ACHILLES LOCK An achilles lock (also called an '''achilles hold''' or '''achilles squeeze''') is a compression lock that involves pressing the Achilles Tendon into the back of the Ankle or lower Leg . It is typically performed by wedging a Forearm , especially a bony part of it, into the achilles tendon, while leveraging the foot and the leg over the forearm serving as a fulcrum. This causes severe pressure on the achilles tendon, and often also results in an Ankle Lock , since the ankle is being used as a point of leverage. Similarly, some ankle locks also cause a compression lock on the achilles tendon, and hence the term "achilles lock" is often also used to describe such ankle locks. BICEPS SLICER A biceps slicer (also called a '''biceps lock''' or '''biceps crusher''') is a compression lock that involves pressing the 2006 . LEG SLICER A leg slicer (depending on the affected muscle also called for instance '''calf slicer''' or '''thigh crusher''') is a compression lock that involves pressing the Calf and/or Thigh muscle into one of the bones in the leg. Similarly to the biceps slicer, a leg slicer can be applied by inserting a leg in the on the backside of the knee, and flexing the opponent's leg to apply pressure to the muscles surrounding the fulcrum. Generally, the direction of the shin in the leg acting as a fulcrum will determine where the larger part of the pressure will go. Such leg slicers can be used as effective leglocks to the knee through a separating and elongating motion. Similarly to the biceps slicer, the calf slicer listed as a banned technique in the lower levels of some major Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions. SEE ALSO REFERENCES Main references
