Are there moves I should be looking at for when the guy on top of me is wise to lockdown and is hiding his leg by bending his knee? (that might not have been all he was doing, but he was hiding somehow)

You've taken the red pill. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Yes there are techniques to force the lockdown
I see.
Ok I'll go fuck off then.
Thanks.
Stomp...to Cocoon...to J.J. sweep. I will also go deep half if they hide from my lock down.

There's this whole position called half guard. Lovato has a good one.
Don't be take shit personally homie.

Wow, that escalated quickly.
One thing that works for me is to shrimp out and threaten to reclaim guard. When then try to put pressure on me, I can use the space I've created to stomp their foot into alignment. If they are so afraid of my lockdown that they won't try to close off the space, I can usually go to butterfly.
Works ok for this white belt.
I'm with you. Superstomp to cocoon is an immediate reaction for me in this situation.Quote:

Slip in the lock down and start working that game. This is gym and tournament tested for me so I know it works.
Sneaky. I like it. Thanks.Quote:

As stated. If they are lifting foot vertically, that leg becomes lighter and easy to slip in butterfly hook
If they turn foot inside to 90 degrees " hiding " the leg I go to 93 guard and look for kimura/ sweep
