Does anyone here have consistent success applying this technique during sparring? Whenever I attempt to start drilling this move I always feel that I am applying pressure into parts of the leg that are quite strong, which is obviously bad.
As I understand it, the pressure comes from the hamstring pressing into the shin combined with the wrist pressing into the achilles. Unfortunately, I feel that it is quite difficult establishing a strong grip with the locking hand and am quite confused as to what role the hips play during the footlock/the angle at which it is meant to be put on.
