Markedly improved my toe holds. All techniques and concepts very well explained.
Clear explanations of how to make toeholds n estima locks work. Would be great if he clarifies which locks are legal for IBJJF Gi, especially the toeholds that turn outwards instead of inwards to the butt. Well worth the money.
Really good content and different applications. One of my favourite videos on here. Great LEG LOCK content too.
Liked very much! Very good concept oriented explanations and some new (at least for me) awesome details! It worth every cent!
The inverse of a traditional straight ankle great move and series
Very interesting concept for toe holds.
very nice details, really helpfull
Can't go wrong here, good estma lock finishing details.
We drill Estima Locks in our academy, but I won't be able to use them in live rounds until I'm a Brown Belt. Good details and a good review. It's probably still good to know all the details so I can recognize the danger right away if someone unknowlingly throws one on me while visiting. Great instructor, clear, and speaking from many years of experience.
Brailio Estima is a legend and this instructional is a must buy.
Useful leg lock strategy when coming from straight foot locks
Really nice kneebar and footlock set ups and finishing details
Great content.
Harsh but elegant
Explanation is very clear and to the point. Braulio keeps things fun and clearly explains the concepts behind the actual T.H and E.L. I will say this is one of the best instructional I have had in terms of clear explanation of concepts and application of techniques. Thank you B.E. for sharing your knowledge on this essential technique for us new brown belts

Owesome !! I recommend for all bjj practitioners

Great instruction and mindset for attacking toe holds !
The Ultimate instructional on the Estima Lock!!! Awesome way to learn the Estima Lock is from the source!!! Braulio is a great instructor and teaches a lot of great set ups for the Estima Lock and Toe Holds!!!
This is definitely one of the best foot attacks ever!!! Especially for IBJJF... I re-watch this instructional often. Everyone keeps attacking footlocks, but they always forget the Estima Lock!!! But that's when you catch them with it!!!
Very Detailed and the right lenghth. Everything cleared what to know. I like it :)
I feel like with all of the hype on heel hooks, people forgot about the Estima lock!!! This instructional is definitely work the revisit!!! I've forgotten about some of these set-ups but I'm definitely going to reintroduce them into my game!!!
Catching it from everywhere now!
Great instructional

I enjoyed this totally different take from what I thought about toeholds.It felt like a really different take
He is world class for a reason !
Already having success with these techniques
These moves are so DEADLY. You can really break someone's knees and ankles
great instructional
great applicable details
always loved braulios style, he shows a lot of different variations of foot attacks that I haven't seen that are also very effective.
As I creep my way through purple belt I’ve been enjoying starting my journey into the toehold game. I’ve learn a ton of applicable fundamental mechanics of this submission hold. Love it
The Estima Lock by the man himself
as a newbie to footlocks I wanted something less complex with just a few things to learn. This has plenty on it but is not too much for a newbie great deal also
this instructional has helped my fundamental understanding of toe hold exponentially. I just recently started training toe holds and the mechanics of this submission simply escaped me until I bought this video.
Excellent instruction by a word class competitor and instructor. The details he provides have taken my game to another level. A must have for your collection.

His english is excellent so everything he says is very clear. The set ups and details are freaking great. I'm so excited to play with them!
Professor B. E. shares his super successful and battle tested Estima Lock toolkit. He shows how to use the signature lock to finush or to control to set up another one! Highly recommend!
Good
Awesome instructional on some very sneaky and unconventional leg attacks. I highly recommend.
Interesting instructional on very powerful position. Interesting and fun to learn.
Great instructional! First one I buy from Braulio Estima. I like the way he teaches. Easy to follow and understand. Implemented these technique right away. Also bought his guard passing instructional.
