About this video

Defensive posture against an outside Ashi Garami and heel hook:

  1. Maintain the knee outside the line of the hip and ankle to prevent heel exposure. This alignment should be constant, with the knee staying on the outside.
  2. Press the heel inwards and curl the toes immediately upon recognizing the opponent's attempt for a heel hook. This makes it difficult for the opponent to secure the heel hook.
  3. If the opponent attempts to reposition for the heel hook, stop their movement, adjust your position, and return to the defensive posture.
  4. Compare this defensive mechanism to tucking the chin when someone takes your back. It's a fundamental defensive action that doesn't solve the problem entirely but is the first step in defense.
  5. Even if the heel hook is deep, the same defensive posture applies. As the opponent goes for the heel hook, you should already be engaging in the defensive mechanic.
  6. Just like hand fighting and tucking the chin can buy time when defending against a Rear-Naked Choke, maintaining this defensive posture in an outside Ashi Garami can prevent immediate danger and give you time to work on escaping.

This defensive posture is recommended as an immediate response to an outside Ashi Garami to prevent heel exposure and protect against heel hooks.
