Spider Guard | 50-50 | Straight Ankle Lock

Initiate from spider guard, transitioning to a 50/50 guard and securing a straight ankle lock:

1. Start in spider guard, then move your foot from the opponent's bicep to the mat, creating an opening for them to attempt a Knee on Belly.
2. Allow the opponent to think they can pass, but maintain spider guard control to prevent the pass.
3. Bring your leg under and in front of the opponent's legs to enter the 50/50 guard position.
4. Hook your leg in the 50/50 position and find the angle to secure the ankle lock grip.
5. Release the spider guard and focus on the 50/50 grip, ensuring your hip is off the mat to maintain engagement.
6. Use a pendulum motion with your leg to create momentum and execute a backward roll.
7. Spread your legs, look up to the ceiling, and bring your shoulder blades together to finalize the ankle lock position.
8. Adjust your grip on the opponent's Achilles tendon, ensuring your elbow is close to your ribs.
9. Look up to the ceiling and make an "ugly face" (indicating effort) to apply pressure and secure the tap.
