The most comprehensive and detailed instructional on the Z lock
In this instructional I outline my complete Diagonal Ashi Garami & Z lock instructional that I have been working on for the last 2 years. I truly believe the Z lock and its associated system of control points and submission attacks is the logical future of the leglock meta.
More than any other leglocking strategy the Diagonal Ashi and Z lock allow us to remain safe from counter leglocks and solve the problem of defensive hip movement by allowing us to adhere to the principle of double trouble while we execute devastating leglock submissions.
