Outside SLX (single leg X)
Also known as Outside Ashi Garami — the canonical term used on this site.
Hybrid — outside-line single-leg X variant
Outside SLX (single leg X) is the hybrid name for the outside ashi garami when framed as an outside-line variant of the single-leg X-guard family — using both naming conventions to flag the configuration’s relationship to multiple position-families.
Etymology. “Outside SLX” combines outside-line orientation with the SLX abbreviation; “(single leg X)” provides the explicit expansion. The compound predominates in instructional contexts that frame the outside ashi as an outside-line variant of the SLX system.
Mechanics. The outside-line single-leg control produces the structural geometry for outside heel hook attacks — the variant shares the SLX family’s hook-foot-and-hip mechanics applied to the outside.
Cross-reference. “Outside Entanglement” and “Single Outside” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Outside Ashi Garami.
