Closed Guard to Lasso and Spider Guard to Armbar or Triangle Submission (Advanced)

Professor Lucas teaches how to get the armbar or triangle submission from the closed guard, using the lasso and spider guard to transition. Lucas controls both of the opponent’s sleeves and slides one knee in and his other foot over the arm placing it on the shoulder in the half lasso position. He pushes the opponent with his legs so he can release his other foot and place it on the bicep. The opponent responds by lifting his knee to try to remove Lucas’ lasso. Lucas then pushes the bicep and releases the lasso, so he can hook the opponent’s foot. He pushes again on the bicep and shifts the opponent’s balance. Lucas kicks the foot and immediately brings both legs up and locks them together. From this position, Lucas can finish with the armbar or triangle submission.
