Energy System: Anaerobic Capacity

Difficulty: Development

Intention:

I got caught in a nasty ankle lock last Saturday. Naturally, I made myself a little more sore by going back to the position and trying to work towards a solution.

I couldn’t find a specific video for the solution(s) I’ve been playing with since then, but essentially the problem is the ankle lock / heel hook dilemma explained below. This is particularly true if the defender stays on the ground as in trying to get around to the attacker’s back.

Work:

~20 minutes various grip-fighting and hip control progressions (warm up)

~20 minutes of drilling butterfly guard entries to leg locks (creativity work)

~40 minutes of “bad position of choice” — I chose “any outside ankle lock”
