John Danaher reveals why your straight ankle locks aren't finishing, and explains the "modern" BJJ ankle lock system that makes escaping impossible.
If you are tired of opponents "putting on the boot," sitting up, and easily escaping your leg locks, you are likely attacking the wrong target. In this exclusive video, BJJ mastermind John Danaher sits down with Bernardo Faria to explain the massive evolution of the straight ankle lock in No-Gi Jiu Jitsu.
For years, grapplers were taught to attack the Achilles tendon—relying mostly on pain compliance. Today, John Danaher explains why that is an outdated concept. He reveals the exact "Sweet Spot" mechanics used by elite submission grapplers to target the front ligaments of the foot, creating a devastating break that cannot be muscled out of.
Whether you are a white belt looking for your first reliable leg submission, or an older hobbyist trying to tap out younger, stronger athletes without using strength, this is a mandatory upgrade for your BJJ leg lock system.
