Capizzi Lock : Legs to Arm from the Crucifix Position

Executing the Capizzi Lock from the crucifix position involves a series of steps to control and submit the opponent by attacking their arm with your legs.

1. Start by putting the crucifix on in a reversed manner, which allows for new submission opportunities.
2. Curl your foot around the opponent's forearm, pointing your knee to the floor to facilitate a clean scissor grip on their forearm.
3. Trap the opponent's hand right behind your knee, using your leg to scissor over their wrist.
4. Test the effectiveness of the position by scissoring your legs and observing the opponent's involuntary response.
5. Open your legs out into a V shape, grounding one foot against your opposite calf and placing the other foot on the floor to create an anchor.
6. Extend the foot that's on the floor into the opponent's arm to apply pressure and potentially secure a submission.
7. If necessary, use your hands to assist in positioning the opponent's arm at the beginning, but aim to use only your legs to scoop and control the arm as you become more proficient.
8. The ultimate goal is to entangle the opponent's arm so effectively that raising your foot can cause significant damage to their arm.

This technique showcases how leg dexterity can be used to create a powerful submission from the crucifix position, targeting the opponent's arm with precise and controlled movements.
