Ya but thats times square in NYC bro!

gj with the details , much appreciation

this is a great dojo

i got a question i dont do my footlock like this i singulate by opponents leg by wrapping one leg under there leg and the other on top the same leg and lock the ankles now this works great for me and they cant get out of it but can they still get out doing this?

Thanks! That's not that much more than I'm paying now, I heard that Renzo's school costs 250 a month, DAMN!!!

If you go to the gracie jiu jitsu website, and your referring to the Headquarters in Torrance, Ca, it's like 160-170 per month,if I'm not mistaken. Best of luck.

I might be moving to CA and if I do I want to train here but how much is it to train there? Does anyone know?

my love to the gracie family...we will all miss ryan gracie....RIP

F**king idiot. Fine, go ahead, punch, eye gouge, hammer fist, palm strike, etc. the guy. That's what the untrained "fighter" always does. The only thing that will happen is you'll hurt him a little right before he breaks your ankle, which hurts a HELL of a lot more. Seriously, have you ever even been in a footlock? They hurt! You obviously don't realize how easy it is to break someone's ankle in a footlock. Rener even said that in the video and you weren't even paying attention.

lol

woops, didnt mean to post that lol

what was the Gracie Insider technique for the month of January 2008 ?

iv only seen the legendary rickson submitted once by his brothers royler by footloock

hahahaha ghsotpaw can try walking inside the academy and asking to get a footlock slapped on him by rener..hahahaha lets see your stupid techs ghostpaw..hahahahahahahaha send a vid from the hospital for us to laugh

Ghostpaw...think before you write. You are not making any sense. First..what difference does it make if a "BJJ" guy or "Karate" guy or a street thug has you in a foot lock? The foot lock is still being applied so who cares who is doing it??

Second....if the foot lock is properly applied, you cant lean forward to punch or eye gouge or whatever you suggested since his/her foot is preventing you from leaning forward.

ask patrick smith how well it works to strike your way out of a leg lock since he was a world class kickboxer that was tapped twice by footlocks

This is a video teaching strictly for BJJ but much of it can be applied to a real situation or an MMA situation. I train in BJJ and learn many techniques that cannot be applied to real situations only to grappling, please understand this before criticizing.

If you want to punch, eye gouge, hammer fist, palm strike, there is no point learning jiu jitsu or any technical way of doing things, just hope you dont meet a more powerful or skilled opponent. Also don't think that if the opponent can strike the person doing the technique can also do the same. A very naive comment.

BJJ was made to allow smaller fighters to beat much larger opponents. Telling a smaller guy to strike his way out of trouble is just nonsense that any knucklehead could advise. Striking at the guy is not going to get you out of the hold 100% of the time, so it's nice to have a process you can fall back on. The more you know, the better prepared you are.

Not to mention, if the guy pulls away, he can make it awfully hard to land effective strikes.

ghostpaw come on man open your eyes! you need the defense you are facing each other but if the guy is good at footlocks he'll rip off your foot before you even have a chance to react ("punch,eyegouge,hammerfist,palm strike,etc")and by that time you'll be screaming in pain and not be able to stand while he does and repeatedly kicks you in the face.MMA is great but you need a good Jiu-jitsu base. hears a quarter go buy a clue!

umm... your facing each other, his using both hands to grab your foot, aka no defense, and you do a 4-step move to "save" your foot. Just punch, eye gouge, hammer-fist, palm strike, etc the guy.
C'mon seriously now, fighting is an ever-evolving sport so try to keep up with the times, strict-BJJ days were over years ago. Learn some strikes and implement them into your fighting style. Sorry to say but these videos have become nothing more than "how to beat a BJJ guy."

yeah!!! first to comment and view!!

dude thats sick that they show their students doing it, they should do that more often..

i wanna see rener a ryron spar, thatll be a good vid..
