Erik Paulson Breaks The Lockdown

No disrespect to Erik Paulson, he makes some very good points, but I agree that is not the Lockdown. Everything he demonstrated would still be valid as demonstrated, just not for the 10PJJ Lockdown.

Well, he's not doing that in any of those techniques, that's why I asked, but I assume you mean the one where he's standing up. The reason the move works, is because when Eric stands up, he puts his foot in the mat where his leg is stable and at the same time putting his opponent in a position where his legs are crossed and twisted outwards and his own body weight is resting upon those legs, making them powerless. It's very painful and it is possible to surprise the opponent with it sometimes.

mabye the one where he's using one of his legs to TRY to break both of yours?!

the small guy who cant stop laughing

I do agree, breaking the lockdown is not that easy but Paulson is still a genius.

THAT IS NOT THE LOCKDOWN!!!!!!!! Do your homework DA@*.

Paulson is the man - thanks for posting vid

If the guy straightens your legs, you just lift your foot and turn it out like Erik said in the video (0:35 - 0:50).

If he uses a "whip up" he will undo his gable grip for you and if you're on the ball you can time it so that it's relatively easy to stand up while he moves you upward and forward. Otherwise you just put a forearm in his throat or across his face.

And dude, where we come from, its cool to let the demonstrator show you the move, rather than resisting every which way possible.

Hey... who you callin a dummy?!? :)

What do you mean? Which technique are you talking about?

To me, with the lockdown you always straightened your legs, lifting the guys leg up, destroying his base, which Paulson's partner wasnt doing, he was just sort of lying there in a crappy traditional half guard position and with a pretty much non existant hooks (which is how Paulson could grab his toes), whereas proper Lockdown has either over-under or two unders, each with the gable grip (which you cant break just by leaning towards the feet. I dunno man, seemed a bit weak to me.

Can you try with a resisting, bigger guy. the dummy you train with is much smaller so you can easily reach for his legs and other parts of his body. His legs are almost the same size as your arms so you can submit him easily.... just want to see if this will really work. thanks.

I seriously dought that both of his legs will break before your single one does but I do believe the submission will work.

Awesome leg locks. Eric is great. Love the knee buster/indian death lock.

Thanks Eric very entertaining as always!
