Position · Leg Locks
Your legs lock around his hips and one leg: his leg runs between yours, your knees squeeze his thigh, and your feet close around his far hip, pinning the knee line. It is the most controlling leg-lock position — the same position as Cross Ashi Garami once your feet fully lock, named for the closed grip rather than the entry. Hold it with the knee squeeze, the locked feet and his heel trapped by your armpit. If he stops turning and the heel is open, finish the Heel Hook from Saddle; if he keeps the knee bent, the Calf Slicer; if he turns the knee in to roll out, the Inverted Heel Hook. He will try to roll with the rotation and kick your hips away with his free leg. In the saddle the knee is badly exposed: rotate slowly, and as the defender tap early rather than spin against the lock.
Outside ashi to saddle transitions, 10 each side; then positional rounds without finishes.
Heel hooks from the saddle are banned in the IBJJF gi and allowed only for brown and black belts in no-gi: check your rules.
Pick a position, then select a technique to see its trigger and what it unlocks. Icon = type of move. Color bar: green position, navy move, red submission, black chained finish.
