MMA’s most sought-after grappling coach, Pancrase Submission Wrestling world champion Ricky Lundell shows you how to tighten up your ground game with former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir. Here, Ricky demonstrates a foot lock from bottom.


1. Frank (black T-shirt) has mounted Ricky with double grapevines locked in and both arms on the mat for leverage.


2. Ricky brings his left foot up and puts it on his right thigh. While moving his foot, he traps Frank’s right foot by moving it with his left shin and instep. 


3. As Frank tries to clear his foot, Ricky leans forward to catch Frank’s trapped foot and move it to the top of his right thigh. 


4. While keeping hold of Frank’s foot, Ricky presses down on the top of Frank’s heel with his left leg to complete the foot lock.
