I recently wrote an article on the Aoki lock and went over its strengths and weakness. I also included footage of high-level competitors using it in competition. This submission has been around for a while, but its been gaining popularity in the last few years. Hopefully you'll find this interesting.

Interesting, almost like a variation of the Estima lock. Kind of like an IBJFF legal heel hook. I’d be wary if I was competing under that rule set about being called for a DQ by an overzealous ref though.

- Aoki is a monster. Kawa was a very tough -guy. This fight got lost in my memory till now.

Loved your writing and technical explanation.
Thank you for the post.
 
Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed the article and all the videos. I haven't seen this submission before and I am now scared of it.

There is a typo in the Weakness section

It's an all or not her submission

Thanks. I'll change that.
