Shin on Shin Footlock

Thanks for posting. I've been really into the shin-on-shin guard lately, mostly just using it to sweep. I'll definitely be trying this out.
 
You need the control the ankle of course, but you can control by wrapping the ankle ie the vid, or like this which is what I was referring to

Both have advantages and disadvantages I guess. Its gonna be harder to transition to the ankle lock like above.

You still need to “bite down” on the ankle. You can still finish the ankle lock that way. It’s not 100%. From that position on the bite you can go to different leg entanglements or even sweeps. I do the sweep on, as you say, experienced grapplers. Their ankle does not escape. They are doing other shit that is frustrating but the ankle is stuck there. If you need more control you can switch grip with the opposite hand and get even more hip movement to bring them down.
