Rank the basic leg locks in no gi grappling in terms of highest attempt/tap ratio, and easiest to initiate:
For me I would say:
#1. the inside toe hold that can be gotten from many different positions is the highest attempt to tap ratio, and very easy to initiate from multiple positions.
#2. Heel hook variations
#3. straight ankle locks
#4. achilles locks.

has anybody ever actually tapped somebody with a hip lock in a competitive tournament situation??? I'm not sure i've ever even heard of this happening. Especially in no-gi....Vince, do you think hip locks are even worth perfecting or training? Are they easier with the gi?

Good question/ point. I suppose that hiplocks are sort of like wristlocks in the aspect that to make one work you'd most likely have to apply it so hard and fast that it broke before your opponent had time to resist. If you give them time to resist then they just extend their powerful leg muscles out of it. However I find that good to flow right into what I was really setting them up for; some sort of leg submission.

I am training at Tony Galindo's Bull Pen here in San Diego, Ca.
They teach some of the best achilles locks i've ever seen. It's not really a straight ankle lock/achilles lock combo, but just an achilles lock from various positions. The way they teach the positioning is very effective in creating a quick tap. I know that Tony has put out a home made instructional for leg locks that he really just sells to his students. I'm going to try and get a copy.
