Professor William Dias instructs the basic foot lock at Mondays 5.30pm Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. The foot lock attacks the large joints of the knee or hip and involve utilizing leverage to counteract the larger muscle groups, while others directly attack ligaments in the knee or the smaller joint of the ankle. In training or sparring, foot locks 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, foot locks can cause muscle, tendon and ligament damage, even dislocation or bone fractures.
