Heel Hook Escape Variation (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from a heel hook attempt, as soon as the opponent lifts the hips to adjust. The opponent locks his legs in a figure four on Lucas’ leg in an attempt to get the heel hook submission. Lucas immediately turns his heel back and turns to the side. He places one hand on the opponent’s knee and the other is used to post on the mat. In this variation, the opponent lifts his hips to adjust his grips. It is at this moment that Lucas immediately turns his leg to the other side and escapes. From here, he can sit back and escape.
