leglock
Grappler's lower hold
A leglock is a grappling hold that hyperextends or twists an opponent's leg joint—knee, ankle, or hip—to cause pain or force submission.
Common in wrestling, judo, and mixed martial arts: He tapped out to a leglock.
The term also describes any restraining grip on someone's legs: She had him in a leglock and wouldn't let go.
