    New Chapter! Leg Locks are a valuable asset to a submission game. Although, the self defense mindset does not focus on leg locks, they absolutely have their place and should be understood.

    Our mission is to master reference points. This is just simply one of the hundreds of possibilities. Why is this a valuable tool? Legs are weak. Ankles are weak. This is a limb on the human body that can snap, tear, or strain easily.
