Back Escape Variation when Opponent Attempt to Keep the Back (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a back control escape variation, when he tries to escape and the opponent tries to take him to the other side. Lucas is in the opponent's back control and grips the opponent's arm. He now bridges and starts to turn in the opposite direction that the opponent has the arm over the shoulder. Lucas turns into the opponent in an attempt to escape, but the opponent starts to take him to the other side. As they are turning, Lucas brings his knee up to block the opponent’s hook. From here, Lucas grips the pants and uses his foot to push the opponent’s leg away. Once he is over the leg, Lucas bridges once again and turns into the opponent to get to the side control.
