Closed Guard to Omoplata Attempt to Back Take When Opponent Defends (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to take the opponent’s back, after attempting an omoplata from the closed guard. Lucas controls the opposite sleeve and under hooks the same side leg to go for the omoplata. The opponent defends by turning the elbow out. Lucas immediately grips his hands together while still controlling the leg. He then brings his other leg over the opponent’s and grips the back of the pants. The opponent tries to stand up and Lucas hips escapes and hooks the leg to force the opponent back. From here, Lucas then is able to take the back.
