Full name — Wojciechowski leg lock

Wojciechowski lock is the full-name form of the Woj lock — the leg-lock variant attributed to the Polish-American grappler Wojciechowski whose competitive use attached the name to the technique.

Etymology. “Wojciechowski” is the practitioner’s surname; the full form predominates in published instructional material. “Woj lock” is the shortened canonical form.

Mechanics. The submission attacks the knee from an inside-heel-hook-variant configuration — the variant’s leverage geometry differs subtly from the standard inside heel hook.

Cross-reference. “Inside heel hook variant” is the descriptive alternate name. Full mechanical coverage on Woj Lock.
