Have you ever been in an ankle lock? I practice Jiu Jitsu and I learned this a long time ago. I remember my coach was performing it on me and as soon as he started to crank my ankle it felt like it was exploding.

whats really weird is that i just started traning bjj two months ago, i use this sub all the time in my rolling matches ad get the sub every time- but no one has ever done it to me

[agmart100]

that dude was totally reaping the knee

@daveshn it hooks under the leg and pushes the glute helping extend the leg straight and keeping the from defending

[daveshn]

Where is the submitter's left foot? Does it hook the other leg? Press the glutes/hamstring? Or does it just go where ever?

@laokon Oh ya - totally agreed. It is less effective for sure. That's why it is always easy for me to remember - the legal/proper way is ironically less effective!

@JimmyReno1 [Quote] Still... good to see someone said something intelligent on here [/Quote] Thanks ^^

ok, As said i didn't remeber my first comment, i thought i mentioned also Kudo, my actual disciplin where both are allowed. No recall however about the bbj white belt one :O even if it sounds familiar :p.

So only inside-out. I'll keep that in mind, even if it seems less effective to me.

Kind regards

@laokon You had just wrote that they are illegal in white belt divisions (which is true). The rule is the exact opposite of what you say though. You are only allowed to cross from inside out, not outside in. This is sometimes called "reaping the knee", and is illegal in most rule sets, not just the very restrictive IBJJF rules).

Still... good to see someone said something intelligent on here.

@JimmyReno1 Sorry i can't my first comment on it, so i don't know what i wrote exactly. But if you cross from inside it a knee twist, that i'm 100% sure, from the outside it should be allowed since you're not twisting the hip or the knee at all. Basically you say the only way would be by just pressing your knees together to block the oponents leg?

[JimmyReno1]

@laokon White belt division or not, I'm pretty sure the way this is shown is 100% illegal in higher belt divisions as well, due to his ankle crossing over the hip. The guy executing this technique needs to be on his own right side so there is no pressure on his opponent's knee, and he can never put his own foot on the inside of the hip of the leg being attacked.

I think he is aware of this though, as he tries to emphasize that this is for "MMA" (and accidentally slips in BJJ - maybe nerves).
