Closed Guard to Sweep to Mount When Opponent Postures Up (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep the opponent when they posture up in the closed guard. The opponent is in the closed guard and starts opening Lucas’ guard. He postures up and places one knee in between the legs and the other is posted out. Lucas reaches for the inside of the knee with his opposite side hand. Lucas now opens his guard and sweeps the opponent to the side. Depending on the opponent’s reaction, Lucas can immediately mount or switches his grips to pull the arm up and get to the mount.
