Open Guard to X-Guard to Sweep Variation (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a technique for transitioning from open guard to X-guard and then passing the guard. He starts in open guard and explains how to address situations where the opponent's knee placement makes it difficult to move. Lucas bumps the opponent with his leg and shifts his hips to create space, allowing him to enter into the X-guard position. From X-guard, he shows several options for passing, including controlling the opponent's legs and using precise footwork to clear the legs and advance into side control.
