Here’s an example of a Leg Lock Escape done wrong, by Ronaldo Jr. against leg lock specialist Craig Jones.
Running away can be a good strategy to escape leg locks, as long as you clear your opponent’s grips first, otherwise you will just give your opponent the space he needs to entangle his legs and secure a superior position.

How leglocks and the way to apply them have changed in the last 20 years. I filmed this while editing the Oliver Taza No Gi Leglocks instructional which is now available at https://www.grapplearts.com/taza. Much of the terminology I use comes from The Modern Leglock Formula with Rob Biernacki (https://www.grapplearts.com/leglocks).

The 12 Positions of Modern Leglocking PDF I talk about in the video can be downloaded for free here: https://www.grapplearts.com/main-positions-modern-leglocking/

Also, just to be clear, many of the these ‘innovations’ were already being used by the great leglockers in the 1990’s including Erik Paulson and Oleg Taktarov (from whom I learned a TON), so what I’m really talking about is how these ideas have trickled down and become become more mainstream in the last 25 years.
