Nasty Straight Ankle Lock From K Guard (It Gets Tight Quick!)

[@JoshMcKinney]

Thanks for letting me show that brother! If you guys have any questions about the technique feel free to ask under this comment.

[@Donteatme70]

Can’t wait to drill this!!

[@Mephistoau]

Great video man, really well explained - obviously a great instructor as well as general bjj practitioner. I don't hit K guard often, but will certainly give this a crack!

[@jackkempton4567]

Brilliant. Thanks Josh!

[@adamshahirkayoom]

Hi Josh, may I ask what did you mean at 2:03 mark of the video that you could move to you " 1 and 2 " ? Would you be able to post a video about that ?

[@rollinOnCode]

thank you josh for sharing! wow- that looks very interesting. how are you biting the ankle? is it just try to grab high? what is preventing them from turning their foot out? how are you directing your pressure to control the foot?

[@bolieve603]

Ah, nice. I caught a straight ankle lock today on a white belt since it's a pretty safe submission. He said it wasn't too tight but I really feel like tuning my straight ankle lock up since it's legal under most rule sets.

[@teejay411]

This is good. I appreciated that dip of the knee entry 🤙

[@rollinOnCode]

dang- this is really interesting! i am gonna have to try this ankle lock :)

[@medicineandbrazilianjiujit8511]

Thank you both!

[@mikeomnom]

Awesome details here! Thank you for sharing this.

[@illusionxmuta]

I love the details. But isn't this a type of X guard and not K guard?

[@vhp310]

its modified x with a kguard hook/half butterfly to half butterfly ashi when you get them down. I just literally asked my instructor this exact question

[@elliottexplodes]

Taking notes!

[@1pretoria]

I wonder if in nogi, instead of grabbing lapel could you punch your hand up high across the chest to upper pec and hold would still work? Thanks. Great video

[@JoshMcKinney]

In no gi you can enter the position by playing two on one from your guard. Both of my hands on one of theirs while both of my thumbs are pointing toward me(I hope that makes sense). Then, You can finish it very similarly by just resting your palm on your own belly instead of grabbing your own lapel. You just have to keep your arm very high on your belly(even up to your chest).

you know what’s weird two nights ago I had a dream I was training with you guys you asked if Burton showed us leg locks off of imanari rolls in the dream and then woke up.

Thank you

[@rud69420]

K guard has both feet outside the hips though? Isn't this modified x guard?

[@savorthepassion]

I've been really working open guard leg attacks on standing opponents. Soon as I can train again THIS is happening

[@Eleven-dk4be]

Gosh damn lol that's cool

[@JiuJitsu9009]

Can white belts use this in IBJJF comps?

[@svish5790]

A lot of k-guard talk, but isn't most of that x-guard?

[@teejay411]

Same same, but different.

[@JoshMcKinney]

The foot place is slightly different and it changes a lot of the attacks you can go for. But they do look very similar as a position.

[@teejay411]

Two feet crossed on the far leg = X guard One wrap on far leg, one on the near leg = K guard Again, great video. I watched it a couple times through and picked up different details each time

[@svish5790]

@@teejay411 oh ok. Thanks

[@andrewferris1903]

The Aokilock isn't an inside heel hook, it doesn't use any of the same leg entanglement principles. All good leg locks use twisting force, isolating their heel on your chest stops them from booting and creates the torque for rotational pressure. There's nothing illegal about it as the rules stand, "straight ankle locks" haven't been straight ankle locks for years already.

[@franciscoramos7339]

He needs a KZbin channel… Very nice ankle lock¡

[@coreyedwards187]

Hes got one...give him a follow.

Right here brother! I post a lot more technique on my Instagram @thejoshmckinney

[@TheGrapplingNinja]

i dont think it feels like inside heel hook pressure too much Edit like I see it can mimic the pressure but I think it’s hard to get proper breaking mechanics for an inside heel hook there

[@linusji1732]

I've been doing this all these years but always thought it's X guard

[@luwinson3047]

Damn same here, my coach actually taught us as a x guard combo years ago haha

[@cucciafr68]

It seems to be a K guard / x guard hybrid. If the foot of the leg doing the k guard switches to the far hip then it becomes a full x, at least in my opinion.

[@alifuller1658]

Hey man Teach me that I want to know how to do that to somebody 😜

[@TheGrapplingNinja]

mikey lock

[@elperronimo]

Dang I thought josh was gonna be short

[@JoshMcKinney]

I'm a lot shorter in person. The high heels I'm wearing in this video make me look taller.

[@無主-f2z]

talk to ramsey dewey, chewjitsu! make video together!

[@MangoTheRetriever]

Nice!
