Body lock from guard
Also known as Clamp Position — the canonical term used on this site.
Descriptive — body-lock applied from guard position
Body lock from guard is the descriptive name for the clamp guard — flagging the body-lock mechanic the configuration produces against the opponent’s posture from the bottom position.
Etymology. “Body lock” specifies the trunk-encircling control mechanism; “from guard” specifies the bottom-position context. The compound appears in instructional vocabulary that frames the position as a body-lock-with-guard hybrid.
Mechanics. The combined upper-body lock and leg-guard pressure close the opponent’s posture options — the configuration produces sweep and back-take threats simultaneously.
Cross-reference. “Overhook guard” and “overhook clamp” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Clamp Guard.
