How to deal with people hiding their shin to avoid lockdown, mini stomp, etc?
Hiding their shin beneath my inside leg.
Just time and patience id say, they won't be able to pass once they triangle their legs so if you're set on going lockdown you can wait it out, I've managed to get the lockdown alot even whilst they do this, simple bring your outside leg in and under your inside leg and then try to hook and scoop it out whilst hip bumping to get the lockdown, hope that made sense.
You could also transition to butterflies or go to z guard or just play some traditional half guard
As you saw in bravo vs royler it is a struggel getting The lockdown somtimes but its worth it.
Quick question: is there anywhere that goes over the different variations of 1/4 guard, 1/2 guard, stomps, etc?
I know MTS does over the course of numerous episodes, but is there a particular episode / web page / post worth checking out?
Check the MTS guide stickied at the top of the page, it has them all listed out.Quote:

Thanx.
It's a battle. It may look easy but take years to develop your lockdown half game, even longer to master. Lots of foot/hip movement getting where you wanna be, while maintaining clinch. But the more #s come more success. Unless you're a breakdancing FREAK.Quote:

Developing many other areas of my game has really opened my clinch game back up again whereas when the clinch was my go to A game, people knew to avoid it, and when they did my backup options weren't as polished so I was much easier to shut down by certain people. Now they run away from my new A game and put themselves directly into my original A game. Funny how this worked out :)
Cool.
Thanx.
keepin your outside foot that's coming in on the floor blocks his shin from hiding :)
Ha, I'm such a jiu Jitsu nerd...
My Fiance rolled her eyes at me when I showed her my lap top and that you,Eddie Bravo himself, replied to my question. She walked out of the room mumbling something about Podcasts and JRE. I couldnt make out everything she said because my headset was plugged in.
Also, I can't wait to focus on that the next time I'm rolling and then raise an eyebrow and say, "Yeah, Eddie Bravo told me to do that".
Thank You and great work on the EBI format.
Has anyone else been reading this thread singing "he's the one they call Dr Halfguard"?
