Crossing your feet from the back mount

As a jiu jitsu practitioner, you need to avoid crossing your feet from the back mount. Crossing your feet allows your foot to get broken through the use of a figure-four foot-lock. In general, if the opponent's left foot is crossed on top, we use our left (top) foot to wrap over their foot (not ankle), before using our other leg to apply the figure-four position.
