This tutorial was all new information to me and I walked away with many new tools in my tool bag. I have a bunch of new counters and options to experiment with over the next few weeks. Thank you Joshua You.
Interesting
Instead of standard leg lock entries, this video teaches the “toe fold” — a twist on classic toe holds that is often easier to secure and finish from varied positions. These entries make the leg game more accessible and unpredictable.
I really appreciated how calm and technical the teaching is. It's all about angle, control, and understanding where the pressure actually comes from.

This is a smart instructional video that rewards careful studying. It's ideal for grapplers who enjoy technical depth and want to expand their lower body game beyond the basics.
The shin locks are taught with strong attention to safety and leverage, which is refreshing in an area that can easily be done wrong.
A great way to focus on control over strength.
You're constantly learning why a movement works, not just copying steps, which makes a huge difference when you try it during live rounds.
Joshua breaks down positioning, pressure, and alignment in a way that makes even unfamiliar attacks feel approachable.
Everything is clearly explained. Joshua doesn't rush through techniques or assumes you already understand the finer mechanics.
Josh starts with the fundamentals instead of jumping right into folds and locks. He explains how folds and locks actually work; posture, angles, and control points.
This video is one that makes you realize how much effective material exists outside of the usual leg lock conversations. Instead of focusing on the same heel hook, Joshua dives into toe folds and shin locks with a level of detail that makes these techniques immediately usable.
Great video with dual camera angle
Joshua contextualizes techniques. When to apply them, how to transition into them, and how to maintain control while minimizing risk to training partners.
Amazing ways of countering some of the subs using his techniques. Very well explained and great camera views with dual angles. One of the volumes seems to be filmed by a low resolution camera. Also, if u could clarify if the moves are legal under IBJJ F Gi competition, that would be great. Other than that, it was a great production and good editing effort. Enjoyed it much. Definitely worth a buy if u like leg submissions.
Joshua shines a light on lower body attacks that many ignore or misuse. The video emphasizes precision over power, showing how small adjustments in angle, pressure, and positioning dramatically increase effectiveness.
Joshua's teaching is tactical, intelligent and rooted in real-world rolling scenarios.
Joshua presents unique and effective techniques with clarity, precision, and purpose. I highly recommend this video for practitioners looking to add uncommon but legitimate lower-body attacks to their arsenal.
The details around entry points, grip adjustments, and common mistakes are especially helpful, allowing practitioners to apply the techniques safely and effectively.
The pacing and presentation are user-friendly. Techniques are demonstrated with crisp angles and repeated in slow motion, which makes grasping subtle grips and transitions much easier.
The foundation is invaluable because it helps you understand the submission structurally, not just react to it instinctively.
This video is focused on control and safety. Joshua emphasizes proper mechanics to minimize unnecessary strain while maximizing efficiency.
The toe folding information was very informative.
Toe Folds and Shin Locks by Joshua You is a well-structured and practical instructional that explores a lesser-covered but highly effective area of lower-body submissions. Joshua You does an excellent job breaking down concepts that are often overlooked or misunderstood, making the material accessible without sacrificing depth.
