My Favorite Heel Hook!

[Brian R. VanCise]

This is my favorite Heel Hook. I like the fact that I can force the lock rather than having to wait to apply it. I also find this one very, very easy to get on more experienced grapplers.

Here I am teaching in at our Michigan IRT Headquarters!

Shout out to Daniel Weidman for showing me this one!

I use a similar set up for a straight ankle lock. Couple of key differences (besides the finish). I bring the knee up to the inside and attack the other leg. Main difference is competition rules. I mostly attack the knee, the Achilles or go with a toe hold. Don't work on the heel hook like I should.

Thanks for sharing.

I like all the time put into discussing getting into it--minimizing your chance of being hit, hitting him--which is where people so often go wrong on techniques like this!
