■Ankle instruction for athletes who respect the rules of Jiu-JitsuThis book is not based on the concept of "aiming for an ankle submission in every situation", but also covers how to aim for "sweeps", "back takes" and "armbars" as second arrows depending on the situation.

2024 JBJJF All Japan No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Championship Brown Belt Featherweight Winner Known as one of the best leg lockers in Japan, Sudo wins many matches with leg locks, whether in Jiu-Jitsu, No-Gi or MMA. Sudo's leg locks are a killer technique, as he calmly assesses the development of the match and finishes off with perfectly timed strikes. His powerful leg lock techniques are packed with the essence of what can be learned by beginners and advanced fighters alike.

■Target audience for this instruction manual: -Ju-jitsu (with gi) competitors -Those who value the offensive and defensive aspects of the rules of jiu-jitsu and want to effectively use the ankle joint -Those who want to comprehensively learn how to deal with situations when they are unable to complete a submission

■Changes in the positioning of leg lock techniques In Jiu-Jitsu, there are restrictions on the leg lock techniques that can be used depending on the belt color.
・White/Blue/Purple belts ⇒ Foot lock only ・Brown/Black belts ⇒ In addition to the above, knee bar and toe hold

Due to the recent change in the IBJJF rules, brown and black belts are no longer restricted in the direction of inclination after catching the opponent's leg.
In addition, outside hooks and heel hooks are now allowed in the no-gi adult category, and the importance of ankle locks is only increasing with the popularity of grappling. The voices saying "ankle locks are wrong" are becoming fewer and fewer every year, and there is a demand for offense and defense that uses ankle locks correctly in accordance with jiu-jitsu rules.

■Commentary by a top athlete who is well versed in the rules Speaking of Sudo, he is famous for his success in MMA such as RIZIN and his brilliant achievements in professional grappling. In 2024, he won a fierce battle with Masakazu Imanari, a master of ankle locks, and established himself as the next generation of ankle lock masters. At the same time, in parallel with MMA and grappling, Sudo has also participated in many amateur tournaments in jiu-jitsu (with uniform) and achieved brilliant results.

Having achieved the top rankings in Japan in both the "white/blue/purple belt" and "brown/black belt" rules in a short period of time, Sudo is the only person suited to explain the theme of this work.

■Resolves specific problems with the ankle joint.Unlike after a guard pass, the position to aim for the ankle is by no means an advantageous position.Therefore, problems and troubles specific to the ankle joint are always present.

・When your opponent stands up ・When your opponent pulls on your sleeves ・When your opponent turns around and runs away

Many people have had the experience of being blocked by the opponent's defense, losing position, and having to pass the ball.
This book contains solutions for each case.

■Learn before you become a brown beltThis book focuses on foot locks and is useful for competitors of all belts.Many competitors at the white and blue belt level do not know the positions and escapes, so this will be a powerful weapon in a match.
Also, some Jiu Jitsu gyms allow toeholds/kneebars in sparring for purple belts and below, so be sure to learn the key points before you become a brown belt. After checking the gym rules and making arrangements with your opponent, we would be happy if you try out advanced toehold/kneebar techniques.

■A work that will bring about changes in the competitive level of Jiu-JitsuThis work will also play a part in eradicating the negative images that have been held about the ankle joint up until now, such as it being an unorthodox technique aimed at from above by people who cannot pass the guard, being prone to fouls, and being at the mercy of the opponent once you lose your position.

There has never been a systematic instructional book on the rules of Jiu-Jitsu before, and we promise that this will be a monumental work that will raise the competitive level of Jiu-Jitsu leg lock techniques.
