I love this. so useful
Great course, it covers a lot of useful detail, including small points that really make a difference. I love the length, you don’t have to commit full days to get through it, and he packs a lot of value into a short amount of time..
Explanations are very clear and easy to follow! Love this basic course!
I loved the tarikoplata instructional so I got this one as well and it did not disappoint! great techniques and details!
Great details of the straight footlock and SLX
I teach all my blue belts this system and they wreck with it
Awesome
With single-leg X, I secure a stable position to attack a foot lock on my opponent's unstable leg.
Learn how to approach foot locks. Great tutorial!
There is a lot of great information in this video and you can get it at a very low cost especially when it's on daily deals. Tarik speaks fluent English and is a great instructor to learn from.
powerful attack. I recommend this!
Great info on straight ankle locks.
Very good instructional to help update your leg attacks!!! This instructional has definitely helped me improve a lot. My training partners would definitely agree!!!
Great instructional to update your leg lock game!!! Definitely helped me keep up with the younger guys in my gym.
I like all of Tarik Hopstock's videos, he's a great teacher and the idea of this video fits my actual preferences
Good instructional. Definitely worth it.
All legal
great details
Very good details given to execute the techniques. not a long series but worth the price paid.
Good stuff to hit from SLX. Also its crazy to see Placido as a skinny blue belt. That alone is worth the price of admission.
New ways of finishing your ankle locks
very good details on finishing footlocks and some good set ups took my finishing to the next level
great
I think the truly great thing about this instructional is its specificity and unique concept. It does not become a full leglock instructional, it focuses on the belly down ankle lock. I always enjoy Tarik Hopstock's detailed yet simple instruciton.
Good introduction for foot locks from single leg X wich can use in gi and no-gi
Great instructional. Very usefull!
Awesome techniques
Achilles locks are making a comeback these days and the reason seems to be a better understanding of mechanics and control. This series will teach you how to setup, control and finish footlocks with devastating power. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to have powerful leg attacks that competes or trains under IBJJF rules.
Lots of useful information on this position. Thanks for the video.
Very simple and powerful
very fun technique and easy to understand!
A good video. I definitely learned some new things. Typically one goes for heel hooks from the bottom position when the opponent is standing. Tarik shows us how to do the same with the ankle lock.
Tarik hits a lot of ankle locks - great tips and a great addition to my collection.
I've noticed that everyone at my gym has been using similar footlock attacks and entries. This instructional helped add more variety that has helped my catch more submissions at my gym.
simple but very effective technics!
Great content
This is by far very simple but insanely impressive sessions for me! Really great!
Clear and detailed instructional! I feel much more comfortable with the technique. Highly recommended.
Good value for money. Tarik does a good job explaining his footlock system. It's not overly complicated and can be applied even by beginners like me. I found the first part of the DVD to be easily applicable in no gi as well. For me, the knee bar section very useful.
T H. provided an in depth focusing manual about the belly down footlock via single leg x entries and set ups out of it. To round up the game you get sweeps and backtakes 50/50 transitions and attacks out of it. He teaches step by step first and then he is offering the whole moves/techniques with moderate pace. He points out all doe's and dont's and why's. The drils are easy to catch and well chosen! 100% recommendation!!
Enjoying the video and instruction!
Great instructional! Just like the tarikoplata instructional, this is a complete system of attacks. I have been getting people a lot with this type of ankle lock.
I have watched this series and got a lot of great details. I like the practical side of the course: drills, entries, and foot locks that work in real fights.
Added a tool to the toolbox for sure.
:ok_hand::ok_hand:
Very good . I like the approach of sometimes going belly down which is a good add - on to ordinary ankle lock. There are some good tips and very clear and good exercises. Good leg configuration explanations and diverse examples you can put into sparring practice immediately. Very practical video.
This is a great starting point for the butterfly ashi footlock, and has helped me tremendously with it!
This is a bargain of an instructional this is what I’ve been needing. The details are very good and essential as he explains how this is ibjjf legal. I would recommend this to anyone starting to train in the leg game.
This footlock system is very detailed and has improved my knowledge not only of the straight ankle lock, but single leg X as well. I've already been able to implement it into my game. I've since watched some of Tarik's matches and he uses this system effectively at the highest levels.
Awesome video! Moves you can implement on the mat right away!:call_me_hand:Everything chains together really well! Thanks!
