The world of BJJ leg locks is vast, and the scales can tip in both directions instantly. One interesting leg lock<\/a> that can be used as a counter, even if you are caught in a bad position or when you are in a dominant one, is the Aoki lock. But what is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Aoki lock is a foot lock that works similarly to an inside heel hook by turning the foot outward and the heel inward. The applied linear and rotational pressure creates immense tension both in the ankle and knee of the attacked leg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Aoki lock is a crafty and unfertilized submission with almost the same potential as the inside heel hook but offers better control and looks more like an ankle lock. Not to mention, it’s one of the most annoying ways to get submitted while controlling someone from the Ashi Garami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Aoki lock is a leg lock attacking the ankle and the knee. The Aoki lock is a distinct submission in that the attacked foot position is externally rotated, the toes are under your armpit, and the heel is on your chest or ribs. By bridging slightly and applying rotation force, you force the ankle to twist in two directions, eliciting a tap or a severe leg injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>What Is An Aoki Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
