The Lockup (from the Lockdown)

[Ricky Ho]

I just saw this new move on Youtube. What do you guys think? Does it work?

I play the lockdown a lot at my gym, and I am considered the 10th planet guy. The guy in the video teaching the move was one of the 10th planet guys in my gym before I got there. I know both the guys personally in the video, I train regularly with the guy on top who has been a blue belt for well over a year now, while the guy on the bottom doesn't train anymore. Our coach, a Black Belt under Kurt Pelligrino, says he has seen him hit this move live many times. I don't use it however, so I can't comment on its effectiveness.

thats the kamikadze no?

Is anyone doing an ankle lock using the lockdown?
just like a normal wrist lock but with your feet?
its such a white belt move tho ...

[John Hickman]

Yeah, that's the kamikaze.

[Preszler]

I compete as a blue belt I haven't seen it before but it looks pretty slick to me so I gonna try to incorporate it see how it goes also ya I agree that is the kamakazi but the entry into for me is new

[Hashashin1904]

the kamikazi featured in the jiu jitsu unleashed book has the persons leg going to the outside...this one has it going inside...i thought kamikazi too...

[Ladi The African Tiger]

Wow! Slick bullet!

[Dylan Ehrnreiter]

I think everyone who's ever played lockdown has done this at some point.

I tried this in practice and in live rolling. In practice it was easy enough to get my head around. But I did not land it once in practice, two days in a row, tried it on everyone, sure its only maybe an hour of total rolling time so its not much to go on.

The issue I had was the difficulty getting the submission locked on. Did anyone have and success with this move?

[Michael J Hewson]

Last month I was saying I could not land this while rolling. Recently I have started to get this quite often. Legit move.
