New Technique? The Lock Up (position and calf slicer)

[Justin Patten]

Yeah this one has been around for a while...meg catches me with this from time to time...works alot better for longer legged guys. Saw this the other week too:

Awesome, VJ! This video shows better exactly what I do. All the way down to gripping the other ankle with the toes. Cool. I mean, I figured with all the people in the world grappling, I in no way, can be the only one who does it. But I haven't seen it anywhere until now. Yes, my long legs definitely make it an easier technique for me. Hopefully this will be helpfull to anyone else who may not have seen it before. I have a lot of success with it. Try electric chairing with it! It's crippling!

Its still cool that you found it yourself...always a good feeling What part of Jersey are you from Justin?

[Justin Patten]

Thanks. Yes, still pretty proud of it. I live in South Plainfield. Up north/central Jersey.

[VJ Bella]

My fiance and I are actually looking at houses in the Neshaminy area which should be much closer to you. I'll have to hit you up when things come together.

[VJ Bella]

Good shit yeah that's not too far and I have a 500 SQ ft mat area in a metal barn right outside my house (aka its free). Hit me up if your ever in town.

Interesting. Easy to set up. I'm going to play with it.
