The Ankle Lock Secret Every Belt Can Use (Josh Beam)

Josh Beam is a purple belt with one of the fastest-growing jiu-jitsu channels on YouTube. He sits down with Bernardo Faria to talk about quitting his job to train and film full time, and then shows the ankle lock he calls his favorite move: the butterfly ashi position, where he uses his feet to keep the leg extended and the hips pinned to the mat so his opponent cannot work his way out.
