So in class I use to slap on the lockdown as quick as I could and stretch them out right away. But people, including my instructor, were complaining it hurt and told me not to do it because I could hurt someone. Fair enough, so now I take my time and put it in slowly, which is fine for now because none of them know how to defend it.
@ 10pjj schools how do you do it? I always thought it was a race for lockdown vs buttocks compressor.
Definiltely as quick as possible and stretch it out. The only time I wouldn't do it full speed is if my partner had an injury, that I didn't want to aggravate.Quote:

Teach your partners how to escape that way both of you can improve. Don't be a big fish in a small pond.
lockdown fast as fuck when i get flattened out. stretch the fuck out of his leg and squeeze as hard as you can. the friction from gi pants and your squeeze will make it harder for him to pass.
watch for them turning sideways, extending the lockdown laterally on a leg that's sideways will bend it against the tendons. Some dudes will try to muscle out of the lockdown turning perpendicular to you twisting their leg sideways in your lockdown. Don't extend it when they do that (unless you hate them a lot) and I usually warn guys not to do that.
It's not suppose to be comfortable...I've definitely had folks hurtingQuote:

That's more on them for not being stretched and working those muscles more.
The good news is the more you do it to them, the less it will hurt in the future
as they gain strength in those muscles, and they will learn to stay away from it.
Tell em to triangle their legs or suck it up!
You don't ask them to go easy on the guillotines!
i turned out of it the other day. know i have a massive bruise on the side of my calveQuote:

Im still messed up from the locked down, but I still keep rolling even with the pain.. It hurst more when it is still sore. But hey no pain no gain. thats just how we roll.
I think the pain becomes less noticable as time goes on. It sucks but nothing that isnt manageable. Babies.
I get it asap and as hard as i can most of the times, unless told otherwise

Keep slapping it on fast and hard! "thats what she said" but yeah maybe look for better training parters/ instructors if they can't handle it.
The only way you can improve your technique is to put in the reps
