👉 The leg weapon, also known as the leg lock or leg tripper, is a close-quarters combat technique used to immobilize an opponent by applying pressure to their legs. This is typically achieved by wrapping one leg around the opponent's waist or thigh, often with the foot pointing inward or outward to maximize leverage. The attacker then uses their body weight and strength to twist or pull the leg, effectively restricting movement and potentially causing pain or injury. Leg weapons are effective in close combat situations due to their ability to quickly incapacitate an opponent and can be used to control or subdue them without the need for additional weapons. Proper technique and timing are crucial to avoid injury to oneself while maximizing the weapon's effectiveness.
