Open Guard to X-Guard with Technical Stand Up (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to transition from open guard to X-guard and then complete the sequence with a technical stand up. He begins in open guard and uses a bump and a collar pull to stop the opponent from putting pressure on him. He keeps his outside leg tense while extending the inside leg, which creates space to move. When the opponent drops their knee, Lucas locks and squeezes it, using this to switch his legs to the X-guard position. He then stands up while maintaining control and goes for the opponent's ankle. Lucas pushes the opponent forward and adjusts his grip as needed to end up in a dominant position.
