..Down down down into a burning outside leg triangle and it hurts hurts hurts!the outside leg triangle!

[lifeinkansas]

really like the details showing it slow enough to get it and showing other things that can happen. also you kept on topic and showed the same lock from 3 or 4 places. love it need more of it . thanks for a great video

What are the advantages of that outside leg triangle compared to the "regular" achilles hold position? What techniques are good to do from there? A link to some techniques and ideas would be great.

LOL...you saw the shirt! That shirt is vintage, but I say their current good fortune is because I wore the shirt in the video!

[EvanChaim]

Thanks for the counters!

[GrapplersRus]

Sweet!

[MEGALEF]

That's not a gable grip.

[sambosteve]

Yeah, I locked my thumbs...

[sambosteve]

Technically, it is not a 50/50 until he brings my leg across his body also.

That was my thought as well, we called it the re-hook counter and it almost ALWAYS wins against a straight leg attack (Right to Left)

Because you already have that leg crossed (Right to Right), the heelhook attack is much stronger than when you attack to finish it.

nice Steve, great stuff. Man, I miss training leg submissions so much. Love the soundtrack too :)

[sambosteve]

Yeah, I miss ankle locking you :)

[3moose1]

Hey, if they have their legs triangled, what keeps you from just hooking and going for the ankle lace, instead of waiting for them to "straighten out"?

[sambosteve]

His legs will usually be stronger then your arms and tougher to move. Easier to make him move the leg himslef by causing some pain.
