Lock down is my go to game.
The bigger my opponent the less it works. So when going against stronger big guys who smash me onto my back it will keep them from passing/having base, but i can't do much to sweep either. So i've had to face that I must learn ways around bigger dudes like taking the back and moving faster which I don't as much enjoy. ..also my game rarely works on better players no matter what I try.
They don't teach lock down at my school so when I do it people think it's not fair and they don't like it.
My instructor has a great half guard-centered game. He does not use the lock down. So there's much left to master! I rock the Jeff Glover deep half when I have to on bigger guys.
**Also, it took me a long time to feel the lock down with confidence. For a long time I was afraid to believe in it for fear of being shown up. Now it's my everything.
