Effectiveness of lockdown

What about lockdown in a Gi? I find it's tough because they can collar choke you even with the lockdown on. Is it a no Gi only move?

Wait a min y'all telling me there is another way to use half guard besides the lockdown. I need to study up on this lol. Na I use lockdown every time. I like using it and the deep half guard together given the right opportunity. But takes lots of practice.

Lockdown itself is more effective on gi pants because there is more friction causing it much harder to escape it

I love the lockdown but could always do it better. Any videos you guys recommend as the definitive whip up instructional?

I went through a phase in my journey where I questioned the effectiveness of the lockdown as well then I started training with Eddie not only did I feel the power and effectiveness of the Lockdown with him firsthand I also started learning seeing and feeling all the details from him in class the key thing to ask yourself is do you know the details? If so are you actually applying them? I would be pretty sure you dont remember there are also other options from the lockdown as well do your research and put in proper reps there is a reason why everyone knows Eddie is going to pull lockdown and he still kills with it!!!!!!

I found Ari's vid from submissions101 as probably the easiest other than the MTRG dvd

And I was pretty good(for a white belt) before I started studying the system but since there has been nothing but gains. I can't stress the number of times a few simple evil rainbows from lockdown saved me from being subbed and gotten me the sweep

I was using the lockdown with a very high rate of sucess for years in the Gi before I went no-Gi. In some ways it was easier back then because not may people new what the "f" I was doing. I was also doing tons of different lapel chokes from the Lockdown.
