Robert Diggle

In this workshop, Robert will break down how to intelligently integrate leg locks into an existing Jiu Jitsu game — without abandoning positional fundamentals or overall strategic structure.

Rather than treating leg locks as isolated techniques, this workshop focuses on how lower-body attacks connect to guard retention, passing, sweeping, and back takes. Robert will outline clear entry pathways into dominant leg entanglements, explain control mechanics that prevent scrambles, and show how to transition seamlessly between upper- and lower-body threats.

Athletes will learn:

• Control principles that make leg entanglements stable and difficult to counter

• When to attack versus when to use leg threats to advance position

• How to blend heel hooks and other lower-body submissions into a complete NoGi system

The emphasis will be on timing, positional awareness, and decision-making — ensuring leg locks enhance your overall game rather than becoming a liability.

This session is ideal for practitioners who want to modernize their approach, improve finishing mechanics, and understand how elite competitors integrate leg attacks within a cohesive strategic framework.
