Obviously that doesn't always work since it also requires you to break entirely out of your opponent's clinch, and not surprisingly people who are good a Lockdown are unlikely to be cooperative with you getting free of their clinch. The solution: if you can't break their lock, pick it! The lockpick is a very effective way to free yourself from the Lockdown and get up to chair sit half guard. If you're chair sitting on your opponent's leg, they have far less control over you than they did in Lockdown. Plus, your more dominate position means you have access to more submissions and passes than you do from inside the Lockdown, so now you can get to work. This is a multi-part video series covering the top half guard position in extreme depth. If you're looking to level up your top half guard game, make sure to watch the entire playlist!
