Legs

​Don’t forget you have legs. This is one of the hardest things when people start Jiu Jitsu, and to some extent it’s why leg locks are so successful. Humans are really conscious of their upper body and not so conscious of their lower body. Most of the things you do with your legs, you don’t really think about. When you come to Jiu Jitsu, making sure you know what your legs are doing will significantly lower your output, and we all know efficiency is the name of the game. There is no guard without legs, no hip escape, and the submissions you can do that don’t involve legs are severely limited. If you have legs, please use them.
