6x ADCC World Champ Atos HQ Head Coach Andre Galvao teaches a Sweet Leg Entanglement to The Viper Heel Hook Sub, during the competition class on 03/30/2021.

The best way to play guard in BJJ is attacking the legs with a type of leg entanglement. This type of attacks will help you to sweep, attack, control and submit your opponents.

Everyone loves to Heel Hook! With the rise in popularity of BJJ in recent years, the popularity of Heel Hooks rose as well, with professional athletes using them to win not just matches but entire tournaments. It’s needless to say that if this "Leglock" isn’t a part of your BJJ skill-set, then it’s about time that it does.

Andre Galvao is one of the greatest BJJ athletes of all time, with 6 IBJJF World Championship titles, 10 IBJJF Pan American Championships, and 6 ADCC World Championship titles (4x as the ADCC Super Fight Champion). He received his black belt from Luis “Careca” Dagmar, having also worked extensively with Fernando Terere. Galvao is also a former mixed martial artist, with an MMA record of 5-2-0, before he retired to lead the Atos Jiu-Jitsu Academy's Headquarters in San Diego, California.

Today, Atos is considered one of the best jiu-jitsu academies in the world, producing World Champion athletes at all levels, from juvenile and white belt all the way to black belt. Galvao's mission with Atos BJJ On Demand is to share the lessons, and experiences he has acquired competing and coaching over the years.
