Basics To Advanced: Ankle Picks For Jiu Jitsu
By Aaron Benzrihem
Basics To Advanced: Ankle Picks For Jiu Jitsu treats the ankle pick as both a standing takedown and a seated-guard attack. Aaron Benzrihem covers distance, grips and setups before exploring same-side and cross-body finishes. The range of starting positions makes this relevant to grapplers who want an ankle attack that connects their standing and guard games.
Is this for you?
- You want ankle-pick setups from standing and seated guard.
- You want coverage of same-side and cross-body finishes rather than a single entry.
