Armbar Prevention from Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to prevent the opponent from going for the armbar from the closed guard. Lucas is in the opponent’s closed guard and the opponent starts to control Lucas’ arm and collar. He starts to climb his legs up in an attempt to get Lucas in the armbar. Lucas immediately controls the collar and starts to apply pressure forward. Lucas leans forward until he is able to escape his shoulder. From here, Lucas moves back to the opponent’s closed guard.
