Leg Locks Are Fake by Dima Murovanni

What Will You Learn?

Dima Murovanni presents a completely fresh approach to the leg lock game in this 4-part instructional. Part 1 covers the foundational movement concepts and three major focus points — upper body, lower body, and reverse engineering the leg break — plus detailed grip systems including Achilles grips, heel grips, active focus, heavy leg, and shoulder line weighting. Part 2 is a speedrun through every major leg lock submission including footlocks, heel hooks, Aoki, Woj lock, kneebar, toehold, Z-lock, and Tren lock. Parts 3 and 4 introduce a game-based training methodology for developing late stage escapes and mid stage positional dominance with specific games for both attackers and defenders.
