The lockdown is one my favorite positions because of the sweeps from it. However, now that my training partners are keen to it, I am having trouble keeping their leg in the lockdown, especially with excess perspiration.

Ankle sleeve or some sort of leggings could help. How exactly are they fighting out of it?
Make sure before u stretch their leg out u squeeze ur knees together tight first
If its no-gi then do no-gi dont bother with the ankle sleeves or what not cause then your just trying to get back to gi. But back to topic, keep under hooks tight avoid americanas but going back to FG if you slip up. People like going for guillotine's but then you get the old school sweep. to side control. keep your knees tights while in HG keep whipping that bitch. keep your opponent off balance and do your thing.
Ankle sleeves are the shit, they provide vital friction, and theyre allowed in no-gi jiu jitsu competitions so why not use them?Quote:

Straighten your legs and squeeze your thighs.
^^^^....Also a minor detail is to make sure you point your toes up towards the ceiling and curl them back towards your head.
