Top Lockdown Turk by Craig Jones

Overview

Craig Jones demonstrates the Top Lockdown Turk, a half-guard control position using both legs to neutralize the opponent's bottom leg. He explains how hip pressure and leg entanglement prevent knee retraction, creating a stable base for transitioning into a half-butterfly guard or advancing to upper-body pins and passes.
