figure four
Submission hold, legs
A figure four is a position where the legs form the shape of the numeral 4—one leg straight, the other bent with its ankle resting on the opposite knee.
In wrestling, a figure-four leglock traps an opponent's legs in this configuration to apply painful pressure.
The position also appears in yoga stretches and relaxed sitting: He sat with his legs in a figure four.
