Tom DeBlass is back with BJJ Fanatics to take you through a masterclass of one of grappling’s most effective half guards, the lockdown. Tom breaks down how to tighten up this no-gi half guard position and how to attack for incredible sweeps, submissions, and more on this 4-volume instructional series. With some of Tom’s favorite combinations, soon you’ll be using the lockdown for huge half guard success, even against faster, stronger opponents.

Enter into the lockdown from the traditional half guard and start giving yourself a tighter control over the opposition and slow them down long enough for you to start using Tom’s best attacks to sweep and submit. Get people moving all over with electric chair and waiter sweeps, enter into outside heel hooks and calf slicers, and get to the back where you can begin choking.

Included in Tom’s breakdown of how to sweep and submit from bottom position, Tom also shows some of his concepts for clearing out lockdowns from top, so you can understand the move fully. Use this step-by-step instruction to clearly lay out all your possibilities with key details for success on Tom’s new 4-volume instructional series.
