EZE - Electric Chair from Z Guard - Lockdown 101

EZE
Electric Chair from Z Guard

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGMvqXB-3Wk

Hey guys,

So I have been playing a lot of Z guard lately, Learning and studying Craig's DVDs.

On occasion I would use the Zelda if I couldnt get my other entries going.

I realized that after you dig your arm into the far leg, its not that hard to get the second underhook on the near side and do a kind of Zelda type motion straight into Electric Chair.

Ive been hitting this in the gym a lot.

Let me know what you guys think

Comments, Questions, Criticism
All welcome

Thanks

Nice series you have going. This is not really a criticism because I have not evaluated your entire game...just a statement or suggestion. You would probably benefit from a recounter when your opponent attempts to pummel an underhook with your pimp arm if you do not have one already.

Nice. Thank you

I try man, but its really tough. The coach over here always fucks up my lockdown like that... although last time I used the LD > RG trasition and very very nearly tapped him with a Gogo Clinch. He face was turning purple... but they guys over here always talk shit about 10p not working. Double unders and kicks out to pass.
Any suggestions on what to do when they get double unders on you?

I was reading through AVD RG on the weekend and I think he said to use the stomp series. Anyone have success with that?

Thanks

If the double underhooks are in deep, your lockdown is kind of fucked as far as I can tell but I am always looking for new answers so that could change. If you can feel them going for the underhook on your pimp arm side early though, remove the posted hand from the hip and monkey or serpent grip his bicep close to the elbow and try to close his elbow into his hip by extending your arm passed a 120 degree angle. From here, you might be able to hip out into the pyramid and New Jersey and actually if you are hipping out while you are pushing the elbow to the hip, it will be more effective. The stomp series is also amazing. It is a big reason why I still play lockdown as much as I do. I would recommend obsessing over all of the stomps until they are close to the proficiency level of your lockdown game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FMc36LFVL8&t=34s Eddie said he doesn't mess with the New Stomp anymore when I asked him on here, but I have had some success with it.

Also, this variation of the Super Stomp at 5:18 is highly effective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2JCG5kuJ5Y&t=322s

Thanks man, great resources.
I'll check them out

right on

Excellent lockdown options and transitions :)

Oh my! Looks like Eddie has a whip down option against double underhooks on the newest MTS. See COP Clinch, COP sweep. My memories of the Whip Down were basically fighting head and arm. I am not sure when 10th Planet and Eddie added it in to countering double unders but I am looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks Eddie and Jon as well.

The Cop Sweep. Maybe the 5-0? I believe that's from whipdown with double unders, when you reach behind and catch the far arm. Ive had very limited success with it. But then again I havent drilled it much.

Im going to be going putting out some more LD videos and troubleshoot, it helps me remember my own game and keep things organized.

Hope its useful to some and not too many mistakes in there ;)

Eddie,

This newest Mastering the System... Im speechless man.

So many times when my Rubber Guard was falling apart, they push my knee and knee slide... I had no idea know what to do... that transition to 1/4 Guard and Dogfight is amazing man... literally exactly what I needed.

I cant wait to try the COP sweep from Double Unders Lockdown as well. That Double overhook Sweep looks interesting as well.
God damn its hard being a lone soldier over here in China, but we keep fighting the good fight.
This high level troubleshooting is pure GOLD.

I also realize ive got to get the Prison Guard and Homie control game going. I literally know nothing about it... embarrassing.

I will say, for those guys that can do it.. Hindu Control keeps them locked in place even if the pass the bottom leg. It can buy you some time, and Im working on some more options from there,

Thank you brother

Thanks Eddie and thanks guys,

A minor update to the EZE... I am hitting this very very regularly in rolling since its been added into my game... it opens up some really nice options and give the top guy more to think about.

Good luck :D

Yes, prison guard is crucial. That along with rubber guard, 1/4 guard and lockdown must be mastered if you want your clinch game from the bottom optimized
