Knee Shield to Sweep to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to use the knee shield to prevent the opponent from passing and reverses him to get to the side control. Lucas starts with the half guard and knee shield controlling the collar and sleeve. He releases the collar grip and under hooks the opponent’s arm so he can reach behind the back to control the pants. Lucas now switches the hooks on the opponent’s leg and traps it. He pushes forward and comes up. Once he comes up, he uses his legs to stretch the opponent’s leg making them fall back. Lucas then steps over and goes for the side control.
