Dima Murovani: This "Unnatural" Footlock Variation Feels Like CHEATING

If you ever feel like you're squeezing with all your might on an ankle lock, only for your training partner to easily stand up or peel your legs off, this video was made for you. The problem isn't your strength; it's your mechanical distance.

In this masterclass, Dima Murovani (one of Europe's top Jiu-Jitsu minds) sits down with Bernardo Faria to break down the "Trend Lock." By simply repositioning your legs below the opponent's knee, you trap their foot in a "short room"—instantly doubling your breaking pressure while completely neutralizing their hip defense.

The best part? Because your feet stay strictly below the knee line, this devastating system is 100% legal for all belts in both Gi and No-Gi (IBJJF, ADCC, etc.). Stop fighting their whole body and learn how to isolate the ankle like a pro.
