Yes, the ankle lock works on more than just pain. All BJJ joint locks can break bones when used correctly.
You broke your friends leg? I hope you said sorry. People should tap when in foot locks, and you shouldn't be looking away when applying foot locks.
I've heard this achilles pain thing but I've never had someone put on a straight ankle lock that even made my achilles feel the least bit sore. It's always the tendons that run up the front of the ankle. And how the fuck do you break a bone with this technique unless you're actually just doing a shitty calf crusher or the guy has severely brittle bones?
Do the ankle lock onIf it's done right it can cause damage, but I know a lot of less experienced people apply it incorrectly and will just grab anywhere around the ankle (I've even seen people do it on the lower part of the calf) and just squeezing as hard as they can hoping to get the tap. This meathead variation is more or less purely a pain submission.

You bumped a six year old thread for that?Do the ankle lock on
Me
Whys it matter will u put it on me pleaseYou bumped a six year old thread for that?
Will u put it on meAs with every other joint lock, you don't break the bones witht he achilles lock. You tear the tendons and ligaments so that the bone dislocates from its joint.
Why do so many people think this? I've even heard that people were taught that the move was just a pain sub, & not capeable of injuring in traditional schools.
I know this from an unfortunate personal experience not to be true.
I happened to lock one on a friend of mine during rolling, I began to apply torque, & in doing so I was looking away, not aware that he was tapping the floor.
We then heard a very audible pop.
He says he went to the doctor & was told that he had a fractured tibia
he wore an ace ankle brace for a while... so the move is defintely not just a pain sub.
so tap!
