What is Toe Hold in BJJ?
Quick Definition
A foot lock twisting the foot to attack the ankle and knee.
Full Explanation
The toe hold is a foot submission where you grip the opponent's foot and twist it, creating pressure on the ankle, knee, and potentially the hip. You typically use a kimura-like figure-four grip on the foot and rotate it inward. Toe holds are legal at brown belt and above in IBJJF. They are versatile submissions that can be applied from many positions including 50/50, ashi garami, and even from top positions during guard passing.
Examples in Context
"He caught a toe hold from 50/50"
