The Everyday Jiu Jitsu Podcast Ep 103: Leg Locks For Kids?
Apr 09, 2025 Season 1 Episode 103
Matt Kwan

Years ago, leg locks were considered taboo in the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. While they are widely accepted as effective and fair today, they still remain taboo for children. So naturally, I felt it my duty to think outside the box and begin teaching my kids competition team leg attacks! I discuss why leg locks are important for kids, training safely in the practice room, important tips and concepts, and my favourite leg lock games and drills for kids. I have now taught my kids leg attacks for one year… these are my findings.
