Great details. A plan to go from their lower body to their back is not always expected. Surprised opponents all the time.
Great instructional on how to deal with those pesky leg lockers. Escapes and counters galore
Great as usual
Gordon is as always, very detailed with the strongest techniques
I think it’s a valuable resource and I recommend it for anyone who needs to learn this specific spot. Gordon’s other instructionals are so good and immediately game changing, this one will likely only game change leg locks to back, unless you are in this spot all the time.
filled many gaps I needed answers to. another great instructional
Great for making a good leg game great.
👍
great

Leg lock defense
Each entanglement is covered in great detail by Gordon. Another terrific addition to the Pillars of Defense series.
Great details, a game changer for combining these two skill sets.
Open my eyes to the many possibilities from defending a leg lock to taking the back
Top of the line
The instruction was clear and concise and well explained. Every time I watch I always learn something new. The replay value is very high.
The King strikes again. Solid techniques!

Great video
Gordon shows how to tie leg lock defense with guard passing and back takes on this series. This one focuses more on how to take their back, but shows some details from the other two instructionals. Highly recommend!
Awesome
Amazing as always
Awesome!
Ive really enjoyed going through this instructional. I have a hard time knowing which direction to go once i escape a leg attack. Thanks to this instructional I have multiple options to move forward.
always breaks things down in a way for everyone to be able to understand and retain
Great instructional video!
I'm a quarter of the way through already and the instruction is great as usual.
