Leglocks have been around for a long time, but modern grapplers use them in slightly different contexts than classical grapplers. Here’s how a submission grappler might link a takedown and a match-ending ankle-lock…
(This technique is from the Submission Grappling vs. Classical Ju-Jutsu article on Grapplearts.com)
 |
Stephan squares off against his opponent. |
 |
He shoots in with a double leg tackle, gripping behind the knees and driving forward. |
 |
His opponent falls backwards and tries to use his open guard to fend off the attack. |
 |
Stephan falls back, encircling his opponent’s ankle with his right arm and controlling his leg with his left shin and right foot.. |
 |
Leglock detail – Stephan is applying the lock right at the ankle, just above the heel. This hyperextends the top of the foot and crushes the Achilles tendon. |
 |
He now applies the ankle lock by arching backwards, using the power of his back and legs to apply the lock |
