Scorpion Death Lock

The Scorpion Death Lock, famously known as the Sharpshooter in professional wrestling, is a submission that applies pressure to the lower back and legs. With the opponent on their stomach, the attacker crosses the opponent's legs, steps through, and turns to sit down, creating a powerful spinal lock and hamstring stretch. While uncommon in BJJ, it is a legitimate submission in catch wrestling and no-gi grappling.
