Closed Guard to X Guard to One Leg X to Sweep (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to transition to the x guard from the closed guard and then sweep the opponent. Lucas has the opponent in his closed guard. The opponent starts to stand up to try to start opening the guard. Lucas controls the collar and under hooks the leg. As he does so, he slightly turns his body to the side so he can open his guard and slide his legs down. He uses his feet to hook the waist and the far side leg. This allows Lucas to push the opponent away, so he can then switch his hooks to the X guard. In this variation, the opponent breaks Lucas’ collar grip and pulls up on the sleeve. Lucas grips the opponent’s sleeve and switches his legs back to the one leg x. While controlling the sleeve, Lucas then goes to the one leg x to the other side, trapping the arm with his foot. From here, Lucas sweeps the opponent back.
