Is anyone familiar with this technique?

Years ago, someone once showed me how if someone put you in a rear naked choke and he crossed his legs at the ankles, you could put him in an ankle bar. Can anyone direct me to a video or instructions on how to do this? I can't find a video or instructions via websearch.

should be the close to what you're talking about, first hit I found. Don't have access to sound, but looks about like the ankle crank/lock I've done.

Yup...that's the one. It's a great move when the guy on your back loses focus and makes the mistake.

I must have been using the wrong search words. Thank you so much, ShoriKid.

Just as a note, if you lace your opposite leg over his leg that you are attacking (as he demonstrated) the pressure will be more of a twisting motion which will put pressure on his kneed as well and if you use your same side leg to lace with it will tend to be more of a straight ankle lock pressure.

It may be helpful to add that when you are the person who has the others back, another safe and more controlling alternative to the standard hooks is to "anaconda" his torso like in this video:

This is good for really tiring your opponent out and taking the breath out of them. But, not always an option for some as you have to either have longer legs or going against someone with a smaller wast.

Agreed.

But with using the body triangle and he touches on it in the video that there are a couple ankle locks from there and there's no denfending them as you've basically trapped yourself and these locks are fast.

I know a couple that you may be referring to, but I disagree that there is no defending them. By following the general rule that you keep your hanging leg during the body triangle from being pinned beneath your opponent, you almost completely negate their ability to perform them. Also, flexible ankles make them pretty hard to crank on hard enough to get a tap.
