Ankle Lock

Ankle Lock

The ankle lock is a submission technique targeting the opponent's ankle. It involves isolating the foot and causing hyperextension or twisting pressure on the ankle joint, leading to submission due to pain or potential injury.

Execution

  1. Control the opponent's foot and isolate their ankle.
  2. Position your body to apply leverage against the opponent's ankle joint.
  3. Apply pressure by pulling or twisting to force a tap-out.

Key Points

  • Maintain control of the opponent's leg throughout the move.
  • Ensure precise positioning to maximize leverage and efficiency.
  • Apply pressure gradually to avoid injuring training partners.
