White Belt · The First Leg Lock
The caption explains that the ankle lock, also called the Achilles lock, "is typically the first leg submission taught in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu" and "targets the Achilles tendon by pressing it towards the foot." In the clip Deivid, in a blue gi, sits holding the partner's trapped leg and talks the finish through, using what the caption calls an RNC grip.
Deivid sits on the mat with the partner's leg held across his body, his own legs wrapped over it to keep it in place and the partner's foot up by his side. He is already in the finishing position when the clip opens.
Still holding the leg, Deivid gestures with his free hand while he explains, then reaches back in and re-sets both hands around the partner's lower leg and foot. The caption names this finish: "I used the RNC grip to finish the opposite foot."
Both hands come together and hug the leg in tight to his chest. Deivid looks to camera holding the finished lock.
