So after recently watching Chris Ween, the former champ,

get punched in the face nonstop for about 45 seconds.

I figured, hey, it might be a good idea to teach you guys

how to escape from full mount so

that you don't get punched in the face for 45 seconds.

And on top of that, I'll teach you how

to move from this escape immediately into a knee,

an ankle shredding leg lock

that will tear your opponent's joints to pieces

and also end the fight instantaneously.

You go from a bad position

to victory in 1.45 seconds according to my stopwatch.

Now this video is actually the first in a series

of videos on leg locks, which are some

of the most disgusting self-defense moves

in all of martial arts.

Watch all four videos and you'll be Steven Egal level

dangerous old school egal, of course.

Now, in video number two, I'm gonna introduce you to one

of my coaches and he's gonna show you

how you can end a fight in five seconds

or less from your feet by snapping your opponent's leg,

which will surprise the crap out of everybody.

Surprise, you got no legs.

Now, in video number three, we're gonna talk about

incapability and some little secret modifications you can

make to your leg locks,

which will prevent anybody from getting out of them.

Even black belts and juujitsu won't be able to escape.

So basically, uh, nobody will be safe from your

diabolical clutches.

And in video number four, I'll mostly make fun

of you and try to sell you things.

It's a good one. Let's start

by escaping your opponent's full mount, which is

not this awesome.

Stay focused. Stay focused.

Now this has nothing to do with the move

that I'm gonna show you today, but if somebody's on top

of you punching you in the face repeatedly,

at the very least, put your elbows in front

of the guy's thighs and bump your hips.

Now you can see Deontay had

to put his hands on the mat instead

of punching me in the face to catch himself.

That allowed me to reach up, tie him in tight

and at least delay.

Now of course, I still have to escape from here

and we're not going to escape from here today,

but maybe I can kind of hold the guy in here for long enough

or one of my friends to kick him in the face.

Now, if your violent friends are unavailable,

you're gonna have to escape yourself.

So let's get to it. Alright, to execute this escape today,

you're gonna need a movement called a scoot or a shrimp.

So I'm gonna show you that very quickly from your back.

One of your feet is going to drive into the ground,

pushing you onto the other hip, okay?

And then while you push on your hip, you're actually going

to slide your hips back

and away from the kind of direction you're pushing here.

Now of course you need to do this with somebody on top

of you, so it'll help if you do it maybe a little bit

more explosively.

So you can call this, uh, perhaps a power scoot

or a jumbo shrimp.

Hey, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, go ahead

and pause this video for a second

and shrimp around on your floor.

And if your floor is disgusting, clean it

so you can practice you filthy animal.

Alright, so let's escape from mount.

Enter our opponent's leg to shreds.

I'm gonna do that by scooting two times

in this direction away from the camera,

while also blasting deontay in the opposite direction.

So I'm just gonna straight up chest palm palm chest.

That doesn't make any sense. Gut check. Gut check.

That sounds good. I think I like that. Let's try it out.

I'm going to scoot my right foot

away from you guys while also gut checking D in the chest

as hard as I can.

Now, I'm actually gonna scoot twice while I do this off

of my right foot, so it'll look like this one.

Okay, now I do this

because typically with one scoot,

it's just not quite enough to get where I want.

One scoot D's still got balance, two suits.

Now all of a sudden that leg really comes out.

And again, I'm pushing him this way to take his weight,

which that was previously on this knee,

uh, over to the other side.

Scooting twice also makes it really easy for me

to get my elbow inside Deon's leg.

That's essential for making space for my knee to shoot

through, which is the next step.

Spoiler alert, I guess.

Now from this position where I've scooted twice, I need

to trap Deon's leg and make sure he does not get it back.

Now, in order to do that, the first thing I need to do is

to slide my bottom leg knee in up between his legs

and shoot that into him right there.

Now I have a shin to push into him to keep him back there.

Now my other leg, my foot is gonna clamp up on his

hip violently.

And now I have two things

to push into him in case he gets any bright ideas on the

sides, he wants to punch me in the face.

Of course, I'm trapping all this in tight,

pushing my armpit on his foot.

Now all I have to do is finish this heel hook.

Let no one off the hook, pun intended.

Now, even if you already know how to throw a heel hook,

I have some tricks and secrets that will make this move

as disgusting and devastating as it can possibly be.

So enjoy. Alright, now here's

where we can start unlocking every single bit

of disgusting potential from this little sequence.

So a heel hook is what's known as a twisting ankle lock.

Meaning quite simply that if I clam D's upper leg in place

and I twist his lower leg

and his heel, that's

what applies the move tearing his ankle ligaments

and then his knee ligaments or sometimes his knee ligaments.

First you never know.

Now, in order to heel hook anybody, you have

to have a bent leg.

So when I clamp my foot up on Dee's hip,

if his leg is straight,

I'm gonna drive my knee over violently this way

to put a bend in his leg.

Now, at the same time that I'm driving this over,

I'm actually going to push down with my armpit on his toes,

flexing my abs, the side that increases the angle

of the bend in his leg.

So here with deon's leg straight,

I can't even reach back and grab a heel.

There's no heel to grab. Clamp this, push this over.

Now I have a very easy bite on the guy's heel.

