Shin-to-Shin Entry and Weight Distribution
The instructor establishes a shin-to-shin position with an overhook on the opponent's Achilles tendon while keeping the opponent's knee on the practitioner's stomach. By falling back and shifting weight, the opponent's weight transfers to their hands, creating an opening to shoot the leg through and establish control.
Hip Elevation and Sweep Setup
After shooting the leg through, the practitioner jumps the hips upward to gain elevation and positioning advantage. From this elevated position, the practitioner can initiate sweeping attacks or transitions while maintaining control of the opponent's leg.
Heel Hook Entry via Elbow Manipulation
The instructor slides the opponent's elbow backward until the heel pops onto the practitioner's thumb while maintaining knee pinching. The practitioner keeps elbows tight and hands high, then hips into the leg to create the heel hook finish position with proper ankle control.
Seated Heel Hook Transition
From the elevated position, the practitioner sits up and slides down to the opponent's foot, coming around the knee to establish a heel hook. The practitioner dips on the opponent's foot with steering control, then passes the leg inside while pulling the foot toward the body to finalize the lock.
Finishing Options and Foot Locking Variations
The heel hook can be finished by locking the feet together or using a stomping motion to increase pressure. The practitioner can also transition to a 50/50 position with shotgun control as an alternative finish or escape route.
Triangle Foot Defense and Counter Responses
When the opponent triangles their feet defensively, the practitioner pulls the knee open and brings the elbow toward the hip to split the legs. The heel is then repositioned onto the practitioner's thumb, allowing for continued lock application either with pinched knees or with knees on the mat.
Wrist Control and Pinning Strategy
When the opponent escapes the foot triangle, the practitioner clubs and scoops to pursue the opponent's wrist, then applies knee pinching. Maintaining firm wrist control prevents the opponent from pushing back and re-establishing position, allowing continued heel hook attack setup.
Swimming Through and Secondary Heel Hook Finish
The practitioner swims through to pass the opponent's wrist and repositions the hand toward the shoulder to set up the final heel hook. Once the grip is secured, the practitioner turns sharply to force a tap or break the opponent's ankle.
Back Fall Escape and Leg Repositioning
If the opponent falls back and removes their arm from the break, the practitioner slips the legs through and pulls them toward the body while roofing to the outside. This repositioning maintains pain control and allows transition to the next phase of the leg lock sequence.
Final Crunching Pressure and Heel Extraction
When the opponent sits up, the practitioner places the leg on the shoulder and steps out to access the knee immediately. The Achilles tendon is positioned in the elbow pit, and the practitioner drops the hip to the mat while crunching inward until achieving proper positioning under the heel for final lock application.
