Here DeBlass shows his favourite way to counter the straight foot lock:
The achilles lock is a very powerful submission which must be respected, unfortunately I have broken two legs with it over the years because my opponents did not tap in time. Furthermore, I have not been submitted with an achilles lock in training since I was a blue belt. I’m now a black belt for 9 years. Here is how I avoid the submission.