Once you have that, the mayhem can begin.

But first, now before I teach you the destructive

and diabolical part of this move, I wanna show you something

that's gonna help you at higher levels of heel hooking.

I want you to be the best h****r

that you can be while I want to bend deon's leg by clamping

and driving this knee down.

And while I usually wanna squeeze my legs together

to keep his upper leg in place so I can rotate the bottom

of it, I don't want to send him into his escape.

So in advance, guy to get out of the heel hook.

When I go to apply this thing, he's gonna turn

and spin in the same direction

that I'm applying the heel hook.

So if I over clamp this knee,

and if I really drive this down

and try to squeeze my knees together,

I'm sending him into his escape.

And we don't want to do that.

So the moment I get my foot clamped on the guy's hip,

I get enough of a leg bend to finish the he the hook.

And then all of my force

with this foot goes down into the mat.

I don't keep sending him this way, it's here and clamp.

And now D tries to escape. That's fine.

That's all the delay that I'm gonna need in order

to finish this move violently.

So we sacrifice some of the bend and some of the isolation

and squeeze of the upper leg in order

to make the move harder to escape,

which is a fair trade off if you know the best way

to apply your heel hook.

Now all heel hooks are going to rotate your opponent's foot

and ankle, and most people are going to do that

by reaching back and grabbing a gable grip with their hands

and using their forearm to bite onto the guy's heel,

which is sloppy.

Now the only problem with this is the upper part

of your forearm is kind of squishy and get sweaty sometimes.

So you go to grab this thing, sometimes it pops out,

you don't have a good enough grip on it

and it becomes problematic.

A good traditional heel h****r will actually use the blade

on his, on his wrist, the inside of his wrist

to catch the heel here, get a nice tight gable grip,

and then rotate the thing up towards his face this way.

Unfortunately, 95% of people don't do that.

They send their opponent directly into their escape again,

by clamping this reaching back

and then turning him in the direction that he wants to go.

And that doesn't make any damn sense.

Fortunately, my first grappling coach Dan Fisher,

devised a diabolical way of clasping the heel hook,

which makes it 10 times tighter

and way, way, way more destructive, at least seven times

more destructive or 70, 70 times.

Yeah. So here's the Dan Fisher method

to apply the heel hook, which is

so ridiculously tight and destructive.

That should probably make you sign a disclaimer.

Seriously, don't sue me.

So again, I got a nice bend on Deontay heel,

but right away I'm going to reach my left hand over

and grab the heel across my body as I drive down

with my armpit here.

Now, right off the bat, this is applying the move

and it's given me twist in the foot.

In fact, I could probably tap D out from there just

by again pushing this down

and all the rowing force of my left hand pulling up.

So without even adding the right arm in yet,

this method is tearing joints.

Now of course, I'm not gonna stop there.

Once I have this, I'm going to use my right arm

to again bite using my forearm.

Now also hooking on my hand

and then grabbing my own forearm.

Here on the other side, my hand is now an extension

of Deontay heel.

That extension gives you more leverage over the joint.

It gives you more to bite onto with your other arm.

And if you're wearing MMA gloves,

that pad then gives you another inch of leverage

and bite so there's no more slipping off of heel hooks.

And then you finish the lock. So I grab this up, boom.

Okay, and the, and there it goes.

And remember, all of this is done in less than two

seconds off of Mount Escape.

Alright, let's run through the escape into the heel hook.

So I'm gonna just blast Deontay hiss body to the left.

As I scoot out to the right boom two times

I slide this leg in, reaping the leg here, crunch down,

apply the heel hook one more time, full speed.

And then the fight is done. You can stand up and walk away.

Hey, how about some slow mo?

Now if you apply this move to completion,

usually when your opponent hear says joints explode

and all of his ligaments blow apart, he'll freak out, roll

around on the ground, call for help, scream,

cry, all that good stuff.

If your opponent is out of his mind

or if he's really drunk, he may attempt

to stand back up again and he may get back up on his feet,

but that leg will not be stable.

Now this move will tear the LCL lateral collateral ligament

or the ligament on the outside of your opponent's knee.

So if he should get up, kick him on the inside of his leg

and he will collapse to the ground, at that point,

he probably will not get back up again.

It's a bit intense,

but so are fights for your life, which are also much easier

to win if your opponent can't walk.

Leg locks are some of the grossest,

yet most fantastic self-defense weapons you can

possibly add to your arsenal.

And you can catch them from any position

before the take down from your guard when you're on top

of the guy, believe it or not, anywhere.

As I will show you in this little video series that I'm,

I'm currently starting, this is, this is the beginning.

It has begun.

I don't forget to check your

email in the next couple of days.

So you can tune in for video number two

where my coach Dan Fisher, is going to make a glorious cameo

and teach you how to crush people

with a leg lock from your feet in five seconds or less.

And, uh, it's gonna be awesome.

Now, if you haven't already done so, hey,

stab the like button as hard as your mouse will tolerate.

And if you know anybody who's into this stuff, by all means,

post this on their Facebook wall

and, uh, help a brother out.

We will both appreciate it.

And otherwise, I hope you learned a lot in

this video and you enjoyed it.

Have a fantastic day. I'll see you in video number two.

Yeah.
