are they harder to do than they seem? im only about to start bjj classes so at the moment ive just rolled around with my friends, but im usually able to get them quite easily. particularly the achilles lock and the toe hold ankle lock

they would seem like a good move to go for if your opponent has an open guard (the last gamburyan fight) or if your standing and their on their back and theyve got their legs up to defend themselves. it appears that you could just grab a leg and go for a submission
