Leg Drag Pass Counter | Footlock

Counter the leg drag pass with a footlock when the opponent tries to block the spin underneath:

1. Initiate a spin underneath your opponent. As they block with their bottom leg, grab it and hide your foot.
2. Bring your knee over their hip, placing your shin across their hip to create a barrier that keeps their hips back.
3. Adjust your position by placing your hand on the mat, closing your elbow, and moving your head slightly to the center.
4. For the ankle grip, bring your arm in and turn your thumb out to expose the blade of your wrist against their foot.
5. Hold onto their foot, move to the inside, and secure your grip on their leg. Reinforce the grip with your other hand if needed.
6. Close your elbow tightly, widen your knees, and let your weight drop, applying pressure straight down into their foot.
7. Ensure your elbows are closed and expand your chest before dropping your weight to finalize the footlock.
8. Remember, as long as you control their foot, they cannot take your back. If you need to disengage, maintain control of the foot to prevent their technical stand-up.
9. If you decide to abandon the footlock, you can always return to your original position, attempt the sweep again, or transition to a pass.

Maintain strong control throughout the technique, keeping your elbow tight and your weight focused into your hands as you drop down to apply the footlock.
