Capizzi Lock : Legs to Leg Defense and how to Guillotine the Ankle

Transitioning to a foot lock from the C-Lock when the opponent defends against a heel hook:

1. Start by forcing the opponent's feedback, making them bring their heel to their butt, and secure the C-Lock.
2. If the opponent flees backwards and extends their leg to defend, preventing the submission, re-roll them to maintain control.
3. When the opponent's leg is extended and they are pushing away, focus on the non-entangled foot that is exposed.
4. Grab the middle part of the opponent's foot to the toes and trap it in your armpit, ensuring a snug fit like a puzzle piece.
5. Use the back of your wrist, similar to a guillotine choke, to apply pressure to the ankle, moving it in an unusual direction that is not commonly practiced.
6. Be cautious with the pressure applied to the ankle to avoid injury to your training partner.
7. If the opponent steps on you while extending their leg, take this as an opportunity to trap their toes, preventing further extension.
8. Shape your wrist to pop the opponent's foot out, using their own extension against them.
9. Keep the heel trapped and apply pressure with your wrist to the back of the ankle for a strong submission.
10. If the opponent is strong and resistant, you can bail out of this position and either climb for their back or attempt to reapply the C-Lock more securely.
11. Multitask with your body: one arm attacks, the other fences for the back, and your legs trap, making it difficult for the opponent to problem-solve.
