50/50 Guard Escape to Top Position (Advanced)

Professor Andre Gois teaches how to escape from the 50/50 guard. The opponent has Andre in the 50/50 guard and locks his feet in a figure four. Andre leans in the opposite direction to prevent the opponent from sweeping. As he turns his knee away, he also bends his foot and hides it from the opponent. Andre now stands up and uses his hips to push the opponent’s legs forward. He grips the ankles and then opens the legs. From here, Andre can now pass or step back to disengage.
