Other Robert Degle Instructionals
If you enjoyed studying this course a good next step would be these courses. In fundamental leglock defense you will learn the basics of good defense against the modern NoGi leglock meta. In advanced leglock defense and counters you will learn how to deal with high level attacks before ultimately sequencing into your own counters.
In the complete Kani Basami to Cross Ashi leglock system study 2 instructionals at a reduced cost which naturally sequence together: the Kani Basami entry into the legs and the Cross Ashi Garami position.
