Knee Cut to Pass to Armbar with Finishing Details (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates how to pass a tight half guard and immediately secure submissions. The technique starts by establishing an underhook and a strong cross face to apply shoulder pressure, forcing the opponent to create an opening. Lucas addresses the opponent's defensive hand lock with a specific grip break. He pushes the opponent's locked hands toward their own shoulder using his knee to pry the grip open. Lucas then shows a couple of variations on breaking the opponent's own grip, to finish the armbar.
