Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals | How to Land a Proper Heel Hook
Over one more time so that way you can practice those as well as uh what we’ve been working On so once again once again I’m coming here that’ll set me up I’m going to do the other side you can also one of the strongest grips is no thumb up here you can drag them all across the map with that which allows you to be able to just set that up and
Get it if you want but I’m going to keep doing this so we’re here I’m crowding him I’m coming down I usually press up off him put my leg through fall back okay now I’m set up breaking Mechanics for this let’s turn this way so the heel hook attacks the ankle
But it’s actually a knee attack a pretty freaking devastating one calling Savage run for your life because you have half the leg going this way half half the leg going that way so you break that it’s a shearing motion breaks it pretty quick now when we’re doing it from this
Direction my inside of my elbow goes as close to the end of his toes as I can a lot of people teach it in the armpit which is okay but if he if he straightens out his foot and slips the heel I’ve lost it whereas if I’m down
Here and he straightens out his heel I have all this motion he has to get through all of that before he can lose it so the elbow the inside of the elbow captures as close to the end of his uh toes as I can his heel goes onto my wrist or if
You have longer arms I don’t know your forearm or something um and then you are going to Gable grip your hands so this hand goes down it’ll come up and you’re right in the center now what I’m going to do is I am going to bring this elbow
To the sky everything comes up the elbow comes to the sky so I am concaved in like this everything tight and when I’m ready this is going to happen where my elbow comes to the sky now to finish this you have to attack the knee so this
Is taking his whole foot this way this foot right here is pinning down to his hip and then I’m going to get off the mat and I’m going to hip in to his knee now you could just go a straight hip in that’s going to that’s going to
Get the tap but if you want to make it stronger so if you’ve been doing this for a while and you have your body down and you want to make it stronger you are going to go over like a half moon so you’re not going this way you’re up and
You’re going over and that’s going to give you that whole rotation that you need to pull this L and then send these in different directions so you have his knee caught elbow is going to capture his toes wrist going to capture his heel everything’s tight I’m in I’m grabbing
My uh arms bringing everything High elbow to the sky to help rotate I’m going to get off my ass I’m going to push in till you get the tap and since you guys weren’t here the warning is we’re not tapping to pain we’re tapping to pressure this is one of those things
Where it’s too late when you feel pain you’ll be out so you want to feel it where it feels like you get the a breaking sort of pressure and then you’re going to tap it might not always hurt but it does feel dangerous that’s when you
Tap everybody got it anybody want to see it again
