slide lock kneebar

building further on the leg control positions article i wrote previously (http://lockflow.com/article_view.php?id=3801) and the follow up article on the safety catch i wrote (http://lockflow.com/article_view.php?id=4344), in this video i explain a fun option for when you lose the ankle after achieving position '4b' or 'the slide lock' as we like to call it.

(note: the number system and names for these positions are simply the for teaching method, and to make it easy to speak about leg control concisely when training. these numbers and names have no relevance outside of my club, and are in no way standard terminology for sambo or leg locks.)

• setting up the slide lock

your foot has caught him in the safety position
• step 2

he tries to roll the other way to relieve the pressure so you let go of his ankle and grab his other free ankle.
• step 3

position both of your legs over his leg, now you are in the slide lock
• the mistake

but in doing so you some how lost the leg you were attacking, and it is no longer under your armpit. drat!
• kneebaaaaah

so you push his foot away from you as your pull your hips in tight and hold his leg still with yours, forcing a mean kneebar on the unfortunate fellow.
