Side Control Escape to Back Take (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the side control and get to the back control. Lucas starts in the opponent's side control framing with one arm in front of the opponent's neck and the other one around the arm, keeping his elbow in tight. Lucas bridges into the opponent and pushes him up. He shrimps out to create space. Once he shrimps out, he immediately goes for the under hook. Lucas, now rocks his legs and scissors them to come out the side where he hugs the opponents back from the turtle position. From here, Lucas goes for the seat belt grip, placing one arm over the shoulder and the other one underneath the other arm connecting his hands together. He now pushes the opponent down and establishes the hooks to finish with the back control.
