Working through resistance: nicky Ryan works on his leg locking skills in sparring tonight. It is never enough to know only the mechanics of the moves you employ – you must be able to apply the moves against knowledgeable resistance – this will be the standard by which you will be judged in competition. Here, Mr Ryan takes his time to control his opponent's movement through skillful application of an ashi garami variation. Now he will deal with each line of resistance in turn until he can get to the actual application of the lock and secure the finish.
