The submission ? I just tried the lockdown from half guard while we were sparring and I had success holding the guy in half guard.It felt easier to keep the opponent in my half guard vs regular half guard.I had trouble getting the sweep though,first I let the guy flatten me out and he had cross face,i jerkd him forward with the lockdown and got my undertook but I failed to get the sweep.
Using the lockdown, (or as use east coast Renzo guys call it, the scorpion lock) is an excellent technique from half guard. You have a great way of controlling distance and posture from there and it makes it a hell of a lot easier to get the underhooks
