Estima lock

A foot lock that catches a foot planted on your hip or stomach. The twist is similar to a toe hold, but you produce it by rotating your trunk instead of your arms.

Key steps

  1. Hug their foot into your stomach as soon as they plant it on your hip.
  2. Lock your arms just above their ankle using the hand-to-biceps grip from a rear naked choke.
  3. Curl your shoulders forward to keep the edge of their foot flat against your belly.
  4. Rotate your chest slowly in the direction of their hips to finish.

Key details

  • The foot must stay flat against your body, or the twist has nothing to work against.
  • It comes on fast, so go slowly with training partners.
