Marcelo Garcia: Escaping Straight Ankle Lock

Advanced II Lesson Part 1 of 4 -- Marcelo escapes from the straight ankle lock. If your opponent pauses after encircling your ankle with their arm, deliver a kick with your free leg as you slip your foot out of the hold heel first towards center-line. However, if your opponent snatches your ankle as they drop back for the finishing pressure, immediately look to sit-up and come up on top. Interfere with your opponent's ability to bite down on your leg by removing their outside leg from your hip; you can also grab onto their lapels or even their arm to help defend against the Straight Ankle-Lock. Either work to pull your foot out from underneath the opponent's armpit and bring it back to safety, or vault over top of their inside leg into the Mount Position.

Curious about this in No gi? Because there's no collar to grab to keep from falling back

[@quinnstaugler]

I like to Come up and when I'm in that position where he grabs the collar.. in no gi I like to plum behind their head , a can opener type grab if you can get that . As you put pressure on neck turning there head into you , it will help you be able to pass and make them want to let go of ankle
