i can see that if you dont get it theres a good chance youll end up on your back. but if youre a jiu jitsu fighter thats not that bad an outcome.

i can see why people might not tap to ankle damage, but i disagree about the knee. if a heel hook is strongly applied, the damage to the knee can be excruciatingly painful and devastating to the ligaments. thats why theyre banned in many competitions

i think the slippery effect sweat has might be a factor, though im not sure how youd slip out of an achilles lock too easily
