Leglock Results In Catastrophic leg break: Tibia and Fibula Fracture At Lower Shin

 

 

Miyao brothers might not tap to leglocks but you should definitely.

Recently two grapplers duked it out to awful results. The tibia broke when the heel hook was applied in the video below.

The heel hook is generally considered to be a very dangerous leg lock, with a high rate of injury, especially to ligaments in the knee. It is banned, except in advanced competition, in many combat sports featuring other leg locks such as Brazilian jiujitsu and Sambo. Where it is allowed, holding it for too long is considered a serious infraction.
