Stretching your Lockdown too early can cost you the underhook and leave you stuck underneath your opponent. In this lesson, I show you how to get underneath first, elevate their leg, and time your extension so the position starts working for you.

We cover:
• Getting your elbow inside and creating room to scoop the leg
• Using your feet and hips to move underneath your opponent
• Keeping control of the knee line
• Connecting the Lockdown to the Electric Chair
• Why stretching while flat can undo the position you worked to build

Want to connect these details into a complete half guard game? My Lockdown Half Guard course includes five modules covering the fundamentals, Dipset, Whip Up, Old School, Electric Chair, Dogfight, and further transitions.

$9. One payment. No monthly membership required.
