Isn’t it the case that when you’re in Side Control, that your training partners often defend by pushing you away from them? Especially if you go for the Crossface.
Well, when they push you towards their hips, you have a wonderful opportunity to go for a sneaky Toehold!
The toe hold is one of the venerable leg attacks in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It is characterized by using a figure 4 grip on an opponent’s foot. The leverage generated from this configuration is so impressive that it can deal massive damage to the foot; it can sometimes damage the knee as well. Today we’ll talk about the toe hold and why it is such a great technique to learn.
