a lot of schools don't teach leg locks until purple belt or high blue belt level you can get some instructional videos and practice with someone if you can't wait or just ask a higher belt to show u some stuff

ok thanks, as I am only a white belt.
I know you have to learn the basics but I just never seen anyone in my school do those type of moves

yea i would guess your instructor just doesn't allow them my friend trains at a school where the only leg lock allowed is achiles at my school however i was taught the kneebar on my 3rd day and we use all leg locks day to day (obviously we don't crank heel hooks or anything)
White belts in BJJ don't learn footlocks because most instructors agree you need to learn control, positioning and basic upper body subs before learning leglocks as they can cause a lot of damage unless executed cleanly, even more when executed cleanly in the case of a heelhook.

Heal hooks and ankle locks usually are not shown to begginners do to their lack of control. If you want to study them on your own I put about 30 of them on a video. I personally love to work the legs when I roll because most people do not practice ankle locks and do not know how to escape form them.
i went to this new school the other day and i rolled with this one guy there, he was pretty good and had lots of good control and decent guard passing abilities, but when i fall back for the achilles after passing his guard he had a look on his face like GOD FORBID and looked like he was scared, literally lost and did not know what to do. point is: learn leglocks.
