Finish the foot lock when the opponent attacks one leg

White beltNo-Gi0:05Archive lesson

The caption states the situation: "Finish the FootLock when the opponent goes for one leg." The partner on his back has Deivid's one standing leg wrapped up, and Deivid answers by taking the partner's exposed foot and finishing a foot lock of his own instead of pulling his leg free.

The breakdown — piece by piece

STEP 1 · 0:00–0:02

The opponent on his back wraps up one leg

Deivid stands in a white rashguard while the partner on the mat has Deivid's leg caught between his own legs and holds on around it.

STEP 2 · 0:02–0:03

Take the opponent's foot with both hands

Deivid bends down over the entanglement and takes a two-handed grip on the partner's foot, which is up in the air in front of him, holding it with interlocked hands.

STEP 3 · 0:03–0:05

Drop the weight and bend the foot to finish

He drops down toward a knee, still holding the foot in both hands, and bends it in to finish the foot lock while the partner keeps hold of his leg.

Key details

Caption: the finish happens "when the opponent goes for one leg" — the counter is the lesson, not the entry.
In the frames the grip is two hands on the one foot, taken while Deivid is still standing.
Both men are in rashguards and shorts — no-gi throughout.
