Pillars of Defense: Leg Locks to Back Takes by Gordon Ryan

• Learn to not only defend leg locks from a wide range of entanglements, but also consistently expose your opponent’s back for high-percentage backtakes!
• Gordon explores preventative leg lock defense from a wide range of entanglements including Irimi Ashi, outside ashi, cross ashi, 50/50, and more!
• Develop contingency plans for each reaction with Gordon’s easy-to-follow system that severely limits your opponent’s options, and allows for fast and decisive movements to take your opponent’s back.
• Build confidence in your ability to consistently defend leglocks even from the deepest and best leg entanglements.
• Deal with tricky inversions from Irimi Ashi with rolls, half rolls, and hip drop backtakes!
• Fire back against opponents with your own heel hook attempts that force opponents to give up their back!
• Know More. Win More.
