Ankle Pick

1. Tie up with your opponent, and place one of your hands behind his neck.

2. Circle in the direction of the arm you placed on his neck. This forces him to step to follow you.

3. Dart your other hand down and cup his ankle when he takes a a step, around the outside of his foot.

4. Pull his ankle up as if to tuck it under your armpit, as you pull his head down with the hand you had placed behind his neck. Drive forward with your legs as you do this to destabilize his balance.

5. Stay in tight to maintain control and secure a takedown. If you execute well, your opponent will bail out to his stomach as you drive him backward.
