Texas Cloverleaf

The Texas Cloverleaf is a leg submission with roots in professional wrestling. It is effectively a combination of a half Boston crab and a sharpshooter. The attacker stands at the feet of a face-down opponent, hooks one leg, and places the opponent's other leg into a figure-four around it. By lifting and squatting, the attacker applies pressure to the knees, ankles, and lower back, creating a powerful, multi-joint submission.
