STANDING ANKLE TWIST AND SPREAD EAGLE (contd.)

To keep your opponent from rolling to the left, you step on their other leg, trapping it firmly on the ground, forming a spread eagle which makes it difficult for them to roll.  At the same time, twist your opponent's ankle to the outside.  This hold is used in professional wrestling.  As with most of our Black Boot style holds, it was used more in years past but is still a very effective hold.
