The heel hook is a great way to attack an opponent who is standing up in your open guard. With both feet hooked inside your opponent's legs at the knees, reach out and grab the heel of whichever foot is closet to your. Pull your hips in close to that foot and kick your foot inside and around that leg until your foot lands on the hip of the leg your are attacking. Your other foot is tucked under the hamstring of the leg you are attacking. Squeeze your knees together for control. Pull the toes of the foot that you are attacking under your armpit. Hook your wrist under the heel of that foot and lock your hands together. Torque the heel across your chest to put breaking pressure on the ankle and knee. Be careful in the application of this technique-injuries are common. Give your partner time to submit while training.
