Closed Guard to X Guard to Technical Stand Up (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to transition to the x guard from the closed guard. Lucas has the opponent in his closed guard. The opponent starts to stand up to try to start opening the guard. Lucas controls the collar and under hooks the leg. As he does so, he slightly turns his body to the side so he can open his guard and slide his legs down. He uses his feet to hook the waist and the far side leg. This allows Lucas to push the opponent away, so he can then switch his hooks to the X guard. Once in the X guard, Lucas pushes the opponent away and comes up with a technical stand up.
