Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to take the opponent’s back from his closed guard. Lucas has the opponent in his closed guard and starts by gripping the arm and brings it across. He hips escapes in the opposite direction as he pushes the arm. After Lucas hip escapes, he closes his guard on the side. The other hand is now used to reach under the other arm and grips the lapel while still controlling the other arm with the first grip. Lucas now pulls the opponent towards him and takes the back.
