What Will You Learn? Learn The Art Of Leglocking - From The Ground Up! A Course Specific To People Who Grapple But Are Afraid To Try Leg Attacks Too many people are afraid of leglocks. They think that if they start training leglocks they are going to get injured or injure their partners. The problem with lower body attacks is that people do not know how to introduce them. Charles is here to give you his safe curriculum and show you how to adapt lower body attacks. So Who Is Charles Harriott? Charles is a Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu under Rinaldo Santos who is part of the Carlson Gracie Lineage. Charles is an avid martial artist who is also a black belt in Kenpo and Judo. He is also a professional break dancer. Being a passionate student of the martial arts, Charles was fascinated by the presence and evolution of leglocks in the bjj scene and decided to devote the majority of his time to lower body attacks. After spending hours upon hours and years learning leglocks, and competing in no-gi competitions, he found that the biggest mistake with leglocks is that they are not taught as a curriculum. People just learn one heel hook and one toe hold, but they never develop a safe approach to these attacks. They fail to learn a systematic approach and this makes them dangerous. How does he know that this is the biggest mistake people make? Charles decided to travel the world teaching, training, and learning Jiu Jitsu, and he became a BJJ Globetrotters instructor and has visited over 15 countries and trained at hundreds of academies. Here are just some of the places he was able to teach and train: Japan Taiwan Korea Vietnam Thailand Greece Italy Israel Netherlands England Hungary Romania Germany Austria Netherlands England Ireland During his traveling, he found that people were very intimidated by leglocks and neglected the technical and systematic aspects of them. That is why he developed his introductory leglock curriculum "Leglocks 101." In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, one of the most paramount parts of learning is being able to develop a systematic approach. Think about your first few BJJ classes and what you learned. Let's take the closed guard for instance. In closed guard, you are taught a sequence of moves so that you can chain attacks together safely. For example, you may learn the arm bar from closed guard; if they pull their arm out, you go to a triangle; if they get their head out, maybe an omoplata. You are learning a system. In this system, there are sub-systems and secondary options where you may be able to implement a sweep or something. When people are introduced to leglocks, they are not being taught systems because so many people neglect them. Many of us go to our academy, and we are randomly taught a heel hook or ankle lock from outside ashi or some other leg entanglement. We have no idea what reactions we may get or how to safely enter these submissions. What is the outcome? Now when we are rolling, the class spaz decides to try these newly learned submissions with no control and no system, and he hurts your leg. This may have happened because you did not know the mechanics, the escape, or because he did not have a system and did not know how to properly enter and apply this attack without hurting you. There is a HUGE difference between pressure and pain. That is why you need a system for your lower body attacks! Charles has spent years developing an easy to learn, safe, and extremely effective curriculum to safely introduce leglocks to anybody at any belt level, skill level, age, height, athletic level, and size. Not only is Charles a full-time BJJ athlete and instructor, he is also an extremely articulate and detailed instructor who uses conceptual and theoretical approaches that make learning easy. There is a saying in Jiu Jitsu that the best athlete in the world may still be a white belt at teaching. We can safely say that Charles is a Coral Belt in teaching. He has a way with words and details that people just love. That is probably why he has done nearly 50 seminars worldwide in the last 7 months. So, What's On The Series?
