locks
Great introduction to leg locks and the hows and whys often not mentioned in other leg lock videos. Nicely detail oriented.
Awesome instructional
Thanks for effective and efficient technique!

On point. Step by step.
More than just submissions
Charles doesn't just teach leglocks in this video but he explains how to safely and effectively learn how to engage in leglocks for practice and sparring. I think this is mandatory learning for anyone who wants to learn the Dark Arts of Leglocking!
Never studied another from Charles before but was not disappointed
Very good details on positions and submissions. Gives drills to supplement what he is teaching.
Great Intro.
Great Intro. I've Charles teach in person. He's a great guy.
Leg locks basics
Leg locking seems simple but it actually requires some good foundation.
C.J.
Five Stars for the safety aspects. Some the leglocks stuff is getting ridiculous. I got injured by a dingbat white belt in a gym where it was not allowed during a drill. Spaz. Be real explicit and unless you are getting but to do BJJ catch a release. Heel hooks are idiotic, you really cannot top for the pain. Pressure but the margin of error is too small. A ton of people are injured. Trying to tap in time when some idiotic is cranking on your heel is not likely. Your "partner" will not be able to stop their momentum.
Start here fro Leglocks
The best entry to this topic for everyone.
The best leglock intro, ever
I attended a class by Charles at a Globetrotter camp, which impressed me so much I brought him to my club for a few seminars and my own Artemis BJJ camps. Once this instructional came out, I bought it immediately. Since then, it has been the foundation of how I teach leglocks. So if you're looking for an articulate, concise and safe introduction to leglocks, look no further. Leglocks 101 is the gold standard.
Great
Top instructional to begin and improve leg lock game
Leg locks 101
Outstanding introduction to leg locks. Charles gives drills and step by step directions on safe ways to begin teaching leg locks to your students or to learn on your own if you are a lower belt
excellent information
Charles is a great instructor. I've taken many of his seminars. Very technical but easy to follow. Look forward to more of his work. :)
Don't know where to start?
X marks the spot!

Very comprehensive introduction to leg locks. He’s an excellent instructor.
Systematic Approach to leg locks
If you are new to leg locks, this is a great instructional that covers a lot of foundational things to get you going!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Good overview
Title says it all - great basics for those uninitiated in the leg game

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗charles harriott leg locks 101
very good introduction to leglocks for beginners sets a good base of instructions to get submission and defend submission without getting injured
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Control - attack -stay and keep safe!
C. H. provided an excellent series about how to get into leg entanglements. How to dominate in a controlled manner and how to finish. The safety tipps alone a pure gold!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Must have
This tutorial's main emphasis is on using the leg log techniques safely. The author places a focus on strategies that can be applied to IBJFF competitions. The majority of the techniques concentrate around a straight ancle lock. In addition, a sizable portion of the exercises are given as phases of a game between two players that are developed progresively. I highly recommend for all levels.
Leglocks essential!
I’m an old school grappler… in my generation dean lister was the only legit source (gokor started later with the instructionals). A different world. This instrUctional is the best starting point for those who never get into the leglock ststem
Buy this video... Especially if it's on Daily Deal... Especially if there is another discount on top of the Daily Deal
Bottom Line: I'm a 46-year-old gi guy, and this video is soooo useful. Buy it. I got this on Daily Deal, and it is worth every penny and more. He is basically teaching an IBJJF-legal ankle lock. You will tap soooo many people with the lazy foot lock. But beyond that, he gives the basics of a couple of control positions. He also has some drills, so if you're looking to teach it to a class, there's good stuff here for you. I've basically been getting so much use out of the lazy foot lock from ashi garami (spelling, sorry), that I haven't even dived deep into the inside sankaku (spelling, again) part of the video. The vid is short and straight to the point; no useless b.s. I bought this a few months ago, and I've been recommending it to everyone. If you pay full price for it, it's worth it. If you get a deal (or a double deal) on it, you're winning.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗good drills, good perspective
The partner and solo drills are really good way of combining all the information succinctly. Makes the separated techniques feels part of the same thing. "Game"-efying the drills makes the information easier to digest and gives the drills more purpose as opposed to just "do this move". Great stuff!
Does what it says on the tin.
Fantastic introductory material!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Leglocks 101
Easy to follow, beginner friendly instructional with focus on less dangerous leg attacks. I liked how Chris communicates information, great instructor.
Clear and concise explanation of
Clear and concise explanation of leglocks that can easily be implemented into your game regardless of belt level from beginners to experienced
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻No matter your level
This is so useful no matter your level. I use it as an instructor and to develop my own game further. Harriots way of teaching is easy applicable to the training.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻My Best Buy so far
I will have to say that Charles way of teaching and the conceptional approach to the subject are appealing to me. In very short time I managed to move my game and my teaching a step further. The content are precise (no long boring speak) and easy to apply to the game, insane I got the video that cheap :)
Great intro to leg locks.
If you want to become familiar with leg locks this is a great video to start with. It isn't nearly as long or comprehensive as some others, but covers some basic offense, defense, and etiquette. He does a great job of pointing out important details while keeping the video an appropriate length.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻The first video you need to watch to learn leg locks
As the name suggested, you will learn basics of leg locks. There are a lot of great leg attacking system videos. This one in my opinion is the prerequisite to other systems. I learned very useful techniques and safety tips from this video.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻All the basics I needed to know
I learned alot of basics of leg attacks. Recommend to any beginners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Intro to A Leg Game
Good stuff.
Excellent Intro to Leglocks
I was looking for a course that would ease me in to the leglock game without going straight into funky positions from all angles. If you're looking for simple, and understandable techniques for the most common leg attacks, this is for you. Additionally, I think Charles does a really great job in teaching you how to drill safely.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great video about leg locks…
I really like leg locks, and this is a great video with detailed explanations. If you are serious about leg locks, are this video to your collection.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Underated instructor
Great review of leglocks. The first chapters on the safety of training leglocks is vastly underrated. Many times during rolling people will roll incorrectly out of positions, this will help you stay safe in many of the dangerous positions. Another thing that makes this DVD beneficial is that there is no fluff nor it is vastly oversimplified. Gradual-specific training is included for each of the most popular positions. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent entry into leglocks
Well explained with lots of drills & games . Safety for yourself and your partner is prioritised. Well worth the money!

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Leglocks 101
Great stuff
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Clear and concise breakdown of the leg game
I've found this video set super useful in deepening my understanding of the leg lock game. Charle's breakdown of the various positions and the why of each position is super clear and the content is sequenced really well with a clear build from basic to more advanced concepts. Highly recommended
Best Beginner Leg Lock System
This is one of the best instructional I have purchased. I have a few leg lock dvds and this is a great one to start with, provides great drills too. The instructor is great (doesn’t put you to sleep) and gets to the point. I hope he comes out with a more advanced instructional soon too. The only bad thing was it went on sale two days after I purchased it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Video
I particularly liked his emphasis on safety. The instructions are clear as well as the key points. Has some nice drills as well. Great buy! Learned a lot
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Always great stuff from Charles!
I had the pleasure of learning from Charles in person, both as a seminar in my gym and on the BJJ Globetrotter Camps. One of the most awesome instructors and people you'll ever meet!
