That would work really well against someone who doesn't know how to play lockdown.
My thoughts exactly. The supposed "lockdown" the other guy has is very weak. He is not extending his legs at all. Not to say this counter isn't valid; I just would want to see it if the guy was actually extending his lockdown the way us planeteers actually do.Quote:

beauty MG pass. havent seen that before. Thanks. I wonder how it will do against a tight extended lockdown, like say moving some one back down before stomp then grabbing the leg. Sounds like i have homework.
Dustin, I can't see the vid you posted. It's probably flash or something. iPad sucks. Anyways, if you can post a link I'll check it out.
As with any move/technique, there's always a counter. One shouldn't rely on lockdown to work 100% of the time.
Your opponent will have short legs, will have repped escaping, will be more aggresive, or will be able to slip through(sweat = less friction). Just know they may know how to get through, so anticipate and react first if possible.
Talk soon man.
Is it unreasonable to ask these guys to stop talking about stuff they don't know? Honestly, unless you know what a real lockdown is, you can't teach an escape to it. That guy can't call that a lock down escape because that ain't a lockdown. That's like saying a guy's in spiderweb because he's defending an armbar with his hands clasped. Just because it looks like a lock down doesn't mean it's a lockdown. Just because it looks like rubber guard doesn't mean it's rubber guard.
I know what you mean man.Quote:

I could not find an example of this on MGinaction.com, but if a guy has tight double unders in any half guard he is pretty much expected to get the sweep unless the guy on top can find his way into an overhook twister pass.Quote:
