I'm 17 and i compete in grappling competitions. My specialty is leglocks yet i can't use anything outside of a kneebar and achilles lock. Why can't we use heel hooks or ankle locks? I think it's bullshit unless there is a really good reason for it

B/c they are dangerous and should be left to those who can controll themselves to minimize injury.

That also annoys me, im 17 and ive been training For ahwile and i really like leg locks, but i found that preparing for tournaments that dont allow them really improve my other techniques

You think not being able to use certain leg locks are bad... try being a female, 21, @ 100lbs and going to grappling tourneys regardless the level.. and being grouped in a weight class where u fight people like 30-50lbs heavier then you???

lol!
