Thoughts on this lockdown defense?

There is no defense for the lockdown when that's where you want to be and force it upon them. Don't believe me? Ask Royler, or just give Eddie Bravo a roll :)

I like to "try" and throw in the Apollo choke if they switch to twister side.

I like back stepping as soon as the lock, then passing like reverse half. As long as you control their bottom leg, you're good. Works for me, even against better guys.
