Ankle lock defense against unorthodox leg/foot placement.
I need some advice and suggestions on how to defend a straight ankle lock thats a bit different with the leg/foot placement of the attacker. They have the exterior foot up on the hip like normal, but whats different is their interior leg and foot placement. Rather than a short hook, they take their foot and put it on top of their other foot that’s on top of the hip, so when they go to the side for the finish, they use the top leg to really push against the hip and mid section for extra leverage on the extension. Its super powerful and gives the defender less time to peel the outside foot off of the hip to sit out. I can still remove the outside foot, but by the time I do that, they have enough leverage with the other foot/leg to really extend. If I manage to push the top leg to the outside, then they go right into a figure four above the knee. Do I try to stuff the leg to the inside and just try to get weight onto my foot that’s being attacked? It’s just much harder to fight that leg post rather than the traditional short hook. Sorry for the long post, but just needed to elaborate!
