I've heard of a guy who tied his opponent's shoelaces of his wrestling boots together while they were wrestling.

yep i think most BJJ (even those no gi schools) like guys to have a solid fundermental game before messing around with leglocks. Schools that introduce leglocks too early tend to have cr*p guard passing abilities and a not too tight top game and reply on the leg locks much to much, which is bad in grappling and even worse in an MMA setting.. I also agree with the Sambo comment, its been around for decades if it was going to make bid inroads in MMA it would have done so by now.
That's been my experience too. I was actively discouraged from trying footlocks in rolling as a white belt for those reasons ("No! Learn to PASSS THE GUARD!"). However in my school the higher blue belts are expected to have good knowledge of straight ankle locks and leglock defense (legal in comps at blue belt as well), and purples to be proficient with kneebars and some twisting footlocks.yep i think most BJJ (even those no gi schools) like guys to have a solid fundermental game before messing around with leglocks.
