GO BASIC! Lockdown Half Guard Fundamental sweeps 

1. Old school sweep 0:52 2. Plan B 2:16 3. Electric chair 3:20

Purple belt from 13 years ago here. Started teaching a colleague after work and we are training for an hour once a week. Got him to start drilling 5 minutes everyday before we goto the gym to workout. This video was a GREAT review with all the details I needed for moves I used a lot many years ago. I am going to use my daily drill time this and next week to practice these three moves. I know it is 9 years too late, but THANK YOU!

Ayyye! Your the guy that exposed that fake black belt ! lol awesome technique very help full oss 🙇

ALWAYS DEFEND THE CHOCOLATE BAR

I hardly leave comments, but man I love this video. You gave so many alternatives to getting into a better position from half guard. Thank you!

Thanks for this great breakdown. I've been a madman at holding guys in lockdown, but it's been tough for me to do anything but stall from there. I see about 5 basic things I've been doing wrong, and starting this week I'm going to work these three techniques like crazy.

Awesome series!! Thank you for sharing! Half/deep half guard are definitely my favorite positions and I will be incorporating these details into my game!

Great vid, I've been looking for sweeps from lockdown. Can't wait to try this out.

Great vid. Just the right speed and explanation that lays out our three primary options from lockdown.

Very clean technique, very helpful. Thanks.

Great video, I think its a good breakdown of Eddie Bravo's system.

Super details. Thank you for the great video! We just covered these three and it was awesome to come here to get extra details.

Awesome content! I keep revisiting this video. These have become my A game from bottom half guard. The expression on peoples face when you catch them in the electric chair is priceless.

Ive been using lockdown for a bit and never noticed this simple sweep. I pulled it off a couple times today in training. thanks

This is super helpful and easy to digest. I hope I'll be able to make use of these soon, since I use lockdown a bunch to slow bottom half guard situations down and hardly know what to do with it.

Awesome instruction. Thank you.

great stuff. One of the most effective lockdown series tutorials I've seen. Osss

this is the most useful thing ive leared to do from half guard so far

We went over this in class yesterday. This really helps clarify

Amazing stuff thank you man.

Thank you sharing this!!! Lockdown is a position I want to work on.

great video!!!!!!!! keep the videos coming bro

great video thanks for this.

Great vid Thanks.

Awesome!!!!

sweet lesson

Great video

Great Video Good info and perfect speed. Your not starting and stopping with your technique or instruction which makes it much easier to understand. I have a hard time with the first step getting my body to move simultaneously lifting the opponent with both my legs and my arms to give me the space to maneuver into the next part of the position. I also keep forgetting is to keep the brace on their hips when I moved under them and so when I got the lift right the guy's weight was immediately crushing me back down to the mat and I had not room to maneuver under them for the sweep. I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong until I watch this video as soon as I saw your hands on his hips and creating space I knew exactly what I was doing wrong. Thank you for helping me I can't wait to apply the things I learned from your video in my next class.

EXCELLENT. Thanks for sharing some of your knowledge!

I watched this years ago and lost it, thankfully i found this first sweep again.

I love this.!

this helped me so much

Awesome mate I really enjoyed the lesson OSs from Australia

please keep on posting these vids! nice details and powerfull basics! thanks m8

Love it

Good stuff

Thanks!!!!

Love the lockdown!

Nice explanation. Great camera work too.

i just learned that lockdown technique, the only difference is my trainer had us go straight to side control from grabbing the toes unhooking pulling toes then getting to half guard.

Thank you

Been training the 10th Planet system for a couple of months now and it's definitely eye-opening. Very practical techniques for the cage and self defense.

Mike! My man! We're ready for the electric chair series!!

Nice details! Thanks!

God damned great instruction!

Thanks

I love the lockdown, I always use it to sweep or to just frustrate my opponent in order to recover full guard.

thanx !

thanks for comming to my school

Great video nice details 👍

Sweet!! I’ve been having trouble executing all of this! Can’t wait to try it out!!! P.S. “I don’t roll” Lol 😂

Great instruction. Thanks.

Got stuck with this at a tournament today bc I never heard of it. I managed to win, but it was effective while my opponent was holding it. I just got lucky he tired out.

I just started today

Thank you very much. How are preventing the d'arce or guillotine when you're getting the underhook? My partners are usuall able to lock it up and i am almost always able to sweep them and then pass to side control but once in a while a more experienced partner will finish me with it. I'd ideally like to not have them lock up the d'arce or guillotine at all. Is it just a matter of getting deeper and faster? Thank you for any advice.

What's the best way to move a heavier larger opponent when in lockdown?Sometimes find it impossible to move them,try to play electric chair too but sometimes hard to get the leg

I keep getting trapped and only am able to hold onto one leg. I'll definitely be trying to apply these techniques!

The whip up is effective when you have the underhook and the other guy is just holding on to a headlock? I find really difficult to old school guys (its my default sweep from half guard) when they just latch onto my head like that

(00:24, 00:30,1:27, 5:13,5:50 lockdown) (Sweep 1,00:54,1:08) (Sweep 2,2:45) (Sweep 3,3:25,4:34) Note: keep the under hook in order to survive in bottom half guard

Just seeing this now. Can you address one thing Professor? I'm tall (6') and skinny w/long skinny legs. I LIVE on the lockdown but I'm just a sucky blue belt and all i ever do is use it to stall/relieve pressure. I have a LOT of trouble "Hoisting" my partner/opponent over me (the "touchdown" pose) and then getting to my elbow. Any tips for that or just UNDERHOOK UNDERHOOK UNDERHOOK! Btw- thanks for the great vids.

i always get stuck on the whip up, they grab a hold of my neck and I cant get them high enough to go under their leg?

Fundamentals = most effective

hey man, great video. hopefully i can say this without coming across as an a1 douchebag but your old school sweep that step where you disengage lockdown, if you skip that and complete the sweep its easier to unhook right in to side control instead of ending up in half guard. when you swept with electric chair you actually did exactly what im suggesting and ended up in side control.

Is this a good technique for tall grapplers?

Heyy quick question Is the electric chair ibjjf legal ?

In the first sweep couldn't the guy on top just post out with his left arm to prevent the sweep? I'm new so probably missing something

This shit is 🔥😍🤙🏾

what if he's got his arm behind your head at 0:43 so you cant lift him up?

2:51 move that Kudos bar bro I'm shooting a tutorial!

is that green shorts guy from the fake black belts gym?

The whip down has been difficult in ghi because it leaves my neck undefended. Any pointers?

Too hot

awesome!!!! will try this on my husband!!!! hahaha

Are you an IBJJF recongnized brown belt ?

I'm here lol

Judo move, right?

The lockdown, my favorite Judo technique in half guard.

These are really high percentage

These kind of moves always susceptible to his left knee strike to your head.

OK?...

Lockdown looks like a leg braid

does this guy have a youtube channel?
