CACC Toe Holds to Knee Bar Lockflow

By: Catch wrestler on Friday, June 12, 2009

Here is a lockflow that goes from a Ball and Chain toe Hold to a Gotch Toe Hold to a Kneebar.
Hope you enjoy.

Step over and wrap his leg with your left leg then grab inside of his tigh with your right hand for the ball and chain position
grab his toes with your left hand and toe hold
grab on top of his far ankle with your right hand
Stretch him out and grab his toes with your left hand
be sure to secure his near leg by locking it with yours and press for the Gotch Toe Hold
If your opponent turns in a attempt to bring you to half guard...
press your head on his far hip and underhook his left leg
over hook his right leg. Cross your ankles and stretch down until you find his knee for the kneebar

beautiful! i like this chain because it shows how NUMEROUS opportunities for toe holds exist if you understand the principles behind it.

Great chain. Gotch would also get pins from his "Famous Toe Hold" when opponents would roll to their backs.

This we'll work on our next training session. Toe holds are great, becoming a staple of mine with the bicep cutter.
And hey, thanks Reilly!

Great post Kris. Thanks for putting that up. Excellent details on the kneebar. I find myself in that position sometimes off an outside leg trip and this I hope will help me finish more often right off the takedown.

Thanks Brian.
This is an excellent follow up to the outside leg trip. plus there is no need to over engage in it,so if the kneebar fails, you simply slip off to the side and go about your business.
