In this video, I’m going to show you how to attack a straight foot lock from the 50/50 position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We’re starting from K Guard, a position I covered in a previous video, and working our way into backside 50/50. I’ll go through the grips, body positioning, and the adjustments I use to get control of my partner’s leg and set up the submission.
One of the important details with this foot lock is getting the right position on the Achilles and controlling the knee while you finish. I’ll show you how I use the butterfly hook to make adjustments and create a better finishing position. We’ll also look at what happens when your partner reacts with a backstep and how you can continue attacking the foot lock from that situation.
These straight foot lock options can be used in both Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, and the techniques I demonstrate are legal from white belt through black belt under the rules discussed in the video. If you’re working on your 50/50 guard, K Guard, or leg lock game, give these details a try during training. Check out my previous K Guard video for more details on the starting position, and let me know in the comments if there’s another BJJ technique you’d like to see next.
