A leglock is a 2006 .. Leglocks are considered more difficult techniques to apply effectively than Armlock s, since the legs are generally stronger limbs than the arms. Leglocks requre full body Leverage to be effective since they attack large Joint s, such as the Knee . Compared to armlocks, leglocks usually require more intricate positions than the Mount , Sidemount or Guard , and are often considered to be risky because of the possibility of losing Position . In training or sparring, leglocks are applied in a slow and controlled manner, and are often not hyperextended such as in the case of the comparatively dangerous Heel Hook . Instead, Submission is signalled before the lock is fully applied. In Self-defense application, or when applied improperly or with excessive force, leglocks can cause Muscle , Tendon and Ligament damage, even Dislocation or Bone Fracture s. KNEEBAR is performed on the arm.]] A kneebar (technically known as a '''straight legbar''') is a leglock which hyperextends the Knee . The basic kneebar is performed similarly to an Armbar by holding the opponents leg inbetween the legs and arms so the opponent's Kneecap points towards the body. By pushing the hips forward, the opponent's leg is straightened, and further leveraging hyperextends the Knee . Ankle lock An ankle lock (occasionally referred to as a '''shin lock''') is a leglock that it applied to any of the Joint s in the Ankle , typically by hyperextending the Talocrural Joint through Plantar Hyperflexion . Ankle locks are often applied in a manner which simultaneously causes a Compression Lock to the Achilles Tendon , or sometimes also to the Calf Muscle . Straight ankle lock The straight ankle lock (depending on how it is performed also known as an ''' Achilles Lock ''') is what is usually thought of as an ankle lock. It is typically performed using the legs to isolate one of the opponents legs, and placing the opponents foot in the armpit, while holding the foot with the Forearm at the lower part of the opponet's Calf , usually at the Achilles Tendon . By leveraging the hips forward, the foot becomes forcefully Plantar Flexed , hence creating a potent Joint Lock on the Ankle . The forearm serves as a Fulcrum in the leveraging, and may cause severe pressure on the Achilles Tendon , especially when the bony parts of the forearm are used. Such a straight ankle lock is sometimes referred to as an " Achilles Lock ". toe hold.]] Toe hold A toe hold involves using the hands to hyperextend and/or hyperrotate the Ankle , typically by grabbing the Foot near the Toe s, and twisting or pushing the foot while controlling the opponent's leg. A common type of toe hold is the '''figure-four toe hold''', where a Figure-four Hold is used to hold the opponent's foot. This type of toe hold is performed by holding the foot by the toes with one hand, and putting the other hand under the opponent's Achilles Tendon , and grabbing the wrist. By controlling the opponent's body, and using the hands to Plantar Flex the foot either straight or slightly sideways, hence putting considerable Torque is put on the Ankle . medially. The opponent's leg is entangled to prevent him from escaping the Hold .]] HEEL HOOK A heel hook is a leg lock affecting multiple 2006 .. The heel hook is however an allowed technique in some Submission Wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts competitions. There are several variations of heel hooks, with the most typical being performed by placing the legs around a leg of an opponent, and holding the opponent's foot in the armpit on the same side. The legs are used to control the movement of the opponents body while the opponent's foot is twisted by holding the Heel with the Forearm , and using the whole body to generate a twisting motion, hence creating severe medial torque on the Ankle . A similar heel hook can be performed by holding the opponen's foot in the opposite armpit, and twisting it laterally; a move which is referred to as an inverted, '''reverse''' or '''inside heel hook'''.
