NoGi Ankle Locks To Heel Hooks by Diego Pato
Most grapplers treat the straight ankle lock as the submission they settle for, and Diego Pato turned it into the doorway to the heel hook.
A five-time IBJJF World Champion, two-time IBJJF No-Gi World Champion, Pan Champion and two-time ADCC medalist, Diego Pato is one of the most decorated light featherweights the sport has ever produced, and the straight ankle lock is one of the two submissions he is best known for. Here he steps out of the gi to teach the leg lock concepts he uses in training and competition.
In No-Gi Ankle Locks To Heel Hooks, Pato starts with what a finishing ankle lock actually requires, then shows how to enter the position, how to pass and keep the grip while your opponent fights it, and how that same grip walks you into the heel hook. This isn't a leg lock highlight reel, it's one connected path from the entry to the finish.
The course also carries his own stamp. The Pato Lock and the Kiss of the Tilapia finish sit right next to the Kiss of the Dragon entry, along with how to break the posture of an opponent who is defending well and how to apply the same mechanics from everywhere else.
Leg locks fail for most people at the same place: the grip dies the moment the opponent starts to move. Pato's answer is not a stronger squeeze, it is understanding what the grip is doing and where the finish is hiding when the ankle lock alone is not enough.
If your leg attacks stall out against anyone who knows how to defend, the problem is usually the connection between positions, not the submission itself.
Learn how one of the most decorated light featherweights in the world builds a finishing leg lock game from the ankle up.
