Hi, my name is Enrico Cocco and I started training in Jiu Jitsu when I was 13 years old back in 2001.
I started training leg locks that same day!! Back when almost no one was doing them.
Back before they were "Cool" and popular like they are now!
I started my training at FFA (Freestyle Fighting Academy) under Marcos and David Avellan....and I made it up the ranks pretty fast.
At age 14 I was tapping out grown men, mostly with leg locks!
They even called me a phenom!
I don't know about that...but what I do know is this...
Everyone was terrified of leg locks...
Sometimes they would even tap before I had the full submission in!
It was amazing...
From that time forward I made it my goal to master the leg lock game and keep this as my weapon for my whole career...
One thing boggled me though...
Why in the world were almost NO other schools training them?
