Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep the opponent from the closed guard when they stand up. Lucas has a closed guard and is controlling both sleeves. The opponent stands up in an attempt to open the guard. Lucas releases a grip on the sleeve and under hooks the same side leg near the ankle. Lucas pulls on the leg and uses his hips to push the opponent back. As the opponent falls to the mat, Lucas maintains his closed guard and arches his body forward so he can then open the guard and take the mount position
