Closed Guard to Armbar or Sweep or Armbar from the Top (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get the armbar from the closed guard, or from the top. Lucas has the opponent in his closed guard. In this scenario, the opponent has good posture and Lucas isn't able to break the opponent down. Lucas instead grips one of the arms and pulls it across, locking it under his own armpit. This allows Lucas to reach over the shoulder with his other hand and also allows him to raise his legs. From here, Lucas now under hooks the leg and can finish the armbar from this position. He can also sweep the opponent and get the armbar from the top position.
