The ankle lock is a leglock that is applied to any of the joints in the ankle, typically by hyperextending the talocrural joint through plantar hyperflexion. Ankle locks are often applied in a manner which simultaneously causes a compression lock to the achilles tendon, and sometimes also to the calf muscle. It is currently used as a signature move to Jack Swagger. Kurt Angle had originally adopted it as the Angle Lock. Michael Cole uses it as a move but calls it the An-Cole Lock
