It’s a real ‘leveller’ – if a black belt is not familiar with heel hooks, then a white belt who is has a good chance of tapping them out.

Depending on how the lock is applied, the pain is felt in the shins, the ankle joint itself, or in the top of the foot and the toes. The straight ankle lock involves locking up the front part of the foot (the toes and the top of the foot) and immobilising the leg (usually by using your own legs to clamp on the opponent’s leg), then placing a fulcrum underneath the ankle joint and applying pressure by stretching the trapped toes and foot over the fulcrum. ![]() Your opponent finds that they have no way to escape and thus must either choose to submit (tap out) or go unconscious in the case of a choke or strangle, or risk a broken limb or injury to the joint in the case of a joint lock.
