While I'm picking the brains of the collective, how do you folk deal with limp anklers? Is it ok to just trap the foot to keep them from taking my back, or do I really need to hook it and lift it up? Could I throw a lockdown on that leg instead? I'm very bored at work, if you couldn't tell!
Not sure if this is going to make sense with text but I've seen Nino do this before with limp anklers. When the guy limps his ankle out he has no weight on top of you so at that time he does almost like a wrestler sit out and takes the guys back. The point is when he has you in side control he has to have weight on you to keep you there. When you hook his ankle and he escapes his weight is off you. That's when you take the offense and go to the back. Make sense?
As for the lockdown, well, I think everybody would agree that halfguard/lockdown is better than being stuck in side control if you can get it.
