Inside heel hook

A rotational leg lock that attacks the knee from the inside of the leg. It's most often finished from the saddle or 50/50.

Key steps

  1. Control their leg from the saddle or 50/50 with your knees pinched.
  2. Wrap your arm around their foot so the heel is held tight against your body.
  3. Lock your hands together close to the heel.
  4. Keep their knee trapped and turn your upper body slowly to finish.

Key details

  • Control their knee first; if it slips past your hips, the lock weakens.
  • Keep your grip on the heel; holding the foot only twists the ankle.
  • Turn with your torso, not just your arms, and do it slowly.
