Volume 10, Reverse Pathways and Ankle Clamps
Most leglock attacks start by controlling the leg entanglement position first and then moving on to the actual finish second. The reverse pathway approach turns that paradigm on its head; in a reverse pathway approach, you start by controlling the foot at the end of the lever and only then shooting into position for the submission. Submissions applied in this manner come on QUICK and POWERFUL, making this an approach all serious competitors need to be aware of.

Fortunately, there are tried and true methods you can use to shut down his rolling back completely take, end up on top, or even improve your position to apply even more devastating leglocks.

Who is Stephan Kesting?
My name is Stephan Kesting. I’m the producer and co-teacher of Cutting Edge Leglocks and have been doing leg locks since WAY before they were considered cool (check out the video above for proof).
I’m a BJJ black belt and have been doing martial arts for over 41 years, including many grappling arts like sambo, judo, submission wrestling and shoot wrestling.
I’ve been teaching online for a long time. My Youtube videos about BJJ have over 60 million views, I’ve sold tens of thousands of instructional DVDs and apps, and millions of people have visited my Grapplearts website.
The very first leglock I ever learned was shown to me by Dan Inosanto in the early 1990s; I have trained extensively with leg lockers like Erik Paulson, Oleg Taktarov, Marcus Soares, and others. So this has been an area of particular interest to me.
Leglocks have allowed me to beat BJJ black belts, win competitions and feel like an ace was up my sleeve when facing a really tough opponent.
So with all that leg lock experience, I feel like I”m in a good position to judge, and I can confidently say that Cutting Edge Leglocks is the most ground-breaking leglock instructional I’ve ever seen.
