If you were lucky enough to watch the Combat Jiu-Jitsu Featherweight tournament over the weekend, you probably saw BJJ legend Masakazu Imanari make it to the semifinals with his slick heel hook game. Although Imanari didn’t win the whole thing, his incredible display of technique made lots of us want to get right back on the mats and drill heel hooks for ourselves, and now, you can learn how Imanari himself made it so far at the event.
In this video, ZombieProof BJJ‘s Kent Peters does a breakdown for one of Imanari’s heel hook finishes at CJJ, escaping from beneath his opponent to grab the leg and come away with the win. Check it out for yourself and see if you can pull off a similar victory at your next tournament!
