What is Leg Lace in BJJ?

Quick Definition

A passing technique threading your leg through the opponent's guard like lacing.

Full Explanation

Leg lacing is a guard passing concept where you thread your legs through the opponent's guard, weaving them through like lacing a shoe. This is used to clear entanglements and pass tight guards. The concept is fundamental to body lock passing where you need to clear the opponent's leg hooks. Effective leg lacing requires hip movement and understanding of how to manipulate the opponent's leg position.
